In partnership with the British Film Institute

A spotlight on our partnership

Storytelling has always had a powerful place on our voyages, so it was only natural that we should find ourselves in partnership with the British Film Institute (BFI), an organisation that champions cinema in all forms.

The BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express

Held annually, The BFI London Film Festival is a celebration of film, TV, and immersive storytelling. Open to anyone, the ticketed Festival showcases new releases from around the world. Q&As and events, such as DJ nights and debates, also form part of the Festival's programme, offering attendees the chance to hear directly from industry insiders.

A red carpet on London’s Southbank is laid out for premiere screenings at Royal Festival Hall, and all festivalgoers additionally get the opportunity to cast their vote in the LFF Audience Awards, making this a truly fantastic experience for fans of cinematic storytelling.

The UK premier of Jay Kelly

This year’s Cunard Gala presents the UK premiere of Jay Kelly. Written by Noah Baumbach and Emily Mortimer, the comedy-drama features an ensemble cast including George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, and Riley Keough.

The film follows famous movie actor Jay Kelly and his devoted manager Ron as they embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe. Along the way, both men are forced to confront the choices they've made, the relationships with their loved ones, and the legacies they’ll leave behind.
