In partnership with English National Ballet

Bringing world-class ballet to the widest possible audience.

Established in 1950 as Festival Ballet before rebranding as English National Ballet (ENB) in 1989, ENB brings world-class ballet to the widest possible audience, delighting them with the traditional and inspiring them with the new. Under the leadership of Artistic Director, Aaron S. Watkin, the Company stands for artistic excellence and creativity.

Our partnership

Cunard and ENB have been in partnership since 2019, presenting together the special Dance the Atlantic Event Voyage on board Queen Mary 2.

On land, we are proud to have been Production Sponsors of a number of ENB’s critically acclaimed productions including She Persisted, Akram Khan’s Creature and Johan Inger's fresh take on the classic tale of seduction and obsession, Carmen, brought to the UK for the first time in 2024.
