Founded in 1839, it boasts a rich history and is recognised for its commitment to luxury, elegance, and impeccable service. Cunard's ships have become synonymous with the golden era of ocean travel, and the line continues to maintain a sense of timeless grandeur, offering passengers a truly regal experience on the high seas.
Cunard's fleet comprises a small but distinguished collection of ocean liners, with its flagship vessels being the RMS Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth, with the newest Queen to the fleet launching in 2024; Queen Anne. These majestic ships are designed to blend classic maritime charm with modern amenities, offering passengers a glimpse into the past while enjoying all the comforts of contemporary cruising.
A standout feature of Cunard's cruises is their emphasis on formal evenings and traditional dining, maintaining the tradition of dressing up for dinner and enjoying exquisite multi-course meals served with white-glove service. This adherence to a more formal dress code and the celebration of traditional 'Gala Evenings' adds to the air of sophistication and elegance that pervades throughout the cruise experience.
Cunard offers a range of itineraries that take passengers to various destinations across the globe, including Europe, Alaska, Australia, Asia, world cruises, and more.
The line's signature transatlantic crossings, in particular, are cherished for their historic significance and continue to draw travellers seeking a unique and classic way to traverse the Atlantic Ocean.
Onboard, passengers can indulge in a diverse array of activities and entertainment options. From Broadway-style shows and live performances to lectures from distinguished guest speakers and themed events, there is never a dull moment on a Cunard cruise.
