Cunard Queen Anne

Closer Look: Cunard’s Queen Anne

  • January 25, 2025
  • Brad A. Johnson
Last summer, I sailed aboard Cunard’s newest ocean liner, the Queen Anne, which had just debuted with a series of sailings through the Norwegian fjords. My review of this new ship appears in the winter issue of OLTRE, which published a few days ago. This is the largest and arguably most luxurious vessel of the storied Cunard fleet. And while the ship’s exterior hews true to the brand’s iconic red-and-black design, the reimagined interior marks a dramatic shift from the art deco heritage of Cunard’s other ships. As usual, the layout in the magazine’s limited pages allowed for only a few images, so here’s a companion gallery to provide a more in-depth look around.
