Vendor

Cunard

General

For over 180 years Cunard has set the bar, and then raised it. Their rich history and unrivaled seafaring knowledge means that Cunard has grown into a truly iconic brand. A brand that constantly refines the definitive experience of ocean travel.

The fleet is comprised of four Queens: Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, and the newest ship Queen Anne. Over the years, Cunard has sailed a staggering 249 ships to the four corners of the world.

Past

During what is widely known as the Golden Age of cruising, many of Hollywood’s biggest names traveled the seas in style with Cunard. The likes of Cary Grant, Elizabeth Taylor, and Charlie Chaplin were among our guests. It was Cunard's unparalleled, white-gloved service, impressive ball rooms, and the chance to discover the world in sublime comfort, that kept this calibre of guests returning; the same reasons why Cunard's modern-day guests have followed suit.

Present

The designs of Cunard's current ships have been inspired by their past but reimagined for their future. Alongside classic, art deco stylings and unrivalled craftsmanship you’ll find splashes of bold color and contemporary comforts.

Feel free to do as much or as little as you like on board, as every venue has been carefully developed to provide plenty of choice. Whether your priority is relaxation, adventure, or indulgence, your Cunard ship will not disappoint.

Future

As a fleet of four ships, Cunard continues to extend the Cunard Line for future generations, creating even more opportunity to sail the world in comfort and style.

As Cunard steadily approaches 200 years of Cunard, their rich heritage of ocean travel means we have been able to refine what it means to voyage.

We look forward to welcoming you on board.

With surround sound and flashing lights, costume and set changes, a show in this Palladium-style theater will make you feel like you’ve stepped right onto Broadway. Immerse yourself in breathtaking dance shows, captivating dramas, or stand-up comedy. You can even watch on from your own private box, complete with bell pull when you’re in the mood for champagne.

In this expansive entertainment space, live music and dancing unlock unforgettable evenings to socialize and let your hair down with your fellow guests on board. Dance the night away to the sounds of a live orchestra at one of the Queens Room’s popular Party Nights, or simply relax with a drink and enjoy the upbeat ambiance of this iconic venue. With a full bar service and the biggest dancefloor of all of Queen Victoria’s entertainment spaces, every evening in the Queens Room feels like a celebration.

Live Music

Live music has always been a signature part of our on board entertainment offer, and a cruise on Queen Victoria is no exception. Day and night, you’ll find opportunity to indulge in musical performances across your ship, each offering something bespoke and special. Perhaps you’ll sip a freshly shaken martini to the melodies of a live pianist in the Commodore Club or step up to the microphone for a spot of karaoke at the Yacht Club. Other evenings might see you dancing to your favorite song at a silent disco or listening to an acoustic guitarist perform stripped back versions of classic hits in the Winter Garden. From harpists to jazz trios, contemporary singers, to cover bands, Queen Victoria offers a vibrant musical scene to soothe the soul and uplift the spirit.

Golden Lion

Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Queen Victoria’s Golden Lion pub, where hearty cuisine, refreshing drinks, and lively entertainment await throughout the day and night. Enjoy a flight of Cunard ales while watching live sports on the big screen or challenge yourself in a fun and friendly pub quiz, perhaps even forming a team with new friends you’ve made on board. With darts and other games to keep you entertained, and live music performed in the evenings, Queen Victoria’s Golden Lion is always a sociable space to be. Pull up a pew at the bar or sit window side and relax into the congenial atmosphere.

Bars and Lounges

Commodore Club

Ascend to the Commodore Club, perched on deck 10 of the ship, and straight away be captivated by the breathtaking vista out to sea. This venue is a favorite for pre-dinner drinks, when attentive wait staff serve canapés and nibbles alongside your favorite drink. Enjoy the beautiful background music courtesy of a skilled pianist, as you swap stories with friends new and old.

Grills Lounge

If you’re staying in Queen Victoria’s Princess Grill or Queens Grill Suites, you’ll have your own private bar to while away an evening in. Reserved purely for guests of these two accommodation tiers, the Grills Lounge can be accessed via a private staircase from Deck 10, or by taking the cloud-motif lift (activated using your Voyage card). Once inside, you’ll find snug sofas and velvety club chairs to curl into as your Grills Lounge bartender mixes up your drink of choice. Coffees and teas are complimentary, but all other drinks are charged per the menu.

Chat Room

Resplendent with its brushed gold accents, the Chart Room’s symmetrical interiors offer a timeless nod to the romance and geometry of Art Deco design. You’ll find this striking bar directly off the Grand Lobby, opposite Steakhouse at The Verandah on Deck 2. It’s a wonderful venue to visit on Gala Evenings when the sight of tuxedo-attired gentlemen and women in evening gowns evokes the spirit of a bygone era. The signature drink selection includes a range of custom cocktails inspired by the Zodiac. Ask the bartender to mix you up your birth sign or defy convention and let your taste buds choose.

The Golden Lion

You’ll find all the warmth and conviviality of a traditional English pub at Queen Victoria’s Golden Lion. With hearty food and beers on draught, a visit here feels just as welcoming as stepping into your local. Relaxed dress is welcome at all times of day, even on Gala Evenings, and there’s live music and pub quizzes to keep you entertained. Well, who doesn’t love a bit of friendly competition? A complimentary menu featuring fish and chips, pie and mash, and our signature Cunard Ploughman’s is available at lunchtimes, while the drinks selection includes a range of Cunard own-brand ales and a choice of Bloody Marys.

Yacht Club

When the rest of the ship is winding down, Queen Victoria’s Yacht Club can always be counted on to keep the party going. Open for Insights talks, choir rehearsals, and dance classes during the day, this nautical themed lounge-bar takes on a whole new persona come nightfall. The home of karaoke and late-night DJs on board, you’ll find the decks spinning at the Yacht Club long after our other bars and lounges have called it a night.

Destination

Europe

European cruises include Northern and Western European itineraries. Cruising Northern Europe may be perfect for you. Northern European itineraries typically visit the Scandinavian peninsula, Baltic states, and the Netherlands on seven to fifteen day cruises. You may prefer Western European cruises. Cruises in Western Europe often leave from London, Lisbon, or Rome and can last from five to eighteen days. Ports visited include Paris, France; Dublin, Ireland; Barcelona, Spain; and the south of France. Choose either one, and you'll enjoy unlimited first-rate cuisine and you'll have a range of activities available to you on a comfortable and well-appointed cruise ship.

Ports of Call

Barcelona, Spain

City Barcelona

Barcelona is the cultural heartland of Spain, yet its first language is Catalan, the native tongue of the proudly independent Catalonia region. Stroll down the shady, tree-lined Ramblas between street musicians and elegant bistros. Then perhaps visit the venerable Gothic cathedral, Picasso Museum or enjoy the architectural genius of Antonio Gaudi's Church of the Holy Family.

Heraklion, Crete, Greece

City Heraklion

Heraklion, the capital of Crete and its principal commercial port, is just three miles away from the fantastic ruins of the Palace of Knossos. Discovered in 1899 by Sir Arthur Evans and partially reconstructed, the elaborate Palace is believed to be the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos and the seat of ancient Minoan culture. The Archaeological Museum in Heraklion displays many of the treasures found during the excavations.

Ephesus, Turkey

Dardanelles, Turkey

Istanbul, Turkey

City Istanbul

Once called Constantinople, the former capital of the Byzantine Empire is the only city in the world to straddle two continents: Europe and Asia. This is the Golden Horn, the door between East and West, and your first vision of its domes and minarets is unforgetable. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Sultan treasures in Topkapi Palace await - as does the Grand Bazaar, laden with carpets, beaten brass and spices from afar.
