Queen Anne

Summer Fjords, Winter Sun and Ocean Crossings from Southampton

Most of Queen Anne’s sailings leave from Southampton, which most of Britain can reach by rail or road, so her round trips begin and end within easy reach of home. From May to September she runs 7-night cruises to the Norwegian fjords; ports vary between departures, but Stavanger, Olden and Haugesund are typical. Our Norway cruises from Southampton set her fjord dates beside every other summer departure from the same port.

In November and December she heads south on 12- and 14-night round trips to the Canary Islands, with Funchal on Madeira, Tenerife and Lanzarote among the calls you might see. Through much of the year she also runs 5- and 7-night round trips from Southampton.

Her long voyages leave Southampton in January, one way. Crossings of 12 or 13 nights end in Miami or Fort Lauderdale and can call at Ponta Delgada in the Azores and Hamilton in Bermuda; passages of 27 to 35 nights end in Rio de Janeiro or Los Angeles; and world cruise voyages from Southampton of 46, 50 or 63 nights reach Sydney or Hong Kong, typically by way of the Panama Canal. In February and March she sails back from Valparaíso to Southampton or Hamburg over 31 to 36 nights, with Callao for Lima and Aruba among the possible stops. Wherever one of these voyages starts or finishes abroad, we book the flight, a hotel either side and the transfers, on one booking with the cruise. Queen Anne sails alongside Cunard’s Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria, all on our Cunard cruise line page.

Dining on Queen Anne: Britannia and Beyond

Included dining on Queen Anne centres on the Britannia Restaurant, a grand hall of chandeliers, polished wood and white linen whose menus run from seafood to grilled steaks. For a lighter lunch, the Wellness Café on deck serves smoothies, juices, salads and grain bowls, also included in the fare.

For a night away from Britannia, Aranya, Tramonto and Aji Wa each carry a charge and each has its own idea. Aranya takes classic regional Indian dishes and gives every plate a playful twist; Tramonto opens only in the evening, with simple Mediterranean cooking inspired by Sicily, Sardinia and Seville; and Aji Wa sets traditional Japanese technique alongside contemporary interpretation.

A Ballroom, a Pub and a Piano Bar on Queen Anne

Evenings on Queen Anne revolve around a ballroom, a proper pub and a piano bar. The Queens Room is her dance floor under glittering chandeliers, with daytime workshops and evening sessions from the tango to the waltz, and its live music and dance sessions are included in the fare.

The Golden Lion is a wood-panelled British-style tavern pouring ales and whiskies, with pub food, live sport, karaoke and quiz nights. The Commodore Club is calmer: a piano bar with floor-to-ceiling windows and seven signature cocktails named after decorated Commodores. Both are free to walk into, with drinks charged separately.

Can I Take a Short Break on Queen Anne?

Yes: Queen Anne runs 3- and 4-night round trips from Southampton in January, May and from October to December. Stops change between departures, but Rotterdam and Zeebrugge, for Bruges, are among them, and our search of mini cruises with Cunard gathers the line’s short sailings in one place.

Queen Anne Cabins and Deck Plans

Her Grills suites lead into The Grills, a private area with its own Queens Grill and Princess Grill restaurants, a lounge and a terrace with two infinity hot tubs facing the horizon. The Queen Anne cabins and deck plans show where The Grills sit on her decks.
