In just one month’s time Queen Anne will welcome her first guests in Southampton for an unforgettable maiden sailing!
Guests on board this sold-out voyage can expect a line-up of truly memorable entertainment, Cunard signature experiences and exciting new venues. And this is only the beginning of what promises to be a spectacular inaugural season!
This week we’re taking a closer look at some of Queen Anne’s new, signature venues. Keep a look out for more updates as we countdown to Queen Anne’s maiden voyage on 3 May, and look forward to her arrival into Southampton on 27 April!
Like her fellow Queens, our newest ship leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to bars and restaurants, with more choice than ever before. Guests can find the perfect spot to take in sweeping ocean vistas with a light bite, or their favourite tipple, from dawn till dusk. Whether it’s a laid-back refreshment or a spontaneous treat they desire, Artisans’ Foodhall, Carinthia Lounge, and the Chart Room, provide perfect settings for memories that will linger long after their voyage ends…
Artisans’ Foodhall
No matter when you feel peckish, Artisans’ Foodhall has something to offer, from sweet grab-and-go treats to more elaborate dishes created by chefs in front of your eyes. Find fresh and zesty breakfasts, whether that’s pancakes or smoothies. At lunch choose from a generous array of colourful salads, wholesome pasta dishes, and plenty more. Maybe you’ll grab an afternoon snack, as platters of pastries and cakes catch your eye. For dinner, explore a variety of different flavours, where there will always be something new to try, alongside much-loved classics. Satisfying, juicy burgers.
Expertly spiced curries. Perfect roast beef with all the trimmings. Specialist diet areas are also available throughout the day should you have any dietary requirements, and late-night snacks are on hand if you’re looking for a little something on the way back to your stateroom. This ‘something for everyone’ dining option will not disappoint.
Carinthia Lounge
Crowning the Grand Lobby, the Carinthia Lounge is a time-honoured Cunard favourite, and the ideal place to begin your day at sea. This perfectly positioned haven is adorned with elegant decor that extends into a glazed conservatory, framing seascapes that will impress no matter the weather. Live music shapes the rhythms of the day as you enjoy exquisitely crafted pastries served alongside barista-crafted coffee. Enjoy dishes crafted from high-quality ingredients right through until evening falls. From delectable breakfast pastries to a lunch menu filled with all kinds of different flavours, there’s no better place to whet your appetite with a light snack before heading off to adventure ashore. As the sun slips behind the waves, wine, charcuterie boards, and small plates complete the menu in this stylish lounge.
Chart Room
The refined Chart Room cocktail lounge has a unique allure all of its own. By day, peruse a chart-themed drinks menu that features a wide variety of both hot and cold options – from invigorating soft drinks and crisp wines to premium beers and small-batch spirits. As night falls, sample signature cocktails inspired by twinkling constellations and the beauty of the night sky. From intimate moments to impromptu gatherings with newfound companions, the refined ambiance of the Chart Room elevates every occasion.
