Cunard Line

Cunard’s staterooms and suites are more than just places to sleep—they’re elegant retreats designed with every detail in mind. Whether you’re in a Britannia stateroom or one of the Queens Grill suites, you’ll find thoughtful touches everywhere. Here’s what to expect:

Britannia Staterooms

Cosy yet stylish, these staterooms are equipped with all the essentials, like nightly turndown service, satellite TV, and a refrigerator. It’s everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Britannia Club Staterooms

Take it up a notch with enhanced amenities and extra privileges, including priority embarkation and disembarkation.

Princess Grill Suites

Spacious and luxurious, these suites include private balconies, roomy living areas, and a dedicated concierge to handle all the little details.

Queens Grill Suites

This is luxury at its finest. These suites are the largest on board, offering personal butler service, walk-in wardrobes, and beautifully designed bathrooms complete with whirlpool tubs. It’s the perfect mix of space, comfort, and indulgence. The sweeping balconies, complete with cushioned loungers and a private dining area, make this the ultimate indulgence choice.

Attention to Every Detail

Every stateroom and suite on a Cunard ship is designed to feel like your own private retreat—comfortable, elegant, and with just the right touch of luxury. Expect en suite bathrooms, air conditioning, soft Egyptian cotton linens, pamper packs, and a dedicated steward to make sure everything is just right. It’s all about making you feel completely at ease while surrounded by sophistication.

For those travelling in Queens Grill Master or Grand Suites, the experience is even more spectacular. These suites feature a reception hall, a Great Room with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a customisable space that can serve as a dining room or an additional guest bedroom.

Travelling as a family or a group? Cunard has you covered with Family Rooms that can accommodate up to four guests and Interconnecting Rooms for added flexibility.

Whether you’re savouring an elegant dinner in a fine dining restaurant, catching up with friends over something casual, or grabbing a bite with the ocean as your backdrop, every dish with Cunard is crafted with care, precision, and the freshest ingredients.

Included Dining Options: Something for Everyone

On Cunard ships, every stateroom comes with an assigned restaurant, where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in your fare. These venues deliver a mix of classic elegance and exceptional flavours:

• Britannia Restaurant: The main dining room exudes sophistication, with a menu that changes daily and a touch of formality for Gala Evenings.
• Britannia Club Restaurant: A more intimate setting exclusively for Britannia Club guests, offering attentive service in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere.
• Queens Grill: The height of fine dining, exclusively for Queens Grill suite guests. Dine whenever you like at your reserved table, with smart attire for dinner and a black tie on Gala Evenings.
• Princess Grill: Reserved for Princess Grill suite guests, this dining venue offers an elevated menu and personalised service in a stylish setting.
• The Lido (Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth) and Kings Court (Queen Mary 2): Casual, buffet-style dining venues with a wide array of options, perfect for any time of day.

Alternative Dining: Treat Yourself

For those moments when you want something extra special, Cunard offers alternative dining venues at an additional cost:

• The Steakhouse at The Verandah: Exceptional steaks and seafood, served with sophistication. Pre-book for $58.50 for dinner or $31.50 for lunch, or book on board for slightly more.
• Dinner at the Lido: Destination-inspired menus featuring regional flavours, starting at $31.50 per person.
• Al Fresco Dining: Mediterranean-inspired meals served with the ocean as your backdrop—perfect for a sunny day.
• The Golden Lion Pub: Classic British pub fare in a relaxed setting, with some menu items carrying a small fee on Queen Anne.
• Sir Samuel’s: A nod to Cunard’s founder, featuring carefully curated land-and-sea pairings.
• Cafe Carinthia: A casual spot offering vegetarian options, alternative milks, and takeaway food and drinks.
• The Carinthia Lounge: Light lunches, small plates, and premium wines in a serene environment.
• Artisans’ Foodhall: A go-to for grab-and-go dishes, snacks, and freshly prepared meals, available throughout the day.

Afternoon Tea: A Cunard Tradition

Afternoon Tea on Cunard is more than a meal—it’s a ritual. Served daily in the Queens Room, it’s a refined experience with finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries, all presented with white-glove service.

For something extra special, the Champagne Afternoon Tea adds a touch of sparkle to the occasion, complete with a glass of champagne. Reservations are required, and the cost is $40 per person.

Special Dietary Needs: Thoughtful Accommodation

Cunard takes special dietary requirements seriously, offering gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and other options. If you let them know your needs when booking or before your trip, they’ll provide menus in advance for pre-ordering. For guests with severe allergies, the main dining room is the best option to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

Cunard cruises aren’t just about where you’re going; they’re about everything in between. And by everything, I mean those moments that make you stop and think, “This is the life.” From jaw-dropping stage performances to soft melodies in a cosy corner to thought-provoking talks and magical evenings where the ship seems to hum with life, there’s something for every mood and moment. Cunard’s entertainment isn’t just there—it’s a core memory waiting to happen. Here’s what’s in store.

Evening Performances That Dazzle

At the heart of Cunard’s entertainment is the Royal Court Theatre. It’s not just a stage; it’s an experience. Picture Broadway-style productions, West End favourites, and performances brimming with talent—from singers and dancers to musicians who know how to captivate an audience. For something truly unique, Queen Anne’s Bright Lights Society takes centre stage as a show bar inspired by the dazzling allure of historic electric light installations.

Music Everywhere

Music isn’t confined to one venue onboard; it’s part of the ship’s rhythm. Whether you’re sipping cocktails or simply soaking up the atmosphere, live performances fill the air across various bars and lounges:

• The Carinthia Lounge (Queen Mary 2 and Queen Anne): A serene spot by day transforms by night, pairing Iberian wines with exquisite live music.
• The Golden Lion: Classic pub vibes meet live entertainment, perfect for those who enjoy an evening without the need to pre-book.
• The Yacht Club (Queen Victoria): Karaoke stars and late-night DJs keep the energy alive long after the sun has set.

Enrichment and Insights

Cunard knows that a holiday isn’t just about unwinding—it’s about coming back with something new. That’s why their Insights programme feels more like an adventure for your brain. Whether you’re a history buff itching for untold stories, a science enthusiast ready to be wowed, or just someone who loves a good book chat, there’s something for you. And it doesn’t stop there. Workshops let you get stuck into learning a new skill (perhaps you’ll discover your hidden knack for painting or mixology?), and if you’re admiring an artist’s work onboard, don’t be surprised if they’re right there, ready to share their story over a cup of tea.

Themed Evenings and Gala Nights

On a Cunard ship, there’s always a reason to celebrate. Gala evenings are the highlight of any voyage—think flowing gowns, sharp tuxedos, and a night of elegance. There’s something undeniably special about Cunard’s themed events. Picture yourself swirling a glass of champagne at a refined cocktail reception or losing track of time in the middle of a lively cultural celebration. And then there’s Queen Anne’s Experience Lounge—a playground for the sophisticated—where you can indulge in tastings, talks, and the kind of exclusive events that make you feel like you’re in on the best-kept secret at sea.

Fun for Families

Picture children crafting new friendships in supervised clubs, teens finding their groove in social spaces designed just for them, and multigenerational families bonding over a family-friendly show. It’s inclusivity at its best—creating memories that feel tailor-made for every dynamic. With supervised children’s clubs offering activities tailored to every age group and family-friendly shows peppered throughout the schedule, there’s no shortage of ways to keep the little ones entertained. Be sure to register your kids via My Cunard to ensure they’re ready to join in.

Why Cunard Entertainment Stands Out

Cunard takes entertainment seriously—but not in that stuffy, over-the-top way. It’s more like they’ve cracked the code on giving you just what you need, exactly when you need it. Whether it’s a jaw-dropping theatre performance that leaves you gobsmacked, a singer crooning away in a snug lounge as you sip your cocktail, or a speaker sharing something you didn’t even know you cared about, the choices are endless. It’s your holiday, your pace, and your style. One thing I can promise, though—boredom won’t be making an appearance.
