Overview
Cunard is the iconic British ocean-liner brand with over 180 years of majestic sea travel behind it, known for its Queen-ships — Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, and the new Queen Anne — and its timeless elegance at sea. Maintaining a legacy of sophistication, Cunard fuses grand liner tradition with modern comforts to offer a voyage that feels like both a social event and a serene escape.
Why Travelers Choose Them
Guests choose Cunard because of its White Star Service, delivering refined, attentive, and courteous hospitality — from butler-level service in premium suites to warm, knowledgeable staff across all classes. Cunard also offers a deeply romantic and classic ocean experience with unique traditions like formal Gala Evenings, daily Afternoon Tea in the Queen’s Room, and enriching onboard enrichment lectures. Its long-standing reputation for luxury, history, and quality makes it a favorite for travelers seeking more than just a cruise — a grand maritime journey.
