Take a look inside the new cruise ship making history with a maiden call to Belfast next weekend. Cunard’s Queen Anne will arrive at on Sunday, June 2, as part of its spectacular British Isles Festival Voyage – a celebratory ‘lap of honour’ circumnavigation of the British Isles. Her arrival in the city is anticipated to attract significant interest as the 249 ship to fly under the Cunard flag makes her maiden call.
Queen Anne is expected alongside early in the morning and scheduled to depart in the evening. Cunard has a long association with Belfast’s shipbuilding history and heritage, most recently renewed by the scheduled dry docking of one of Queen Anne’s sisters in spring 2022. The 14-night British Isles Festival Voyage will depart Southampton on 24th May with maiden calls to Greenock, Belfast, Cobh, and Liverpool and a programme of exciting on board experiences that showcase the best of Britain and Ireland's shores.
Queen Anne will sail from the Mersey for Cobh, Ireland before her return to Southampton. As the newest addition to the Cunard fleet, her design concepts have been founded on heritage, craftmanship, style, storytelling, and innovation. The 113,000-ton, 3,000-guest ship, which spans 14 decks, will offer travellers several breath-taking experiences, and more choices of entertainment, dining, and bars than ever before.
She will also boast the widest selection of fitness, beauty, thermal and spa facilities so far seen on a Cunard ship, with her reimagi.
