Creator's Key Takeaways

I was very fortunate to get to the shipyard before the tours and spend 2 days on board the ship with Kunard's brand manager, Francis Fred, to learn my way around the ship and identify the different spaces

Although Kunard did engage me in a professional capacity, they have not paid me to make this video and any opinions that I share here are my own

The Commodore Club on Queen Anne not only is the largest Commodore Club on Aunada, but it also has a dual purpose

What a fantastic place to enjoy a wedding at sea

Today known as Queen Anne, the new ship is the 249th vessel built for Cunard, and was ordered from the Fincantieri Marghera Shipyard, Italy. The ship’s design is based on the Pinnacle-class utilised by Holland America Line. The selection of the 113,000 gross ton Pinnacle-class platform makes the new ship larger than the Vista-class Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. Although smaller than the 149,500 gross ton flagship Queen Mary 2, the new vessel will have a higher passenger capacity. Cunard announced the design team for the public rooms aboard the then-unnamed ship in 2019. Led by Simon Rawlings (David Collins Studio), Terry McGillicuddy (Richmond International) and Sybille de Margerie (Sybille de Margerie Paris), the design team were tasked with reimagining the Cunard experience for the modern traveller.
