It’s the height of British luxury in the cruising industry.

Cunard's newest ship has made its highly anticipated North American debut in New York.

It’s the Queen Anne.

Cunard's first new ship in more than a decade spans 14 decks and features 15 dining venues, accommodating up to 3,000 guests.

The ship has 4,300 pieces of art, commissioned from both emerging and established artists worldwide, each offering a unique interpretation of Cunard's iconic legacy.

There’s more.

With the debut of Queen Anne, Cunard enhanced its wellness offerings for guests. The Pavilion Wellness Café is a new venue serving breakfast, lunch, and daytime dining, with a menu celebrating plant-based cuisine alongside sustainably sourced meat, fish, and dairy.

Queen Anne's call in New York marks the first stop on her 107-day inaugural World Voyage. Cunard has sailed into New York since 1847, longer than any other cruise line. Cunard ships carried one in five immigrants to America, helping millions begin new lives in New York and beyond.

McAlister expressed her excitement about the ship's North American debut: "Queen Anne represents the pinnacle of innovation, design, and hospitality for Cunard, and her arrival in New York is an historic milestone for our company. As we celebrate nearly two centuries of maritime excellence, Queen Anne ushers Cunard into a new era of luxury cruising and continues delivering unforgettable experiences that connect people and cultures around the globe."

"We are proud to contribute to the record-high 1.5 million cruise passengers that travel to NYC bringing $500 million in local economic impact to New York."
