Cunard announced its 2027 entertainment program, with four Event Voyages onboard the Queen Mary 2 and new entertainment residencies across the cruise line's fleet.
Guests sailing aboard Queen Mary 2, Queen Anne, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria may enjoy special entertainment via entertainment residencies. Examples of residencies include The Essence of Audrey, a new biopic inspired by the life of Audrey Hepburn, and The Truman Capote Talk Show, an award-winning performance of the writer.
"Entertainment has always been central to the Cunard experience, and our 2027 program brings together world leading cultural partners in a way that only Cunard can," said Katie McAlister, President of Cunard. "From our signature Event Voyages on board the world's only ocean liner to new residencies across the fleet, we're giving guests the opportunity to connect with the arts in a way that simply isn't possible anywhere else."
