An elevated travel experience
VALENCIA, Calif., Dec. 1, 2022
/CNW/ -- Last night, Cunard welcomed guests to an extraordinary
evening at Carlton House Terrace, London, showcasing all that Queen Anne – the latest Cunard cruise liner –
has to offer to top tier media, influencers and cruise industry
networks, for a full 360 brand experience.
Following the eagerly anticipated name reveal of Queen Anne earlier this year, Cunard proudly
demonstrated how the ship will set the benchmark for luxury ocean
travel to guests in an intimate gathering in London. Those in attendance enjoyed an
unparalleled insight into reimagined signature spaces of the cruise
liner, whilst discovering brand-new venues that will bring guests
greater choice.
Cunard unveiled a collection of never before seen artwork
championing young contemporary artists, just some of the 4,300
pieces of art that will be aboard the ship. Highlights included
Artists Pei Chi Lee, John Biggs and
Tommy Camerno at the event showcasing their exclusive masterpieces
for Queen Anne, including the reveal
of Camerno's portrait of Queen Anne
which will be displayed in the Queen's room.
Guests were also introduced to Bright Lights Society – a
new intimate venue, designed by the renowned Richmond
International, offering hosted experiences and an exciting carousel
of entertainment for guests, where no two nights are the same. The
name, Bright Lights Society honours Cunard's heritage as the
world's first ocean liner to use electric lights.
Guests experienced Cunard's White Star Service sipping on the
Perfect Serve – three distinctive gin cocktails made with Cunard's
Three Queens Gin, individually crafted by Pickering's to celebrate
the routes most associated with each Cunard
Queen. Cunard private label wines and Cunard crafted beer
were also on tap to immerse each guest into life on board
Queen Anne.
Designers from David Collins Studio, Richmond International and
Sybille de Margerie who worked with
Creative Director Adam D. Tihany
were all in attendance to reveal the design inspiration behind
Queen Anne. Having been immersed in
the Cunard archives, the talents, whose portfolios include luxury
hotels, bars, restaurants, high end yachts, and private grand
residences, have ensured that Queen
Anne exudes classic Cunard style while showcasing many new
considered touches. Queen Anne's
breath-taking interiors take inspiration from Cunard's past,
celebrating the beautiful art deco style finishes that the brand is
known for, to define a striking new design direction for the
future.
Carnival UK Acting Senior Vice President Angus Struthers warmly greeted guests with these
remarks: "Tonight, you started your journey at sunset and travelled
through a sensory experience before viewing a one-of-a-kind art
gallery showcasing a selection from the 4,300 never seen before
pieces of artwork and sculptures that have been curated for
Queen Anne. We have been
working with more than 3,000 artists and designers and are proud to
continue our work championing contemporary artists, some of which
you will have the pleasure of meeting this evening. It just
leaves me to thank our world leading designers and brand partners
as they continue to refine the Cunard signatures and craft a
collection of exciting new Queen
Anne venues and experiences. We look forward to sharing more
about the collection over the coming year and can't wait to welcome
you on board in 2024!"
Queen Anne will set sail in 2024.
Her maiden season will go on sale for Cunard World Club members on
December 6 2022 and on general sale
from December 7, 2022.
