Queen Anne - Spain & Portugal from Southampton

Queen Anne is Cunard's first new ship in 14 years, debuting in May 2024, and easily its most modern - widely judged the line's most beautiful new build since Queen Mary 2. The roughly 3,000-guest vessel keeps Cunard's British ocean-liner DNA of formal nights, afternoon tea, ballroom dancing, and a dress-up crowd, but wraps it in a light, contemporary, art-deco-tinged interior rather than the heavier traditional look of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. The vibe is refined and grown-up, skewing toward older, affluent, heavily British travelers, yet reviewers also pitch it as the friendliest Cunard ship for first-timers.
