About Southampton
Lying near the head of Southampton Water, a peninsula between the estuaries of the Rivers Test and Itchen, Southampton is Britain’s largest cruise port. It has been one of England’s major ports since the Middle Ages, when it exported wool and hides from the hinterland and imported wine from Bordeaux. The city suffered heavy damage during World War Two and as a result the centre has been extensively rebuilt, but there are still some interesting medieval buildings including the Bargate, one of the finest city gatehouses in England.
About Funchal, Madeira
Formed by a volcanic eruption, Madeira lies in the Gulf Stream, about 500 miles due west of Casablanca. Discovered by Portuguese explorer João Gonçalves Zarco in 1419, this beautiful island became part of Portugal’s vast empire and was named for the dense forest which cloaked it - 'Madeira' means 'wood' in Portuguese. Sugar plantations first brought wealth here, and when King Charles II of England granted an exclusive franchise to sell wine to England and its colonies, many British emigrants were drawn to the capital, Funchal. Today’s travellers come to Madeira for the varied and luxuriant scenery, from mountain slopes covered with vines to picturesque villages and a profusion of wild flowers. The natural beauty of the island has earned it many pseudonyms such as ‘The Floating Garden of the Atlantic’, 'The Island of Eternal Springtime' and ‘God’s Botanical Gardens’ and our selection of excursions aim to show you why.
About Santa Cruz de Tenerife
The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife is a beautiful and scenic island which enjoys year-round sunshine and is dominated by Mount Teide. The mountain range runs through the centre of the island, with fertile valleys on the northern side. In the central part of the range is the gigantic natural crater of the Cañadas del Teide, about 14 miles in diameter. Santa Cruz, the island’s pretty capital, was originally a small fishing village but has now grown into a modern city, and also contains 16th-century civic buildings and ornate private mansions. Near the pier is the Santa Cruz Palmetum, a Botanical Garden covering an area of 29 acres, specialising in palms.
About Saint Vincent
About Walvis Bay
Once a whaling station, Walvis Bay provides a gateway to the extraordinary desert landscapes of Namibia and is itself an area of unusual natural beauty. The showpiece of the Walvis Bay area is the natural lagoon where you can see flamingos in their thousands at certain times of the year, along with a variety of other wading birds such as the white pelican. Further inland you will find the stunning Namib Desert, which provides an unlikely home for a diverse array of wildlife. Alternatively, you could venture into the desert of Sossusvlei, whose mountainous ochre sand dunes are said to be the highest in the world, or visit the colonial town of Swakopmund.
About Cape Town
Sometimes referred to as the Mother City, Cape Town is the most famous port in South Africa and is influenced by many different cultures, including Dutch, British and Malay. The port was founded in 1652 by Dutch explorer Jan Van Riebeeck, and evidence of Dutch colonial rule remains throughout the region. The port is located on one of the world's most important trade routes, and is mainly a container port and handler of fresh fruit. Fishing is another vital industry, with large Asian fishing fleets using Cape Town as a logistical repair base for much of the year. The region is famous for its natural beauty, with the imposing Table Mountain and Lions Head, as well as the many nature reserves and botanical gardens such as Kirstenbosch which boasts an extensive range of indigenous plant life, including proteas and ferns. Cape Town's weather is mercurial, and can change from beautiful sunshine to dramatic thunderstorms within a short period. A local adage is that in Cape Town you can experience four seasons in one day.

About Gqeberha (ex Port Elizabeth)
Originally the home of the San and Khoisan people and later the Xhosa tribe, the area now known as Gqeberha (previously Port Elizabeth) became a landing place for passing European ships after Portuguese navigator Bartolomew Diaz arrived in Algoa Bay in 1488. As part of the Cape Colony, the British occupied the area during the Napoleonic Wars and it was they who built Fort Frederick here in 1799. Twenty-one years later 4,000 settlers arrived, becoming the first permanent British residents of South Africa and Gqeberha. Sir Rufane Donkin, Acting Governor of the Cape Colony, founded Port Elizabeth, naming the settlement after his late wife. The town underwent rapid growth after 1873 following the construction of the railway to Kimberley, and is now one of the country’s major seaports. Like most South African cities, miles of beautiful coastline surround Gqeberha. Algoa Bay combines warm water and fair breezes, making it a mecca for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. Those interested in history can follow the Donkin Heritage Trail, past a succession of Victorian and Edwardian town houses, trim gardens and neo-Gothic churches. Just outside the town are a number of game reserves, including the famous Addo Elephant National Park.
About Durban
Durban, a glistening jewel on the south-east coast of Africa, is the third largest city in South Africa and the major city of KwaZulu-Natal. It has been a centre of sea trade since before colonisation and now has a flourishing artistic centre, which perfectly complements the vibrant markets and rich cultures of the city. Durban’s port is a natural half-moon harbour lined with white sand and azure water, punctuated by the port’s many piers which reach into the water like the leaves of a fan. The beaches of Durban’s famous Golden Mile stretch along the harbour and are popular all year round, as travellers and locals alike enjoy Durban’s warm, humid summers and mild, dry winters.

About Colombo
Sri Lanka's capital and largest city, Colombo offers fine restaurants, a buzzing nightlife scene, and good museums, parks, and beautiful Buddhist temples that are all worth visiting. The beach resort of Mt. Lavinia is only a short taxi ride from the downtown area and offers a golden, sandy beach and sunset views to die for. As an exciting blur of colors and cultures, Colombo presents a neatly packaged microcosm of this island nation.
About Port Klang
Kuala Lumpur, or KL as locals refer to it, intrigues visitors with its diversity and multicultural character. The city's old quarter features stretches of shop houses that hint at its colonial past, while modern buildings—including the iconic Petronas Towers—give a glimpse of its modern financial ambitions. The city is filled with culturally colorful quarters dedicated to Chinese, Malay, and Indian communities. New shopping malls with designer labels, five-star hotels, and top-notch restaurants also proliferate in this bustling city of 1.6 million.
About Singapore
The main island of Singapore is shaped like a flattened diamond, 42 km (26 miles) east to west and 23 km (14 miles) north to south. Near the northern peak is the causeway leading to West Malaysia—Kuala Lumpur is less than four hours away by car. It is at the southern foot where you will find most of the city-state’s action, with its gleaming office towers, working docks, and futuristic "supertrees," which are solar-powered and serve as vertical gardens. Offshore are Sentosa and over 60 smaller islands, most uninhabited, that serve as bases for oil refining or as playgrounds and beach escapes from the city. To the east is Changi International Airport, connected to the city by metro, bus, and a tree-lined parkway. Of the island's total land area, more than half is built up, with the balance made up of parkland, farmland, plantations, swamp areas, and rain forest. Well-paved roads connect all parts of the island, and Singapore city has an excellent, and constantly expanding, public transportation system. The heart of Singapore's history and its modern wealth are in and around the Central Business District. The area includes the skyscrapers in the Central Business District, the 19th-century Raffles Hotel, the convention centers of Marina Square, on up to the top of Ft. Canning. Although most of old Singapore has been knocked down to make way for the modern city, most colonial landmarks have been preserved in the CBD, including early-19th-century buildings designed by the Irish architect George Coleman.

About Hong Kong
The Hong Kong Island skyline, with its ever-growing number of skyscrapers, speaks to ambition and money. Paris, London, even New York were centuries in the making, while Hong Kong's towers, bright lights, and glitzy shopping emporia weren't yet part of the urban scene when many of the young investment bankers who fuel one of the world's leading financial centers were born. Commerce is concentrated in the glittering high-rises of Central, tucked between Victoria Harbor and forested peaks on Hong Kong Island's north shore. While it's easy to think all the bright lights are the sum of today's Hong Kong, you need only walk or board a tram for the short jaunt west into Western to discover a side of Hong Kong that is more traditionally Chinese but no less high-energy. You'll discover the real Hong Kong to the east of Central, too, in Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and beyond. Amid the residential towers are restaurants, shopping malls, bars, convention centers, a nice smattering of museums, and—depending on fate and the horse you wager on—one of Hong Kong's luckiest or unluckiest spots, the Happy Valley Racecourse. Kowloon sprawls across a generous swath of the Chinese mainland across Victoria Harbour from Central. Tsim Sha Tsui, at the tip of Kowloon peninsula, is packed with glitzy shops, first-rate museums, and eye-popping views of the skyline across the water. Just to the north are the teeming market streets of Mong Kok and in the dense residential neighborhoods beyond, two of Hong Kong's most enchanting spiritual sights, Wong Tai Sin Temple and Chi Lin Nunnery. As you navigate this huge metropolis (easy to do on the excellent transportation network), keep in mind that streets are usually numbered odd on one side, even on the other. There's no baseline for street numbers and no block-based numbering system, but street signs indicate building numbers for any given block.

About Manila
MANILA, the capital city of the Philippines, was founded in, 1571 by Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi. It is one of the oldest cities in the country and was the seat of power for most of the colonial rules of the Philippines. It is situated on the eastern shore of Manila Bay and contains a multitude of landmarks, some of which date back to the 16th century. It is home to the baroque 16th-century San Agustin Church as well as Fort Santiago, a storied citadel and military prison. In the 19th century Manila became one of the most modern cities in Asia. Before the Spanish–American War, Manila saw the rise of the Philippine Revolution. Under the American rule following the Spanish-American War, the United States changed the official language from Spanish to English. Towards the end of World War II, during the Battle of Manila, most of the city was flattened by intensive aerial bombardment. Today, tourism is a vital industry in Manila. Major shopping malls and bazaars thrive around Manila.
About Bitung, Sulawesi
About Darwin, Northern Territory
Darwin is Australia's most colorful, and exotic, capital city. Surrounded on three sides by the turquoise waters of the Timor Sea, the streets are lined with tropical flowers and trees. Warm and dry in winter, hot and steamy in summer, it's a relaxed and casual place, as well as a beguiling blend of tropical frontier outpost and Outback hardiness. Thanks to its close proximity to Southeast Asia and its multicultural population it also seems more like Asia than the rest of Australia. Darwin is a city that has always had to fight for its survival. The seductiveness of contemporary Darwin lifestyles belies a history of failed attempts that date from 1824 when Europeans attempted to establish an enclave in this harsh, unyielding climate. The original 1869 settlement, called Palmerston, was built on a parcel of mangrove wetlands and scrub forest that had changed little in 15 million years. It was not until 1911, after it had already weathered the disastrous cyclones of 1878, 1882, and 1897, that the town was named after the scientist who had visited Australia's shores aboard the Beagle in 1839. During World War II it was bombed more than 60 times, as the harbor full of warships was a prime target for the Japanese war planes. Then, on the night of Christmas Eve 1974, the city was almost completely destroyed by Cyclone Tracy, Australia’s greatest natural disaster. It's a tribute to those who stayed and to those who have come to live here after Tracy that the rebuilt city now thrives as an administrative and commercial center for northern Australia. Old Darwin has been replaced by something of an edifice complex—such buildings as Parliament House and the Supreme Court all seem very grand for such a small city, especially one that prides itself on its casual, outdoor-centric lifestyle. Today Darwin is the best place from which to explore Australia's Top End, with its wonders of Kakadu and the Kimberley region.

About Brisbane, Queensland
Founded in 1824 on the banks of the wide, meandering Brisbane River, the former penal colony of Brisbane was for many years regarded as just a big country town. Many beautiful timber Queenslander homes, built in the 1800s, still dot the riverbanks and inner suburbs, and in spring the city's numerous parks erupt in a riot of colorful jacaranda, poinciana, and bougainvillea blossoms. Today the Queensland capital is one of Australia's most up-and-coming cities: glittering high-rises mark its polished business center, slick fashion boutiques and restaurants abound, and numerous outdoor attractions beckon. In summer, temperatures here are broilingly hot and days are often humid, a reminder that this city is part of a subtropical region. Wear SPF 30-plus sunscreen and a broad-brimmed hat outdoors, even on overcast days.Brisbane's inner suburbs, a 5- to 10-minute drive or 15- to 20-minute walk from the city center, have a mix of intriguing eateries and quiet accommodations. Fortitude Valley combines Chinatown with a cosmopolitan mix of clubs, cafés, and boutiques. Spring Hill has several high-quality hotels, and Paddington, New Farm, Petrie Terrace, West End, and Woolloongabba are full of an eclectic mix of restaurants and bars. Brisbane is also a convenient base for trips to the Sunshine and Gold coasts, the mountainous hinterlands, and the Moreton Bay islands.
About Sydney, New South Wales
Sydney belongs to the exclusive club of cities that generate excitement. At the end of a marathon flight there's renewed vitality in the cabin as the plane circles the city, where thousands of yachts are suspended on the dark water and the sails of the Opera House glisten in the distance. Blessed with dazzling beaches and a sunny climate, Sydney is among the most beautiful cities on the planet.With 4.6 million people, Sydney is the biggest and most cosmopolitan city in Australia. A wave of immigration from the 1950s has seen the Anglo-Irish immigrants who made up the city's original population joined by Italians, Greeks, Turks, Lebanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thais, and Indonesians. This intermingling has created a cultural vibrancy and energy—and a culinary repertoire—that was missing only a generation ago.Sydneysiders embrace their harbor with a passion. Indented with numerous bays and beaches, Sydney Harbour is the presiding icon for the city, and urban Australia. Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the 11-ship First Fleet, wrote in his diary when he first set eyes on the harbor on January 26, 1788: "We had the satisfaction of finding the finest harbor in the world."Although a visit to Sydney is an essential part of an Australian experience, the city is no more representative of Australia than Los Angeles is of the United States. Sydney has joined the ranks of the great cities whose characters are essentially international. What Sydney offers is style, sophistication, and great looks—an exhilarating prelude to the continent at its back door.

Like her fellow Queens, our newest ship leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to cuisine. With even more choice, Queen Anne debuts some exciting new options in addition to our classic, much-loved restaurants.
Queen Anne offers more choice than ever before in cuisine and dining styles, from the ultimate in fine dining experiences to casual meals, light bites, spontaneous indulgent treats, and our signature Afternoon Tea. In addition to our much-loved restaurants from across the fleet, Queen Anne debuts a number of exciting new options. Feel free to dine as you wish with an array of flavours to choose from all over the ship, throughout the entire day.
As with all our ships, Queen Anne includes a dedicated restaurant corresponding to each accommodation category. Each of these serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and boast menus that showcase the finest authentic ingredients from all over the world.
Alternative dining
Your choice of authentic cuisine includes Mediterranean at Tramonto, whose menu features both familiar and perhaps unexpected dishes. Delight in the delicate and fragrant flavours of the East at Aji Wa, or enjoy tastes of India at Aranya, with dishes made using rich and aromatic spice blends.
When you’re in the mood for an indulgent steak and perfectly paired wine, choose Sir Samuel's, our flagship steakhouse and grill. You can also find a generous menu of pub classics at the Golden Lion, or choose from a range of healthy options at the Wellness Café.
Britannia
Our main restaurant invites you to dine on a wide range of dishes in effortless style and comfort.
With white-gloved waiters, linen-dressed tables, a sweeping staircase, and a balcony style mezzanine, the grandeur of the Britannia Restaurant provides an authentic sense of occasion. On Gala Evenings, the atmosphere is heightened further as guests are invited to dress in their finest evening wear.
The five course evening menu changes daily and features a tempting array of British and regional cuisine, from smoked salmon and spring lamb to Indonesian chicken and papaya salad.
The breakfast menu offers a variety of fresh juice, pastries and cereals as well as a full selection of hot favourites cooked to order. Lunch can be as simple or as extravagant as you like, with a four course menu of appetisers, salads and more substantial entrées like pasta classics or fragrant curries.
All meals here are included in your fare. When you book your voyage on a Cunard Fare, you'll be invited to select a dining option. Choose from our standard set times of Early or Late Dining, or enjoy the freedom to dine at your convenience with Open Dining, where you can make a reservation at a time that suits you.
If you choose Open Dining, there are two options once on board:
Visit the Britannia Restaurant in person to request a table, where you can choose to dine with your party or share a table with fellow guests. During peak times if your requested table size is not available, you will be offered a pager, so you can relax with a pre-dinner drink or perhaps take in some entertainment while you wait.
Alternatively, you can check availability via My Voyage, where you can book in advance or join a live virtual queue and keep track of how many people are ahead of you.
For breakfast and lunch, simply refer to your Daily Programme for opening times and visit the restaurant at your convenience.
During the day, the relaxed ambience of the Britannia Restaurant has a dress code to match, while after 6.00pm it’s smart attire, and dress to impress on our much-anticipated Gala evenings.
Gluten free and vegetarian dishes are available. If you have any food allergies or other dietary requirements, please inform us by phone after booking your voyage. Find out more about dietary requirements on board or browse our FAQs.

In the evening, you’ll be free to dine at any time between 6.30pm and 9.00pm, with a table reserved for you throughout your voyage. During the day, casual dress is welcomed, with smart attire (jacket optional) after 6.00pm, except on Gala Evenings when we invite you to dress in black tie.

You’ll be dining among your fellow Queens Grill guests, with a table reserved for your exclusive use throughout your voyage. There’s no need to book. Simply arrive whenever you’re ready and your table will be waiting. You may even choose to take your meal in your suite, should you wish.
Each day introduces a coveted line-up of à la carte dishes, complemented by an ‘always-available’ menu of appetisers, entrees, and desserts, executed with exemplary flair and finesse.
Alternatively, opt for one of our chef’s speciality sharing dishes (orderable in advance at breakfast or lunchtimes). From beef wellington to rack of lamb, the choice is truly indulgent.

Complimentary Room Service
Delicious, freshly prepared food delivered direct to your stateroom with our compliments.
Whether you’re craving a leisurely breakfast in bed, or you simply don’t feel like leaving your stateroom for dinner, make the most of our generous room service menu at least once during your voyage.
Starting the day gazing at the seascape from the comfort of your private balcony is only enhanced by ordering fresh coffee and your favourite breakfast. Or, after a busy day exploring in port, know that you have the option to simply shower, change, and stay in and order food. You can even call in the middle of the night if you’ve woken up feeling peckish, and we will happily oblige.
If you’re a Grills guest, you can also order from the full Princess Grill or Queens Grill menu.
Room service is included in your fare. Breakfast must be pre-ordered the night before, but you can expect food throughout the rest of the day to be delivered around 30-40 minutes after placing an order.

A breath of fresh air
From a morning swim as the sun climbs the sky or lazy lunches on deck, to a walk with a view or a film under a blanket of stars, Queen Anne’s pools, bars, al fresco eateries, and wide-open deck spaces connect you with the great outdoors like never before.
With a choice of inspiring outdoor destinations to discover, each with its own distinctive look and feel, spending time in the open air on Queen Anne provides plenty of moments to remember. Lose yourself in an unputdownable holiday read in the calming oasis of The Pavilion, savour elevated ocean views from the Sky Bar, or unwind to the sounds of a live band at the Panorama Pool Club.
In addition to these vibrant signature spaces, feel inspired by the feeling of walking on air with aft deck corners that extend out, offering a unique view of the ship and sea. Take in a full lap alongside the water’s edge on deck 3, find time to explore the wellness studio with top deck sea views – perfect for practising yoga at sea - and enjoy the Cabana bar for holiday cocktails and deck games. Meanwhile, the Grills Terrace, exclusive to guests of our Princess and Queens Grill Suites, is equipped with infinity hot tubs and luxurious deck facilities, offering the perfect outdoor retreat.

The Golden Lion pub
A friendly home-from-home in which to savour classic British pub fare.
With its sumptuous leather banquette seating, darts board, and occasional live sports, a visit to the Golden Lion offers all the charm, warmth, and authenticity of walking into a traditional British pub.
Dining at The Golden Lion is equally authentic, with a menu that showcases hearty and much-loved dishes enjoyed for generations throughout the UK and beyond. Food at the Golden Lion is included in your fare and alcohol is purchasable as priced.
The atmosphere at the Golden Lion is always relaxed and vibrant, with occasional live music and televised sports, complemented by lively pub quizzes and darts tournaments – an ideal way to meet new friends or put your skills to the test.
A casual dress code is observed all day long, although if you do wish to dress a little smarter in the evenings that’s perfectly fine too.
Swimming Pools
Indulge in a refreshing dip in one of the several pools and whirlpools on offer.
Whichever ship you decide on you can choose from a refreshing variety of pools and whirlpools - each heated to just the right temperature. Queen Mary 2 offers two outdoor pools and her Pavilion Pool has a retractable roof so you can enjoy a dip whatever the weather. In addition, there's the Minnows Pool for kids and her luxurious Spa Pool is a treat. Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth on the other hand offer 2 spacious outdoor pools as well as a hydrotherapy pool in their spas.
The Pavilion
This relaxed poolside bar is a Cunard staple on each of our ships: the perfect place to lie back in the sunshine with an ice-cold drink.
On leisurely sea days, there can be few better ways to pass the time than relaxing by the pool, with your choice of warming sun or soothing shade. Serving a full menu of wines, spirits, soft drinks, beers, and cocktails, all freshly made and hand-delivered to your sun lounger, the Pavilion bar is guaranteed to help you ease into the unique rhythm of a Cunard voyage, no matter where in the world you find yourself.
