Entertainment is also a big part of the Cunard experience. Expect to be inspired by the West End shows in the Royal Court Theatre or live performances by resident bands and jazz ensembles. Of course, it’s not just about the experience on board and Cunard offers carefully considered itineraries to unforgettable, delightful destinations. Across the world trips are a signature of Cunard's and with a wide range of cruises leaving from Australia you can discover your own backyard.
Expert Tip
Cunard Line has a long and storied history, dating as far back as its famous 1840s transatlantic crossings. While today there are much quicker ways to cross the Atlantic, there really is no finer way to do it than on board a Cunard vessel. The present day Queen Mary does this journey but the cruise line offers voyages in all corners of the globe, with many new maiden calls planned.
Voyages on board one of the three Queens have retained their timeless, sophisticated British style over the years, where no request is too much for the staff, and formal nights mean dress codes come into effect after 6pm.
Cunard itineraries offer a blend of iconic world-famous cities as well as unique, awe-inspiring destinations that allow for enriching days in port as well as plenty of time on board to explore your ship.
