Queen Anne

Long voyages from Sydney, fjords from Southampton

Queen Anne runs long one-way voyages from Sydney, Hong Kong and Valparaíso, and round trips from Southampton to the fjords, Madeira and nearby European ports. Closest to home, she leaves Sydney in February, the height of the Australian summer, on one-way voyages of 27, 48, 65 and 67 nights. These end in Cape Town, Hamburg or Southampton. Routes vary, but Brisbane, Airlie Beach, Hong Kong and Singapore are among her typical calls. If you live in Sydney, no flight is needed to board her. From another state, we book the domestic flight to Sydney. Because each voyage finishes overseas, we also book the international flight home from Cape Town, Hamburg or Southampton. You can find these voyages among our cruises from Sydney.

Her other long voyages begin overseas. In February and March she sails from Valparaíso to Southampton or Hamburg over 31 to 36 nights, passing through the Panama Canal. Callao, Fuerte Amador and Port Canaveral are typical stops. In March she leaves Hong Kong on 31- to 50-night passages to Cape Town, Southampton or Hamburg, and calls may include Ko Samui, Penang and Port Louis in Mauritius. In January, a Southampton round trip of 82 to 90 nights heads south, with Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and Valparaíso among the ports.

From May to September she runs 7-night fjord round trips from Southampton. Stops change between departures, but Olden, Stavanger and Haugesund are familiar ones. In November and December she sails 12- and 14-night round trips to Funchal, Tenerife and Lanzarote. She also runs round trips of 3 to 7 nights, and the 3- and 4-night ones might visit Rotterdam or Zeebrugge. Wherever she sails from, we book the flight, a night or two in Southampton or a hotel at her departure port, and the transfers on one booking with the cruise, so the sailing becomes part of a longer holiday. See her Southampton departures in 2027. She sails in the Cunard fleet alongside ships including Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria.

Dining from the Britannia Restaurant to Aranya

Queen Anne’s included dining centres on the Britannia Restaurant, a grand hall of chandeliers, polished wood and white linen. Its menu runs from seafood to grilled steaks. The Wellness Café is also included, with smoothies, salads and grain bowls you build around your choice of protein. Among her restaurants that carry a charge, each has a clear focus:

• Aranya gives classic Indian regional dishes a playful twist.
• Aji Wa pairs Japanese technique with contemporary ideas.
• Tramonto opens in the evening only, cooking simple dishes inspired by Sicily, Sardinia and Seville.

Ballroom nights, a pub and the Commodore Club

Evenings aboard revolve around dancing, a piano bar and a British pub. The Queens Room runs daytime workshops and evening dance sessions, and its live music is included in the fare. The Commodore Club is a piano bar with floor-to-ceiling windows and seven signature cocktails named after decorated Commodores, with drinks charged. The Golden Lion is her British-style tavern, pouring ales and whiskies alongside pub food, with live sports, karaoke and quiz nights. By day, Mareel Wellness & Beauty offers massages, scrubs and facials at a charge.

Queen Anne cabins and deck plans

Her suite enclave is The Grills, reserved for Princess and Queens Grill Suite guests. These guests keep their own table for the whole voyage in the Princess Grill or Queens Grill restaurants. They also share the Grill Suites Lounge, with tea and coffee included, and the Grill Suites Terrace with its two infinity hot tubs. To see where The Grills sit among her decks, open the Queen Anne cabins and deck plans.
