An exclusive look at Queen Anne for our 183rd birthday

4 July 2023 is Cunard’s 183rd birthday! That’s 183 years of film premieres, celebrities and memories made on board Cunard ships. To mark the occasion, we’re unveiling a new image of Queen Anne that pays homage to Cunard’s rich history and iconic art deco style cutaway posters. 

This playful tip of the hat to the past 183 years of Cunard was sketched by Polish artist Dominik Bulka. Established favourite venues like the Golden Lion and brand-new Queen Anne exclusive spaces like the exciting Bright Lights Society show bar are featured in the new image, but there’s plenty of light-hearted references to Cunard’s history to discover too.  

Which famous faces can you spot?

Keep an eye out for iconic Cunard bellhops and our founder Sir Samuel Cunard, as well as a few famous faces.

Can you spot David Bowie dining with his alter ego in the Britannia Restaurant? Or Elizabeth Taylor taking the air on a stateroom balcony with a four-legged friend? How about Ed Sheeran tinkling the ivories in the Queen Room?

There’s even an affectionate reference to Jimmy the hippo, a very special Cunard guest who made his way from Naples to Chester Zoo on board a Cunard ship in 1963.
