Because too much of a good thing is even better, take the world's most luxurious ocean liner experience to the highest level with Cunard Grills: an enclave of indulgence and a sanctuary of private space and some of the most exquisite dining at sea and the height of White Star Service: your own butler. Imagine that.
If you notice the service, it is not Cunard service. From the moment you step on board you will feel like royalty, served by some of the highest trained crew members at sea who always go above and beyond your expectations. Classic courtesies. Their world-famous White Star Service is noticeable in the warmth of a genuine smile that welcomes you, the immaculate, white-gloved hand that serves you, and the anticipatory support that is always there to assist you. Discretion and perfection.
To ensure your time on board is as effortlessly enjoyable as possible, Cunard believes in doing things the right way. Whatever you need, they delight in providing it. Their immaculate crew members maintain meticulous attention to detail and attend discretely to your every need. Setting the standards. Cunard's White Star Service is rooted in their long maritime heritage and recalls the golden age of travel, yet with a modern twist. A timeless tradition their staff continue to honour by treating you to the highest standards at sea today.
We love our British heritage, and so do Cunard guests. And what, after all, could be more British than afternoon tea? So British, in fact, that it was started by the 7th Duchess of Bedford in the 1840s to provide a break between luncheon and dinner. This is a tradition Cunard observe each day at precisely 3.00 pm, just as the Duchess would have wanted. Allow their white-gloved waiters to serve you the perfect tea in the Queen's Room, along with fresh scones with cream and exquisitely cut finger sandwiches. Just one of the many experiences, we hope you agree, that Cunard ensures are “just as they should be”.
Wherever you are in the world, on Cunard, you are always close to a West End quality show. You will find the Royal Court Theatres on each of their ships. And on Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria, you can book one of the first-ever private boxes at sea. Treat yourself, your partner, family or friends to a wonderful night out in impressive surroundings. Choose from a repertoire that runs from light-hearted comedy to Shakespeare classics and from spectacular musical productions to serious drama. If you find that their shows have given you the acting bug, too, you can even request personal tuition from their RADA-trained actors whilst on board.
All of the team at Sovereign have cruised on Cunard, many of us on a number of occasions, so we can provide you with the most extensive insider knowledge of this iconic 180-year-old brand (we are not keen on the current overuse of the term “Iconic”, but Cunard richly deserves this accolade).
Who better to ask about our view of Cunard, than Stefan? Stefan comments, “There is something very special about all Cunard ships - it's like they have a soul that resonates with all the rich heritage and history of a world-famous luxury brand that has been around for more than 180 years. But it is more than that, travelling the globe on a Cunard liner just feels special and it is a forward-looking brand that is busy defining British luxury ocean travel for the 21st Century.”
We are very pleased with this wonderful endorsement from David Jones, Cunard Vice President UK Sales & Marketing; “All at The Sovereign Cruise Club have a fantastic knowledge of and passion for the Cunard brand and life aboard our ships and what makes a holiday on one of the Queens so special. It was therefore our delight to name The Sovereign Cruise Club the winners of Cunard‘s ’Outstanding Contribution' Award at the 2020 UK Cruise Awards”
Never one to rest on its laurels, in May 2024, Queen Anne became the 249th ship to join the Cunard fleet- find out more about her in the video below.
