Design details of Cunard Line's newest cruiseship, Queen Anne have been revealed with the newbuild set to join the cruise company's fleet in 2024.
Creative director Adam D. Tihany will collaborate with David Collins Studio, Richmond International and Sybille de Margerie for the interior design of the new ship. It is the first time that David Collins Studio and Sybille de Margerie have worked onboard a ship following extensive land-based work.
The concept of the design will be based on five ideals: heritage, craftmanship, storytelling, style and innovation. The design teams explored the Cunard archives at the University of Liverpool in the UK to find historical documents that detailed layouts, materials and patterns from past Cunard ships, including its early art deco-inspired vessels.
“Just the way a world-renowned orchestra delivers a feeling, or takes you to a moment or an era, Queen Anne’s aesthetic will do the same in hearkening back to Cunard’s gilded age, but through the bold, onward lens of modernity,” said Tihany.
The ship’s Queen Grill Grand Suites have been designed by David Collins Studio, with a specific finish curated for each separate room. Each will have a dedicated dining room and adjacent butler’s pantry, walk-in wardrobes, marble-finished bathrooms with sea views, and the largest balconies onboard.
