CUNARD Line is celebrating 100 years of photography on the ocean, and is calling on guests to share their magical moments for its centennial ‘Sea Views’ exhibition.
British photographer Mary McCartney will curate 100 years of photographs for Cunard’s new exhibition, which will be made up of guest images and never-before-seen shots from the cruise line’s archives.
Sea Views will mark two centenaries – 100 years since Cunard was the first cruise line to introduce onboard photographers, and a century since its first round-the-world voyage aboard Laconia.
With previous guests including icons such as Cary Grant (pictured aboard Queen Mary) and Elizabeth Taylor (pictured inset aboard Queen Mary), the line will be opening up their archives to select photographs that showcase the “glamour, grandeur, and timeless style for which Cunard has become famous”.
Sian Wilks, the cruise line’s Archivist at the University of Liverpool Library, said: “with over 14,000 images stored in the Cunard archives in Liverpool – the founding home port of Cunard Line – we have a wealth of memories from the 1920s to present day to choose from”.

Images must be submitted by 05 Feb.
Sea Views will go live later this year, and more information will soon be shared on the web page linked above.
“We’re extremely proud of Cunard’s 183-year history and particularly the fact we pioneered the round-the-world voyage 100 years ago,” President Sture Myrmell said.
