| Cunard’s ’24 events lineup

CUNARD Line has launched its Events Voyages program for next year, which will set sail with some of the greatest talents in gastronomy, art, and entertainment.

Flagship Queen Mary 2 plays host to four of the seven newly launched themed voyages, with others to take place on Queen Elizabeth, as she navigates Australia and Japan in early 2024 – highlighted by the already announced Sporting Greats & Wellness Voyage in Jan (CW 04 Jul).

Back by popular demand in Jun is “London Theatre at Sea”, an eight-night Eastbound Transatlantic Crossing of musical theatre in partnership with Cunrad partner the Olivier Awards, which recognise excellence in London’s professional theatre scene.

This unique crossing features immersive acting workshops, fascinating behind-the-scenes talks, and performances curated by Society of London Theatre Chief Executive Julian Bird.

Also returning in Nov 2024 is “Literature Festival at Sea”, where book lovers can absorb themselves in seven days of inspiring literary events on this westbound Transatlantic Crossing, curated by Cunard partner, The Times of London Cheltenham Literature Festival.

Each Literature Festival at Sea features more than 20 acclaimed authors, with past headliners including Ian Rankin, Victoria Hislop, and Simon Armitage.

New for next year is a unique opportunity to celebrate history in the making, as Queen Mary 2 embarks on her 400th Transatlantic Crossing in Aug from New York City to Southampton.

Next year also marks the 15th anniversary of Cunard’s spectacular National Symphony Orchestra voyages, brought to you by eminent conductor Anthony Inglis.

Guests will be able to rehearse with the choir by day and enjoy classical concerts in the Royal Court Theatre by night, on board this unique nine-night Eastbound Transatlantic crossing via Newport and Boston in Oct 2024.
