IN an age of instant messages and DMs, Cunard is slowing things down and revive the timeless romance of letters written at sea.

The luxury cruise line has partnered with Letters Live to celebrate the tradition with a special event on 22 Jan at Queen Elizabeth Hall at South Bank in London.

The evening will see acclaimed performers bring to life a collection of correspondence inspired by travel, creativity, and the enduring art of writing.

Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said the collaboration “brings together two storytelling traditions, one on stage and one at sea, in a way that feels both timeless and profoundly moving”.
