Cunard’s Queen Anne Reaches A Construction Milestone

Cunard’s Queen Anne reached a construction milestone on Friday, April 14, 2023! The ship had her ‘funnel lift,’ an important shipbuilding moment that marks the installation of one of the ship’s most recognizable features, making her one step closer to her maiden voyage in May 2024!

“Cunard’s signature red and black funnel is a part of our heritage, and we are thrilled to see it installed on our newest ship,” said Matt Gleaves, VP of Commercial, Cunard, North America. “The funnel lift is a significant milestone in the building process, and we are now one step closer to welcoming Queen Anne into service.”
