Cunard Introduces Innovative Deck Games and Activities on the New Queen Anne
As the countdown to Queen Anne’s maiden voyage dips below 50 days, Cunard has unveiled an exciting array of deck games and daytime activities that will be available aboard its latest addition to the fleet. In a nod to its century-long tradition of celebrating deck games, Cunard is enhancing the onboard experience with the introduction of new sports and partnerships, including an exclusive collaboration with Pickleball England, bringing one of the UK and North America’s fastest-growing sports to the seas.
The innovative partnership introduces a state-of-the-art Pickleball court atop Queen Anne’s deck, offering guests a unique blend of tennis, badminton, and table tennis in a game that’s rapidly gaining popularity across the globe. In addition, Cunard is making maritime history by becoming the only cruise ship to offer archery onboard through a new partnership with Archery GB. This collaboration brings world-class athletes and Olympic coaching onboard, allowing guests to learn archery from accredited instructors in an official Archery GB activity center.
The Sky Bar and Observation Deck on deck 14, positioned at the ship’s forward, emerge as the ultimate gathering spot for deck game aficionados. This multi-purpose venue not only offers panoramic sea views but also houses a putting green, a fully equipped driving range for golf enthusiasts, and traditional games like deck quoits and shuffleboard. This diverse range of activities ensures that there’s something for everyone, whether they’re looking to engage in friendly competition or simply enjoy the stunning scenery.
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, emphasizes the brand’s commitment to providing a rich variety of onboard activities. “From pickleball and archery to our world-class shows and lectures, we strive to offer a wide selection of options for our guests, regardless of their interests or mood. Entertainment and activities are at the core of the Cunard experience, and we are excited for Queen Anne to continue this legacy.”
Cunard’s Queen Anne is setting a new standard for luxury cruising, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy novel sports and leisure activities at sea. With its unique partnerships and commitment to providing an exceptional range of options, Queen Anne is poised to offer a truly unparalleled cruise experience.
