Cunard Previews New Dining Venues Aboard Queen Anne

Cunard’s upcoming ship Queen Anne will feature four new dining venues when she debuts in 2024.

British luxury line Cunard has revealed four brand-new dining experiences that will be available aboard Queen Anne, the new ship setting sail in May 2024. With the addition of new restaurants Aji Wa, Aranya, Sir Samuels, and Tramonto, guests will have more choices than ever before.

Three of these unique locations on the cruise line’s newest ship will offer for-a-fee evening meal choices, joining the inclusive fare options available in the main dining rooms, Tramonto, and the Golden Lion pub.

Aranya’s Indian cuisine on Queen Anne

Aranya, another new Cunard culinary approach, will take passengers on a voyage through the rich spice sensations of India, with expertly-crafted menus.
