Cunard and Fincantieri celebrated as Queen Anne officially joined the Cunard fleet.

A handover ceremony took place in Italy at the Fincantieri Marghera shipyard for the 3,000-guest ship.

The event was attended by Italian Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, and Italian Minister for Relations with Parliament, Luca Ciriani.

Katie McAlister, President of Cunard and Paul Ludlow, President of Carnival UK were also present.

Queen Anne is the 249th ship to sail under the Cunard flag and the third built by Fincantieri.

Queen Anne sails an inaugural cruise from Southampton to Lisbon on 3 May.

The 114,000-ton ship has 14 decks with more choices of entertainment, dining and bars than ever before.

Cunard has previously announced a series of partnerships for Queen Anne, including Le Gavroche at Sea residencies hosted by chef Michel Roux, wellness packages curated by Harper’s Bazaar UK’s beauty experts and exclusive British Film Institute screenings in The Pavilion.

Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: “We are so excited to welcome Queen Anne to our fleet as she completes a remarkable quartet alongside Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth, and Queen Victoria.”

It marks the first time since 1999 that Cunard will have four ships in simultaneous service.

“We are now fully focused on readying her to welcome guests for her maiden voyage on 3 May before she embarks on an historic British Isles Festival Voyage.”
