MS Queen Anne is a 2024-built Cunard flagship (113,000 GT, 2,996 passenger capacity), the sole ship in her Halifax subclass — an extended Pinnacle-class hull. Built by Fincantieri at Marghera, Italy and Bermuda-flagged. Named after Anne, Queen of Great Britain (r. 1702-1714), continuing Cunard's royal naming tradition. Her 2024 launch was Cunard's first newbuild in 14 years and Cunard's fourth-in-service vessel alongside Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth. Positioned squarely at the premium end of the 3,000-pax segment.
Cunard's crew culture prizes long tenure — many housekeeping ratings and deck-officers remain 20+ years, moving between the four Queens. Queen Anne is where the newest hires often start; the ship's 2024 launch batch enters the historic Cunard officer-training pipeline that dates to the 1840 Britannia. British Merchant Navy trainees regard a QA berth as a career flagship.
