Britain's newest cruise ship and one of the most luxurious afloat will visit Palma next year in her maiden cruise programme. The Queen Anne, of the legendary Cunard line is under construction at the moment. With a gross tonnage of 113,000, the ship will carry up to 3,000 passengers. The ship's maiden voyage is scheduled for May and she will be visiting Palma on June 17.
Queen Anne will have Cunard's first two-deck, 825-seat Royal Court Theatre inspired by the great theatres of the world, with sumptuous fittings and rich velvet seating. The ship will have 15 restaurants, including the main dining room Britannia Restaurant, which is on all the line's ships -- and the popular Golden Lion pub, which serves bar food. For the pub, Cunard has teamed up with Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux to revamp the Golden Lion menu. Roux is also developing a gala night menu for the Queens Grill.
She will be the fourth ship in the Cunard fleet. Her sister ship, Queen Elizabeth 2, will be visiting Palma later this month.

Lots of negatives to the comments made. I’d love to know what is the thinking of those who disagree. What? They’re a good thing? Despite a all the evidence to the contrary. Or are they the secret MDB cruise and yacht fetishists? Something’s up! Twonks ahoy!
Firstly - we're not interested in how many restaurants this monster has - people here won’t be able to use them. That said - 15 free restaurants for wristband wearing guests. And the politicians are still trying to tell us these cruise ship cattle people will be dinning out in Palma restaurants….. really???? I don’t think so. Folk in Palma only need to know one thing - what are the emissions- because they’ll just get to breathe them in! Nice.
A mega polluting monstrosity bringing the type of tourist who like floating all-inclusive fare and fodder. They swamp locations and spend very little. No class or style to this type of boat and it’s occupants. Yech! And Yes Stan, you are correct, they are inherently unstable as they are so top heavy. One day, one will go over.
Just an editorial note. The Queen Elizabeth 2 is moored up in Dubai as a floating hotel as I understand. Cunard new Queen Elizabeth will be a sister ship to the new Queen Anne.
These Ships must have large extending stabalisers under the water line. To prevent them from capsizing in bad storms. With 3000 people on Board, it will be crowded.
