2024 is Queen Anne’s first year in service, set to make dozens of maiden calls to ports and countries around the world. When a ship calls into port for the first time, it's a very special occasion, for locals and travellers alike. It's not uncommon to see people gathering portside to welcome the ship in. On a Queen Anne voyage relax at the Mareel Spa, enjoy a signature Afternoon Tea, or marvel at the Grand Lobby. The Royal Court Theatre aboard Queen Anne offers award-winning theatre that has been specially adapted for the ocean stage, captivating headline performers, acclaimed insightful speakers, and screenings of feature-length films available to keep its passengers entertained.
Similarly, the Queen Mary 2 offers a spacious and luxurious layout, with many features on board designed to relax or excite, including live entertainment, a trip to the spa or reading in the library. Queen Mary 2 hosts live entertainment acts such as cabaret artistes, theatrical productions, and ballroom and Latin dancing. Another feature of Queen Mary 2 is Illuminations, the largest planetarium at sea. Illuminations also doubles as a 3D cinema and classical music venue. The planetarium dome sends passengers on a voyage across the solar system, navigating the stars, or shows other science and natural history films, with up to four screenings on each sea day. With the dome retracted, Illuminations hosts 3D films and stunning concerts and recitals. For the adults, there is a Gala Evening at least once on every voyage of three nights or more, with the dress code revealed prior to sailing in order to pack accordingly. On these nights the ship is decorated, with signature dining menus and specialty cocktails. There is a complimentary drink awaiting at dinner, and musicians entertaining its guests long into the night.
