As a cruise enthusiast, I’ve always been fascinated by the history and grandeur of the British monarchy. So when I heard about Cunard’s Royal Celebration, I knew I had to be a part of it.
This year marks the 65th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, and Cunard Line is pulling out all the stops to celebrate in style. With a series of special events across their fleet, passengers aboard the Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth will be transported back in time to witness this historic event.
From themed musical performances to a menu inspired by King Charles, every detail has been carefully crafted to create a truly immersive experience. As someone who loves the freedom of cruising, I can’t wait to step aboard and cruise into coronation history with Cunard.

Events and Activities
I was thrilled to learn that Cunard’s Coronation Celebration will feature a deck walk on May 8th to raise money for The Princes Trust, a charity that’s been partnered with Cunard Line for over 15 years.
This will be a great opportunity to not only enjoy a leisurely walk on deck, but also contribute to a worthy cause.
Aside from the deck walk, the event will also have a range of coronation themed entertainment. This includes quizzes, special themed musical performances, and a curated movie list related to royalty.
To make sure guests don’t miss out on the actual coronation ceremony, the ships will broadcast it live from Westminster Abbey in venues around the ships.
It’s going to be an exciting event filled with fun activities and memorable experiences.
