Newcomer To The Cunard Fleet
Newcomer To The Cunard FleetIt will also be the perfect setting for Cunard's Supper Club, which will offer music, dancing and food tasting menus. With its high, arched glass dome, it will provide a splendidly airy space for relaxation. The Garden Lounge was inspired by Kew Gardens in London.
On deck ten Cunard have created a reminder of the old QE2 days - the Yacht Club bar, which they are sure will just as popular with passengers as was the original. As well as the usual excellent eateries that passengers have come to expect on Cunard cruises, there are some new innovations. Overall the cabins have been designed to provide a little more storage space (a must for long cruise holidays ) and more shelf room in the bathrooms. The new ship will have 1,046 cabins, 85% of which are outside, with a high proportion of private balconies.
The rest of the design throughout the ship is retro, a nostalgic link to the great Queens of the past. Viscount Linley, a respected designer of fine furniture, was awarded the commission and he has produced a stunning masterpiece that spans two and a half decks and will be a breathtaking welcome to passengers as they explore the ship. The original Queen Elizabeth, an icon in maritime history, will be featured in a specially commissioned 5-metre marquetry panel using a variety of nine different natural wood veneers. The huge dimensions of the Grand Lobby and dramatically curved stairway presented special design problems that were solved after much thought and consultation.
