The 3,000-passenger ship will be based in Southampton during its debut season, which starts in early May 2024.
Speaking during an immersive dining experience onboard Queen Victoria in Southampton on Monday (11 December), Cunard’s UK sales director Tom Mahoney revealed “Cunard loyalists” were making multiple bookings at any one time.
“For next year, the ex-UK programme is our best-sold programme because Queen Anne is operating here in the summer,” said Mahoney.
“Our bookings in 2023 have been driven by Queen Anne, but our constant capacity has kept up. In other words, more guests have booked the existing ships than at this point last year.
