Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal will take centre stage in Cunard’s highly anticipated 185th anniversary celebrations in Liverpool on 27 May, honouring nearly two centuries of the iconic cruise line’s maritime legacy.
The festivities will begin a day earlier, on 26 May, with the arrival of Cunard’s newest ship, Queen Anne, on the River Mersey — almost exactly one year after her historic naming ceremony in Liverpool, the city proudly known as Cunard’s spiritual home.
Her Royal Highness will celebrate Cunard’s 185 years of maritime history, its enduring bond with Liverpool, and the leadership of Queen Anne’s Captains, Dave Hudson and Inger Thorhauge.
Following this, Cunard will officially open its 185th ‘Sea of Glamour’ exhibition at The Royal Liver Building, joined by Queen Anne’s Icons – five proud Liverpudlian women chosen to represent the city after Liverpool was named, in a world first, as Queen Anne’s Godparent.
