Cunard’s Queen Anne will now transition to suit out of its interiors.
Carnival Corporation’s tradition-steeped U.Okay. luxurious cruise model Cunard celebrated a serious milestone yesterday with the float out of its latest ship, Queen Anne, on the Fincantieri Marghera shipyard in Venice, Italy.
The 249th ship to sail beneath the Cunard flag, Queen Anne formally touched water for the primary time precisely twelve months earlier than she is scheduled to set sail on her maiden voyage to Lisbon on May 3, 2024.
Based on the Holland America Line Pinnacle-class platform, the 14-deck cruise ship measures 322.51 meters (1,058.1 toes) lengthy by 35.60 meters (116.8 toes) beam and can carry as much as 3,000 passengers.
The float out completes the primary complete section of development the brand new Cunarder which now transitions to concentrate on constructing the ship’s luxurious interiors.
Carnival UK president Sture Myrmell mentioned: “We are delighted to celebrate this important milestone in the construction of Queen Anne. The float out ceremony marks the ship’s transition from her building dock to where she truly belongs – in the water. Today marks a significant moment for Queen Anne as we recognize the dedication by the master ship builders at Fincantieri to build a ship that reinforces our position as a world-famous luxury brand.”
Luigi Matarazzo, General Manager Merchant Ships Division of Fincantieri, said: “Queen Anne is the third ship we have the pleasure to build for Cunard, a pillar in the history of British seafaring, with whom we share a real commitment to excellence. Building a liner for this shipowner takes us back to our roots yet, at the same time, spurs us forward to the future in a spirit of determination to bring together tradition and innovation and further strengthen our longstanding relationship.”
Queen Anne will take the Cunard fleet to 4 ships, becoming a member of the Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth.
