Cunard, which is part of the Carnival Corporation & plc group, said it has had its busiest day of bookings ever as the line started to take reservations on a new ship.

Queen Anne that will enter service on 4 January 2024 triggered a strong inflow of bookings and the maiden voyage of the ship had already been sold out. 

The demand has been particularly strong for the top end of the range Grill Suites for the 10 voyages of the new ship that have been published so far, the company said in a statement.
