Cunard reveals 2024 Event Voyages programme

The upcoming voyages invite big names across gastronomy, art and entertainment on board Cunards flagship: Queen Mary 2. 

Cunard is setting sail with industry leaders for its 2024 Event Voyages, with its flagship hosting four of the seven newly-launched themed voyages across the Atlantic.

The remaining three voyages take place aboard Queen Elizabeth, navigating Australia and Japan in early 2024. 

Returning after popular demand in June 2024 is 'London Theatre at Sea', an eight-night transatlantic voyage in partnership with the Olivier Awards. The crossing offers immersive acting workshops, behind-the-scenes insights and award-winning performances. 

November 2024 sees the return of the 'Literature Festival at Sea', inviting book lovers to turn a page with seven days of literary events curated by the programme team of The Times and The Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival. More than 20 acclaimed authors will head on board with guests. 

2024 marks two key milestones: Queen Mary 2's 400th transatlantic crossing, and the 15th anniversary of Cunard's National Symphony Orchestra voyages. 

Queen Elizabeth is hosting the inaugural 'Sporting Greats & Wellness Voyage' in January 2024, featuring cricketer Brett Lee and golfer Karrie Webb.

The subsequent 'Great Australian Culinary Voyage' offers a foray into the world of food and wine, with special guest Karen Martini taking over The Steakhouse at The Verandah. 

May's 'Big Band Ball' voyage will host dance and music lovers in celebration of the Swing era, exploring the ports of Japan. 

Angus Struthers, acting senior vice president, Cunard, said: "Cunard’s Event Voyages offer far more than just stand out performances.  Each is expertly curated to offer our guests unique opportunities to immerse themselves into theme or occasion, meeting and hearing from world-renowned leaders in their fields, many with interactive workshops and a programme of activities and performances to choose from throughout the day and evening.  

"Of course, all offered with the luxurious backdrops of the Cunard Queens and all while enjoying the signature touches you can always look forward to with Cunard."
