Cunard’s Queen Anne Arrives in Liverpool Ahead of Naming Ceremony

• June 3, 2024

Cunard’s newest ship, the Queen Anne, arrived in Liverpool ahead of its naming ceremony on June 3.  

Crowds gathered to greet Queen Anne’s arrival in Cunard’s birthplace (and the company’s headquarters for 128 years) while tens of thousands of people are expected to witness the ship’s naming ceremony. 

Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, said: “Queen Anne’s British Isles Festival voyage is celebrating the very best of Great Britain and Ireland and we are delighted that our newest ship has now arrived in Liverpool. This wonderful city is the spiritual home of Cunard, and we share such an incredible bond, so what better place to officially name our new ship than somewhere that holds so many special memories. We are all so excited for the city to see Queen Anne up close during what promises to be a very special celebration.” 

During her maiden season, the Queen Anne will sail from Southampton to explore the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, the Canary Islands and the Norwegian Fjords, visiting over 60 destinations in 16 countries.

Memories of Cunard's 'spiritual home' in Liverpool

P eople in Liverpool are sharing their memories of Cunard Line as the city is set to stage the naming ceremony for the cruise company's newest ship.

The Queen Anne will be named in Liverpool , where Cunard started its transatlantic route in 1840 and went on to take millions of passengers to North America.

Cunard has said the vessel will be named in Liverpool because it was its "spiritual home" despite moving its headquarters to Southampton in 1967.

The city has shared in Cunard's successes and tragedies and, for many families in Liverpool, its unique bond with the cruise firm still exists.

Canadian Samuel Cunard, who founded the company, won a contract with the British government to take mail across the Atlantic.

His first ship left Liverpool in 1840.

When the company embraced passengers the shipping line grew rapidly. Within 30 years it was employing 11,500 people and had amassed a fleet of 46 ships.

With its headquarters in Liverpool, it seemed everyone in the city either worked for or knew someone who worked for Cunard.

Stephanie Vass said her grandfather, Billy Harrison, worked on the cruise liners.

He and his shipmates were known as Cunard Yanks.

She said: "They sailed from Liverpool and they brought home the world, and they really did.

"My granddad and his friends would talk about bringing one of the first juke boxes back to Liverpool full of 45s - of records that nobody in Liverpool had ever heard before."

She said they also brought everything from "washing machines to movie recorders to clothes".

She added: "It must have been absolutely fantastic. People would've been waiting for them to dock and think, 'what have they brought me now'."

For Andy Steele, his family was hit by tragedy when the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat on 7 May 1915.

His great-grandfather, chief naval quartermaster Thomas Evans, was among 1,200 who were killed.

About half of those who died, as the Lusitania made her way from New York to Liverpool, were from Merseyside.

Mr Steele said: "My great-grandfather left the house we still live in back in April 1915 for what should have been three weeks but he never came back.

"My grandfather, who was only 12 when the Lusitania was torpedoed, developed a stutter at the time and he never really recovered from that until he died in his 80s."

He said his grandfather and mother would "tell him stories of Thomas Evans and his history, and of him and his wife living in the house we now live in".

Ian Murphy, head of the Maritime Museum, said: "People in Liverpool would have felt a really close connection to Cunard.

"The family connections of people who knew someone who worked on one of the ships would've been immediate," he said.

The sight of Cunard liners at the city's Pier Head were once "landmarks that have been very recognisable as a part of the Liverpool waterfront", he added.

The basement at the Cunard building, the company's headquarters before it moved to Southampton, has stood still in time.

The huge shelves where the luggage for passengers travelling to North America would have been stored remain, which Mr Murphy said showed the "sheer numbers of people who were travelling across the Atlantic at that time".

He said it gave "a sense of just how big an industry passenger travel was in Liverpool in the early 20th Century".

Organisers are expecting thousands of people to turn out for the official naming ceremony of its new £479m vessel, which can carry 3,000 passengers.

It will be hosted by Busted star Matt Willis and his TV presenter wife Emma Willis from 16:00 BST and feature a performance from Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli .
