Cunard has announced an exclusive partnership with two Michelin-starred chef, Michel Roux. The line has also revealed four new dining venues that will debut on the line’s new ship Queen Anne in May 2024.
Roux, who owns the famed London restaurant Le Gavroche, will work alongside Cunard's culinary development chefs to create an exclusive gala menu for the Queens Grill restaurant on the line's new ship Queen Anne, plus a new menu for Cunard's fleet-wide pub, the Golden Lion.
Currently in development, the new pub menu will feature a selection of guest favourites, reimagined by Roux. It will launch on board Queen Anne in May 2024, before being rolled out to the existing fleet later in the year.
"It is an absolute privilege to be working with Cunard's hugely talented and passionate culinary development chefs as we countdown to the launch of their newest ship Queen Anne,” said Roux.
“For me, there is no better recipe than blending high quality ingredients with elegant execution to create unforgettable experiences for diners, and I am incredibly excited to showcase our elevated, reimagined pub classics to Cunard guests very soon."
Four New Dining Options
Cunard also revealed four additional dining experiences that will be available on Queen Anne – Aji Wa, Aranya, Sir Samuels, and Tramonto – offering guests more choice than ever before.
Three of these original venues aboard the luxury cruise line's newest ship will be alternative evening dining options, available as a supplement, complementing the inclusive fare options offered for lunch or dinner in Tramonto and the Golden Lion pub.

In another new taste direction for Cunard, Aranya will take guests on a journey through the rich spice flavours of India . Cunard promises a multi-sensory experience, from the vibrancy of the flavours to the luxurious interiors which include floor-to-ceiling windows for magnificent views while dining.
The epitome of a high-end steakhouse, Sir Samuels will showcase the best of British and Australian beef and seafood, complemented by an extensive wine program. Alongside a vast array of beef options, there will also be a wide range of fish and seafood dishes.
Tramonto will transport guests to the shores of the Mediterranean, with a menu full of fresh flavours and an opportunity for guests to dine alfresco while watching the sun set on a warm summer evening.
Guests will also have exclusive use of dining appropriate to their stateroom type, from the grand two-tiered Britannia restaurant, the largest Britannia Club restaurant in the fleet, to the opulent settings of the Princess Grill and Queens Grill Restaurants.
"We're excited to share a flavour of what will be served on board Queen Anne in 2024," said Matt Gleaves, VP, Commercial, Cunard North America.
