The award-winning show “Come From Away” is coming to the high seas.
In collaboration with Music Theatre International, Cunard will offer an exclusive production during Queen Elizabeth's maiden Caribbean voyage on October 16, 2025, just in time for the show’s 10th anniversary.
“Come From Away” will be performed in Queen Elizabeth’s Royal Court Theatre twice during each voyage, with matinee and evening performances available. This production has been specially designed for the stage at sea, featuring an ensemble of 12 performers.
“We are incredibly passionate about the power of timeless storytelling, and our long-standing affiliation with London's West End and Broadway in New York ensures that unparalleled entertainment is at the heart of the Cunard experience,” says Katie McAlister, president of Cunard. “Our 2026 Entertainment Residencies will build on this commitment, offering our guests unforgettable access to the very best live performances at sea.”
Written by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, “Come From Away” tells the story of the 6,579 air passengers who were grounded in a small Canadian town in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Even after 10 years, it's still incredible to see the impact this show has on people,” says John Brant, the show’s producer. “Now more than ever, we believe it's important to gather friends and family to see it together, with the hope that it inspires them to find common ground in their lives.”
