As the countdown to Queen Anne's maiden voyage ticks away, Cunard has lifted the veil on a thrilling array of new deck games set to debut aboard its latest luxury liner. With a rich tradition of deck games that spans over a century, Cunard's latest offerings promise to blend this cherished heritage with modern innovation through an exciting partnership with Pickleball England.
Pickleball Takes to the Seas
Elevating the on-board experience to new heights, Queen Anne is proud to feature its very own state-of-the-art Pickleball court atop its deck. This sport, a hybrid of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, has surged in popularity across the UK and North America. It appeals to a wide audience, offering singles and pairs the chance to engage in spirited competition outdoors or indoors. This move by Cunard, in collaboration with the English governing body of the sport, marks a pioneering step in maritime leisure activities.
Archery Aboard Queen Anne
In an equally thrilling development, Queen Anne will distinguish itself as the only cruise ship where guests can hone their archery skills with real bows and arrows. This initiative comes through a partnership with Archery GB, connecting guests with Olympic-level athletes and coaches. With onboard instructors accredited by Archery GB, the ship is set to become an official activity center for the sport, offering guests comprehensive in-person coaching, competitive play, and a social gateway into archery.
A Haven for Deck Game Enthusiasts
The Sky Bar and Observation Deck, nestled at the forward of the ship on deck 14, emerges as a sanctuary for deck game aficionados. This versatile venue not only provides stunning, uninhibited views but also hosts a range of activities for guests. Golf enthusiasts will find solace in the putting green and fully equipped driving range, offering a unique opportunity to practice their swing against the backdrop of the open sea or picturesque ports.
Moreover, the Observation Deck and Sky Bar will house the traditional deck quoits and shuffleboard courts, allowing guests to engage in friendly competition while soaking in breathtaking views.
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, reflects on the significance of these additions, stating, "Whether it's pickleball, archery, or our world-class shows and lectures, Cunard is dedicated to offering a diverse array of activities to suit every mood and interest. Our onboard entertainment is a fundamental aspect of the Cunard experience, and we are excited for Queen Anne to continue this legacy."
