This new cruise ship’s suites take luxury at sea to new heights

Cruise line Cunard has long been a leader in luxury across its ocean fleet. And now its unrivalled Grill Suites experience takes things up another notch on board Queen Anne

Since 1840, when Cunard made its first Transatlantic Crossing, this cruise line has set the pulse when it comes to luxury cruising. Today, the British cruise line’s fleet of four award-winning ships – Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Anne – takes guests to some of the most stunning corners of the globe, from popular to exotic destinations, opening the world to cruisers in serious style.

All of Cunard’s four Queens are the epitome of opulence, each with two main stateroom types: Britannia Staterooms and Grill Suites. Regardless of which you choose, you’re guaranteed exceptional amenities, dining and service. But the Grill Suites take things to the next level.

Next-level luxury: Cunard’s Grill Suites

The concept of Cunard’s Grill Suites has a long history, dating back to 1914 when Sir Samuel Cunard had the vision to create the ultimate luxury in ocean travel. Today they have been reinvented with the insights of historian Chris Frame, who takes inspiration from the glamour of yesteryear while adding modern comforts and conveniences.   

Think of Grill Suites as an opulent and exclusive cocoon within an already luxurious ship – a private place with sumptuous accommodation, enhanced dining options and truly personalised service. And within this enviable cocoon, there are two sublime choices: Princess Grill Suites and Queens Grill Suites, the latter the pinnacle of indulgence. You’ll notice the difference before you even step on board the ship, thanks to priority embarkation (and disembarkation).

Guests stepping on board and into a Princess Grill Suite can look forward to accommodations that feature a spacious lounge area, sumptuous beds replete with a pillow menu, private balcony, and ensuite bathroom with both a bath and shower, plus Penhaligon’s amenities – sparkling wine and chocolates await your arrival.

Additional touches include a table reserved just for you in the exclusive Princess Grill restaurant – only accessible to those in this category of suite – where you can enjoy the finest meals prepared by world-class chefs, as well as an elevated Afternoon Tea. If you can’t bear to tear yourself away from your room, you can order from the Princess Grill menu and have the finest of food delivered to your door. There are additional spaces that only you can access, including the Grills Lounge and outdoor Grills Terrace.

Queens Grill guests can enjoy all these luxuries, and so much more. Pop the cork of a bottle of Champagne to celebrate your upcoming journey, and rest assured that your complimentary minibar is stocked with wine and spirits of your choice. Enjoy pre-dinner canapes daily, delivered by your butler, and then dine at a reserved table in the exclusive Queens Grill restaurant. When it comes time to explore, you’re also whisked to shore in priority tenders, with your destination’s adventures personalised by a dedicated concierge team.

Fine dining, Grill Suites’ style

While Grill Suite guests can, of course, make the most of their ship’s other enticing restaurants and bars, the Queens Grill restaurant and Princess Grill restaurant ensure you have a private and reserved space to indulge.

Every meal served takes inspiration from the world’s finest restaurants, and dining in either space from breakfast through dinner feels like a special occasion. You might have the choice of ordering white sturgeon caviar on blinis, or a 28-day aged T-bone steak. The cheese trolly is an added indulgence. Then retire to the atmospheric Grills Lounge for a nightcap.

Added luxury on board Queen Anne

The newest ship in the Cunard portfolio is Queen Anne, made her maiden voyage in May 2024. And boy, is she a stunner. Her interiors take inspiration from the company’s esteemed history, but inject an eye-catching contemporary flair inspired by the world’s most luxurious hotels. And she takes the Grill Suite experience to new heights with a number of delights exclusive to the ship, including an expanded Grills Terrace, which comes with two infinity whirlpools. You’ll want to spend a lot of time here, appreciating the beauty of Queen Anne.
