The Grill Suites Experience on Queen Anne
"As I stepped aboard the Queen Anne, Cunard’s newest addition to its fleet, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. I had read about the ship’s Grill Suites - Cunard’s pinnacle of luxury - but nothing could have prepared me for the experience that awaited. From the moment I was greeted with a warm smile at embarkation, it felt like I was stepping into a world where every detail had been designed with indulgence in mind."
The Suite Life
"The suites are nothing short of breath-taking. A spacious haven with floor-to-ceiling windows leading to a private balcony, it felt more like a luxurious apartment at sea than a traditional cruise cabin. The décor was an elegant blend of classic Cunard heritage and modern sophistication, polished wood, plush furnishings, and the perfect pops of colour. There was a king-sized bed dressed in Egyptian cotton linens, a seating area where you could enjoy morning coffee, a walk-in wardrobe and a marble bathroom with both a bathtub and walk-in shower not forgetting the personalised scent library. Each suite caters meticulously to the needs of the modern traveller with every type of socket imaginable for their convenience.
I couldn’t help but marvel at the little details: fresh flowers, a chilled bottle of Champagne waiting on the table not forgetting the personalised stationary. Queens Grill enjoy the luxury of a butler service, to take care of every need. From unpacking your luggage to arranging in-suite dining, a quiet, attentive presence throughout your journey. "
Dining in Style
"One of the biggest perks of staying in a Grill Suite is exclusive access to the Grill restaurants. As a Grills guest, you have your own table in an intimate dining room where the service was as impeccable as the cuisine. Every meal feels like an event. The menus are changed daily, showcasing everything from perfectly seared Dover sole to rich, melt-in-your-mouth Beef Wellington. The wine list was extensive, and the sommelier’s recommendations will always hit the mark."
Exclusive Spaces
"Beyond the suite and dining, the Grill Suites come with access to private areas that make you feel like you have the ship to yourself. The exclusive sun deck was a quiet oasis where you can spend afternoons lounging with a book, sipping cocktails from the nearby bar. It is a peaceful escape from the more bustling parts of the ship.
The Concierge Lounge was another highlight—a stylish, serene space where you can drop in at any time to arrange excursions, ask questions, or simply enjoy a cappuccino. The staff there were always warm and helpful, making you feel like a VIP."
Unforgettable Luxury
"The essence of the Grill Suites on Queen Anne is that every moment is elevated, every detail considered, and every experience tailored to make you feel special. It was clear to me that Cunard had mastered the art of luxury.
As the day came to an end, I knew this wasn’t just a ship visit - it was an experience that would stay with me long after I left. For anyone considering the Grill Suites on Queen Anne, let me just say this: treat yourself. You won’t regret it."
