Greece And Turkey, 7 Nights

Discover new ways to learn and grow with the remarkable guest speakers and classes we host on board.

During your voyage, you may be joined by some famous faces with fascinating stories to share - perhaps a famous writer, actor or musician or possibly an eminent scientist, explorer or politician. Join one of our Cunard Insights talks to be entertained and informed by thought provoking stories, occasionally in intimate settings. You can even improve your iPad and computer skills with our i-Study Enrichment Programme.

Our renowned dance classes will help you to hone your moves, whatever your standard.

Whether you're an absolute beginner or simply keen to perfect your steps you'll love the opportunity to join the variety of dance classes on offer. Available on voyages of 7 nights or more, classes are lead by coupled instructors and include ballroom as well as Latin and line dance. And when evening falls, what better way to showcase your new moves than in the chandeliered grandeur of the Queens Room?

Express yourself with our activities for art lovers or purchase a special piece to enjoy at home.

When you experience the freedom of being at sea you'll soon realise it's the perfect time to indulge in the joys of art. You can join a range of activities including watercolour classes, talks, seminars and discussions lead by well known artists and art historians. Take time to browse the eclectic portfolio on display in the Clarendon Fine Art Gallery and choose a new addition to your collection at home. Watercolour classes are available on all cruises that have full sea days.

Wherever on earth our flagship carries you, set off on an adventure through the stars.

You know you’re on a special ship indeed when you can settle into your comfortable seat in the largest planetarium at sea. More than this, Illuminations is a luxury 3D cinema and a classical music venue. The planetarium dome can send you on an epic voyage across the solar system, teach you to navigate by the stars, or show other science and natural history films, with up to four screenings on each sea day. With the dome retracted, Illuminations hosts 3D films and stunning concerts and recitals.

Succumb to the charms of this magical, light-filled bar, with its scintillating views from the bow of your ship.

Inspired by legendary Cunard Commodores who have expertly captained our fleet over the years, this charming bar offers an ideal setting in which to enjoy an early-evening aperitif or an after-dinner nightcap.

Savour the sweeping views across the horizon as you sip on a cocktail, a classic fine wine, or a premium aged whisky, prepared with signature flair and served at your table.

Visiting at golden hour brings the promise of vibrant orange and pink-streaked sky as the sun sets over the ocean - arrive early to secure a window-side table - while clear nights may reveal a star or two glimmering in the distance.

Those stopping in before dinner will be treated to a complimentary selection of canapés with their drink; just one of many little surprises you’ll experience throughout your ship, while evenings come alive against the soothing sounds of a live pianist.

The pièce de resistance, however, is the collection of cocktails inspired by seven of our most decorated Commodores; each with its own intriguing backstory.

From the quintessential British notes of Land of Hop & Glory, inspired by Commodore Sir Cyril Illingworth, to the Commodore’s Cure, a tribute to Commodore Sir James Bisset, these unique concoctions are as legendary as the men they serve to honour.

A friendly home-from-home in which to savour classic British pub fare.

With its sumptuous leather banquette seating, darts board, and occasional live sports, a visit to the Golden Lion offers all the charm, warmth, and authenticity of walking into a traditional British pub.

Dining at The Golden Lion is equally authentic, with a menu that showcases hearty and much-loved dishes enjoyed for generations throughout the UK and beyond. Food at the Golden Lion is included in your fare and alcohol is purchasable as priced.

The atmosphere at the Golden Lion is always relaxed and vibrant, with occasional live music and televised sports, complemented by lively pub quizzes and darts tournaments – an ideal way to meet new friends or put your skills to the test.

A casual dress code is observed all day long, although if you do wish to dress a little smarter in the evenings that’s perfectly fine too.

Join us in our Monte-Carlo inspired Casino where you’ll find a winning combination of elegance and excitement.

During the day meet our expert croupiers and take the chance to learn the rules and sharpen your game.

As night falls the casino comes alive. From first flutters to high-rollers, there’s something for everyone. Unleash your daring side with our wide selection of slots and tables or simply soak in the atmosphere whilst sipping on a Cunard Martini – the choice is yours. 

Embrace the sense of occasion with every sip at this grand bar and ballroom.

With its sweeping dancefloor, double-height ceiling, and glittering chandeliers, a visit to the Queens Room can’t fail to evoke the timeless romance of ocean travel.

Guests who sail with Cunard frequently have come to regard it as the social hub of the ship, and on Gala Evenings especially this elegant bar and ballroom offers a truly magical setting in which to be swept away in the spirit of the occasion.

It’s also where we serve our signature Afternoon Tea at 3:30pm each day. Just follow the soothing tones of the string quartet and the unmistakable scent of our chefs’ freshly baked scones. Then there’s the chance to brush up on your dancing or learn a new skill. From fencing to Argentine Tango, the Queens Room sets the stage for all kinds of activities.

It’s at night however that this elegant ballroom truly comes alive; no more so than on Gala Evenings (our famed black tie nights) when a live orchestra fills the air with music as guests take to the dancefloor in their finest eveningwear. Drink in the atmosphere from your table with a glass of champagne, or a speciality cocktail, and savour the chance to step out in style for one special night of indulgent celebration.

Be tempted by the classic allure and impressive drinks range of this refined cocktail bar.

You'll appreciate on your holiday that there's a bar to suit every occasion and when you require somewhere especially refined you'll love the allure of this classic venue. Through charts and cartography, the elegant menu pairs classic drinks with light canapés and snacks – and delectable Godiva chocolates.

Sample the flavours of signature specials drawing inspiration from destinations on your voyage, and when evening falls be tempted by the unique character of our 20 Zodiac themed cocktails.

Join us here by day for a range of inspiring activities or as night falls for music and dancing.

Blessed with exceptional views, the Yacht Club on Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth hosts many entertaining events. Join us here by day and return later to dance under the glow of the evening stars. As evening approaches, jazz fans in particular may find themselves here as the Yacht Club transitions into a lively pre- and post-dinner venue with superb live jazz. Later that evening those who love to party will relish the fact that the resident DJ and dance band play late into the night.

You'll find this airy lounge is flooded with daylight and is always relaxing at any time of day.

On board Queen Victoria, close to the pool and Lido buffet, this is the place to experience a more informal atmosphere until late in the evening. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow sweeping views from this comfortable and relaxing venue.

Take inspiration whilst on holiday and immerse yourself in the largest book collections at sea.

For many, a good read is an essential part of a relaxing holiday and there's no better time to indulge this passion than whilst on board with us. You'll find the range of titles available in our beautiful libraries is as impressive as the refined surroundings.

So, find yourself a good book, pull up a leather armchair and enjoy some quiet contemplation. You may even wish to join the Cunard Book Club where thought provoking literary discussions with fellow guests are led by the ship's librarian.

Experience the thrill of a vibrant music and dance extravaganza in our full sized theatres.

You'll find our elegant Royal Court Theatres as impressive as any in the West End or Broadway and they're the perfect setting for you to enjoy invigorating, high-tech dance productions.
