With less than 50 days to go before the Queen Anne's maiden voyage, Cunard will have new deck games for passengers to play on board its newest ship.
Cunard has offered deck games for more than a century, and now, it will have an exclusive partnership with PickleballENGLAND, the English governing body for one of the fastest growing sports in the UK and North America.
Pickleball is a mix of tennis, badminton and table tennis that can be played solo or in pairs, both indoors and outdoors, and the Queen Anne's top deck will feature its own state-of-the-art pickleball court.
The Queen Anne will also be the only ship in the world where travelers can hone their archery skills thanks to a new partnership with Archery GB.
The partnership connects Cunard with top Olympic athletes and coaches, with instructors on board accredited by Archery GB.
The Queen Anne, with a capacity for 3,000 passengers, will be an official Archery GB activity center, where passengers can learn the basics through training, compete with other travelers and enjoy an introduction to the sport.
Sky Bar and observation deck
The Sky Bar and Observation Deck of the Queen Anne will be a paradise for deck-game enthusiasts.
Located at the bow of the ship, on deck 14, this daytime spot is a multipurpose area, with some of the most uninhibited views of any outdoor space on board.
Golfers will enjoy both the golf course and the fully equipped driving range, which allows travelers to practice their game surrounded by stunning views of the sea or the destinations.
The popular shuffleboard courts will also be installed on the Observation Deck and in the Sky Bar, offering travelers the chance to enjoy a friendly competition.
Katie McAlister, Cunard's president, said: “Whether it’s pickleball, archery, or world-class shows and lectures, Cunard is committed to providing passengers with a wealth of activities to choose from. Our onboard entertainment has always been at the heart of what we do, and we look forward to the Queen Anne continuing this trend in the future.”
