VALENCIA, Calif., March 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- With less than 50 days to go
until Queen Anne's maiden voyage,
Cunard has revealed some of the new deck games that guests can play
aboard its newest ship.
The luxury cruise line has celebrated deck games for more than a
century, and now Cunard can announce an exclusive partnership with
Pickleball England, the English governing body of one of the
fastest-growing sports in the UK and North America*.
Pickleball is a mixture of tennis, badminton, and table tennis
and can be played by singles or in pairs, either indoors or
outside, and Queen Anne's top deck
will boast its very own state-of-the-art Pickleball court.
Queen Anne will also be the only
ship in the world where travelers can master their archery skills
with a real bow and arrow, as Cunard elevates its deck game
offering with a new Archery GB partnership.
The partnership connects Cunard with world-leading athletes and
Olympic coaches, with onboard instructors accredited by Archery GB.
The 3,000-guest ship will be an official Archery GB activity
center, where guests will be able to learn the basics with
in-person coaching, compete with fellow travelers, and enjoy a
social introduction to the sport.
Sky Bar and Observation
Deck
Guests will find Queen Anne's
spectacular Sky Bar and Observation
Deck a haven for deck game enthusiasts.
Located at the forward of the ship on deck 14, this day-round
venue is a wonderfully multi-purpose destination, complete with
some of the most uninhibited views of any outside space on
board.
Golfers will enjoy the putting green and fully stocked driving
range, allowing travelers to practice their game surrounded by
sparkling sea views or overlooking stunning port landscapes.
The ever-popular deck quoits and shuffleboard courts will also
be based in the Observation Deck and Sky
Bar, offering travelers the perfect vantage point from which
to enjoy some friendly competition.
Katie McAlister, President of
Cunard, said: "Whether it's pickleball, archery, or world-class
shows and lectures, Cunard is committed to providing guests with a
wealth of activities to choose from whatever mood or interest may
take them. Our onboard entertainment has always been at the heart
of what we do, and we look forward to Queen
Anne continuing this trend in the future."
