Cunard | Queen Anne Naming Ceremony | June 2024
A proud and momentous day in Cunard history. We named our newest ship, Queen Anne, at a spectacular naming ceremony in our spiritual home of Liverpool.
Tens of thousands of people gathered at Liverpool Waterfront to witness the historic celebrations, which featured performances from iconic Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts and more.
Liverpool was the birthplace of Cunard’s first transatlantic crossing, 184 years ago in May 1840, and was the company’s headquarters for 128 years. The love and affection the people of Liverpool still have for all things Cunard is clear - never more so than when a Cunard ship arrives on the Mersey.
The City of Liverpool was named as Queen Anne’s Godparent in recognition of the long-lasting bond with its spiritual home.
Five Liverpool icons were invited on stage to represent the city, including former Spice Girl and author Melanie C, broadcaster and community leader Ngunan Adamu, local restaurant entrepreneur Natalie Haywood, Liverpool music and cultural legend Jayne Casey, and British Olympian heptathlon athlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
These distinguished women, who embody the heart and future of Liverpool, just as Queen Anne does for Cunard, were chosen because of their significant contributions to culture at a local, national or international level.
The iconic smashing of the Champagne bottle against the ship signified this historic moment and wished the vessel and its crew good fortune on its future voyages.
To top the bill, operatic superstar Andrea Bocelli ended the event with an unforgettable performance.

    The Royal family were not present as we are currently in the lead up to a general election, and public appearances are traditionally reduced at these times, as the royals are not aloud to show any bias. Therefore what better god parent can a ship have than the entire city of people, where the company was originally created, and within view of the beautiful Cunard building.

    I always ship some ships like the RMS Olympic (SS as she was formerly known as) with the Mauretania although as a member of the Shipping Community… someone who likes ships as in cruise/ocean liners with propellers not actually “I love you Jake” ship- I call them their “Cunard Cousins” bc I guess W.S and Cunard were associated with each other with a few confusions or some sht but Yh I call them their Cunard cousins! It’s not weird bc their ships tho so it’s fine. I call them Olympetania or Maurolympic.

    The word 'distinguished' was used a lot but as far as I can see it was heavily populated by z-list 'celebrities'. Glad I didn't travel up to Liverpool to go to the naming day, what a non-event! Andrea Bocelli was good but otherwise looks a pretty rubbish event. Looking forward to travelling on ship later this year.

    What nonsense, no problem with officially naming the ship in Liverpool, but to have five nondescript people from Liverpool being associated with the ship is a joke. Have Cunard gone woke? Why on earth didn't Cunard invite Princess Anne to be the Godmother of the ship, she's the daughter of a Queen and of course Royal. If they can have the Duchess of Cornwall (now Queen Camilla) naming Queen Victoria , they should have had Princess Anne naming the ship and to have a portrait of her in the ship would have meant a lot to the people who will travel on the QA. Of course, Cunard's home is Southampton not Liverpool.

    A silly uninspiring “ WOKE “ mess ! Andrea Bocelli was wonderful as always ! But no member of the Royal Family there to properly christen the ship ???? Really Cunard !?!?! The stupid screechy electric guitar was VERY disrespectful to the national anthem !!😢 Granted I’m not from Liverpool , not an English citizen , I’m from the United States but••• I never heard of the two hosts or the four celebrities 🤷‍♂️! I think that naming Liverpool perhaps the “ official spiritual home “ ( because of Liverpool’s wonderful history in connection with Cunard) would have been fantastic! But a godparent is a person NOT a place ?? The ceremony was a HUGE disappointment, much like the ship’s disappointing cold stark interior designs and decor !!!😒🙄👎

      It was pretty bad. I'd been awaiting this event and watched this to see which member of the Royal Family was going to do the naming. .....Nope. Cringey choreographed dancing, a city designated as a "godparent" and represented by a group of five women (sorry, men of Liverpool, you're not regarded by Cunard as Liverpudlian, apparently), two hosts looking like they've just stumbed out of a nightclub, Cunard uniforms in a mess. Terrible. Seems this will be the only Cunard ship in the fleet without a royal portrait in it.
