Inger Klein Tohauga, the first female captain in Cunard’s history, will be the captain of the first season, which includes Queen Anne’s maiden voyage.
Torhauga began his career as second officer on Cunard’s Vistafjord in 1997 and was appointed captain of Queen Victoria in 2010. A native of the Faroe Islands (Denmark), he has served as captain of the Queen Victoria and, more recently, the Queen Elizabeth. The year 2024, when Queen Anne makes its debut, will be a milestone year for Tohauga, marking 25 years since joining Cunard.

About the design
Queen Anne’s design incorporates elements inspired by Cunard’s past history, but was created with a new vision, bringing together talent from different disciplines to write a new chapter.
Queen Anne will be renovating Cunard’s iconic interior. We will introduce new experiences in dining, culture, entertainment and more, and together with our signature White Star Service, we will offer an unparalleled cruise experience. Bridging traditional and contemporary luxury, Queen Anne offers a new look for Cunard, incorporating influential design styles from the past and present. By collaborating with world-renowned designers, we have created a design with a special feel and attention to detail that offers a new style of voyage. The interior features Cunard’s timeless sophistication, with bold colors expressing a striking beauty.
The Queen Anne design team accessed a wealth of historical
documentation and details regarding blueprints, materials, fabrics, patterns and textures from the Cunard archives held at the University of Liverpool (UK). We consulted everything from past posters and advertisements to catalog covers and drawings of Cunard’s early decorated ships to create a concept worthy of the ultimate hospitality experience at sea.
