Cunard Reveals Interior Design for Refurbished 'Queen Mary 2' Ahead of Return Next Summer
Luxury cruise line Cunard has unveiled the design vision for Queen Mary 2's interiors, which will welcome guests when the world's only ocean liner returns to service in May 2027 following a significant refurbishment.
The reveal coincided with the ship's departure from Southampton on November 10 for her 450th Transatlantic Crossing.
Queen Mary 2 will emerge from refit with refreshed interiors expressing a distinctive, timeless design language: Cunard Deco. Rooted in Cunard's unrivalled transatlantic heritage, Cunard Deco brings together the cinematic glamour of Hollywood's golden age and the grandeur of Cunard's regal lineage.
The refurbishment will introduce new Grill Suites accommodation, an elevated wellness offering and refreshed guest spaces, while preserving the ship's distinctive Art Deco identity and her place as the icon of transatlantic glamour.
Bringing the creative vision to life, Cunard has collaborated with acclaimed illustrator Tanu Vasu on a bespoke collection of newly released illustrations. Offering the first look at how some of Queen Mary 2's most iconic spaces will be reimagined, the illustrations capture the spirit, craftsmanship and design language behind the transformation.
Designed by London-based studio AD Associates, the interiors draw directly from Cunard's historic archive and the decorative arts of the original Queen Mary, creating a rich visual narrative that connects Britain and America, past and present, across the Atlantic.
As the flagship of the Cunard fleet and the only ship in the world offering regularly scheduled transatlantic crossings between Southampton and New York, Queen Mary 2 holds a special place in maritime history. The 2027 refurbishment represents Cunard's continued investment in the future of luxury ocean travel.
Paul Ludlow, President of Cunard, said: "Queen Mary 2 holds a unique position within our fleet and remains one of the most recognizable ships in the world. Our focus is on protecting and celebrating everything that makes her so special, while making considered enhancements that will further elevate the onboard experience. We are confident these improvements will ensure Queen Mary 2 continues to set the standard in luxury ocean travel for years to come."
