Cunard Cruise Ship ‘Queen Anne’ arrives in UK for first time, passing Cowes on 30th April 2024

The spectacular new cruise ship from Cunard, the Queen Anne sailed into her home port of Southampton for the first time today.
As it passed Cowes on the Isle of Wight, I managed to get some drone shots of the beautiful ship as she sailed past.
I hope you enjoy watching, if so, please give the video a LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you would like to see more of my videos from around the Isle of Wight and beyond.
Thanks for watching!

Wow lovely footage, I'm guessing there were lots of drones there.

It feels surreal. After 7 years since I first saw this ship announced in my high school cafeteria (remember it like it was yesterday), she's finally home and ready to grace the seas of the world in the way only Cunard can. Welcome at last, Queen Anne. Lovely footage too. 👍

Lovely comments Kai. It just goes to show how the years quickly pass. I was thinking something similar to myself as I witnessed her arrival into her home port of Southampton. Looking forward to witnessing her departure on Friday evening as the QUEEN ANNE leaves on her maiden voyage. I originally had concerns regarding the size of the funnel as well as the extra full deck height of her black hull and the Cunard logo but having seen it in the flesh as it we're I'm very impressed. The Cunard logo on her forward part of her hull was going to be white but I'm pleased that it remained the iconic Cunard red. The retouched Cunard crest looks beautifull as well.

Why would it be named after Dutch Royalty & be based in UK?

I’m sorry Cunard….and I’m a Southampton lad…..brought up on the original Queen Mary and Elizabeth….looking out over the docks from my bedroom window and seeing all the classic liners……this ship lacks beauty. Seen in silhouette on the horizon it looks like a container ship. The inside, however, is quite stunning. Surely some designer can bring back the style and grace of the ‘old ladies’. Ps sorry for the rant!

I thought it looked classic. Long pointed bow, sleek. What I find weird looking are some of the other new ships like Celebrity for eg. Those inverted bows that point downward into the water just, they don’t look right. All in the eye of the beholder I suppose.
