Once aboard the cruise ship, you’ll have a chance to settle into your cabin, explore the ship, and meet your fellow Limitless travellers. The Limitless Care Team is always available to provide support and ensure your holiday gets off to the best possible start.
Your first day at sea is all about exploring the ship and settling in. Typically, the Limitless Team meets with everyone in the morning to catch up over breakfast, make sure you had a comfortable night, discuss the day ahead, and plan activities. We often lunch and dine as a group as well, so you’re never short of company.
During days at sea, there’s plenty to see and do on the Queen Anne. As a group, Limitless travellers often enjoy a relaxed morning, followed by a group lunch and some afternoon fun - be it a theatre show or a musical performance. Then it’s time to get dressed up for a delicious dinner, followed by some fantastic evening entertainment. Of course, how you spend your day is entirely up to you! But it’s good to know that the Limitless Team and your fellow travellers are always around too.
If you’re looking to cool off when the Queen Anne reaches warmer weather, Cunard has you covered. The ship is equipped with two traditional swimming pools, one of which is fitted with a hoist. The pools are located in the Panorama Pool Club, an outdoor area with a bar, loungers, and live music and DJs, and the Pavilion Venue, a spectacular venue with a retractable glass dome roof.
The Mareel Wellness and Beauty facilities are the perfect spot for a bit of pampering too. Featuring a cold room, a Himalayan salt sauna, and a thermal pool, it’s a fantastic place to unwind and relax. A variety of wellness treatments, including skincare, cupping and massages. If you’re looking to enjoy the onboard facilities, we recommend talking to your Tour Manager to ensure accessibility.
Lisbon, one of Europe’s trendiest cities, offers a vibrant mix of history, culture, and cuisine, with its iconic yellow trams, lively alfresco dining, and soulful fado music. As part of the Limitless Lisbon experience, visitors can embark on an accessible 90-minute walking tour from the port to Praça do Comércio, followed by a private wine tasting and samples of local delicacies like fish cakes and the famous pastéis de nata. Travelers can then explore the city further through shopping, dining, or visiting historical sites, while those opting out of the excursion can use Hop-On, Hop-Off buses, though wheelchair spots are limited.
When it comes to entertainment, the Queen Anne has it all. From live music to theatre shows and cabaret, you’ll enjoy an ever-changing lineup of performers to thrill and captivate you. The Brights Light Society is an exciting collaboration with RWS Global and puts on a range of interactive shows, including interactive cinematic productions and variety performances. The Queens Room is renowned for its Cunard Signature Afternoon Tea and live music in the evening.
However, the two most prestigious venues aboard the Queen Anne are arguably the Royal Court Theatre and the Pavilion. While the former brings West End productions and fascinating Cunard Insights talks to the high seas, the latter features a retractable glass dome roof and shows alfresco movies in partnership with the BFI.
With 31 restaurants, bars and lounges, you’re spoiled for choice aboard the Queen Anne. Finished in a range of styles to ensure there’s something for every kind of taste, the ship’s lounges include the nautically-themed Chart Room, the refined Carinthia Lounge, and a traditional British Pub, among others.
When it comes to mealtimes, you have a world of choice on the Queen Anne. While Cunard’s famous White Star Service is available at the Britannia restaurant, you can also choose from an array of other options, including the Mediterranean-inspired Tramonto, the Japanese flavours of Aji Wa, and India’s diverse and delicious cuisine in Aranya. With so much to choose from, you’re in for a treat!
Mallorca’s thriving capital is the jewel in the island’s crown - a vibrant, enchanting city that captures the imagination with its gorgeous honey-stoned walls and bustling streets. Combining Roman, Moorish, and Catalan history and influences, it’s now home to an endless array of fabulous restaurants, bars, galleries and boutiques.
As the ship docks a short distance from the centre, Limitless travellers will catch an accessible shuttle into the city. The breathtaking Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma is a Gothic masterpiece and features work from the iconic Catalan architect, Gaudi, while the Modern Art Museum is also world-famous. Both are accessible. If you just want to soak up the Baeleric atmosphere and stroll the streets, the central plaza or beautiful marina are excellent options.
The Catalan capital is a seaside destination like no other. Whether you’re enjoying some shopping on Las Ramblas, marvelling at Modernist architecture, or chowing down on tapas at a fantastic local bar, it’s difficult not to fall in love with one of Europe’s most energetic and exciting cities.
In Barcelona, Limitless travellers have the option to join an accessible city tour. Starting with a driven sightseeing tour that visits some of the city’s most iconic attractions. Though the attractions can vary, they often include the Columbus monument, Montjuïc, and the Palau de la Música Catalana, among others. After lunch, it’s time for a guided tour of the Sagrada Familia, one of the world’s most iconic architectural designs. A scenic drive back to the ship will round out the day.
On the Queen Anne, you don’t have to wait to reach dry land to enjoy a little shopping. The ship is equipped with a number of boutiques stocking some of the world’s leading brands. Several shops are located around the Grand Lobby, including the Garrard fine jewellery boutique and a dedicated Cunard Collection shop, while the Cabinet of Curiosities and Experience Lounge take things to the next level with a truly special retail experience too.
On top of Cunard’s exciting selection of retail shops, it also features a well-stocked library, so you can enjoy some holiday reading in your downtime. A fantastic art gallery also presents a host of works from up-and-coming and established artists and gives you the opportunity to return home with a truly special holiday memento.
One of Spain’s most historic cities, Cartagena’s natural harbour means it has played a pivotal role in the Mediterranean for thousands of years. While the Phoenicians used it for trade, the Romans made it central to their conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. And this history is fantastically preserved throughout the city.
The Limitless group typically visits the impressive Roman Amphitheatre to get a real feel for the city’s ancient past. Much of the amphitheatre museum is wheelchair accessible, and tour headphones are available. Bars, restaurants, and shops line the charming main street and there are fragments of Roman history wherever you look, so exploring Cartagena’s streets is always an exciting proposition.
While much of Andalucía has a reputation for being relaxed and laid back, that’s certainly not true of Málaga. Youthful, exciting and always moving, the city is modern Spain at its most alive. Great food, a thriving art scene and plenty of cultural attractions ensure it’s a wonderful city to visit. The fantastic climate doesn’t hurt either.
In Málaga, Limitless travellers can explore the city’s beautiful waterfront. With plenty of bars, restaurants and cafes, it’s a great place to grab some lunch and watch the world and Los Boquerones (an affectionate nickname for the locals that comes from the city’s most iconic dish - salted anchovies) go by. A little further afield, the excellent Picasso Museum is accessible and certainly worth a visit.
The oldest continuously inhabited settlement in Europe, an intriguing blend of Hispanic and Arabic influences, and one of the most unique and enjoyable city cultures in Spain, Cádiz is an unforgettable destination. While the locals are known for their wit, humour and relaxed approach to life, the streets are famed for their blissful, sun-swept beauty.
On arriving in Cádiz, we recommend heading to the Plaza de San Juan de Dios, one of the city’s main squares and the perfect place to get to grips with its complex history. An 18th-century masterpiece that mixes architectural styles, Cádiz’s cathedral is accessible via a wheelchair ramp and is certainly worth a visit. As is the seafront promenade, with its endless photo opportunities, historic fortifications and excellent botanical gardens. While some city streets are cobbled, they are relatively smooth as cobbles go, and do not usually pose too much of a problem for wheelchair users. On the whole, Cádiz is wonderfully accessible and a joy to explore.
If you’re heading to warmer climes, the Queen Anne features plenty of beautiful outdoor spaces to ensure you’re able to make the most of it. While the Panorama Pool Club is the place to head if you want gorgeous sea views and a relaxed poolside atmosphere with drinks and music, the partially covered Cabana bar serves up rum-inspired cocktails to those looking for a shadier outdoor spot.
For the best vistas as you head into your next port stop, head to the Observation Deck and Sky Bar, where you can enjoy some of the most uninhibited views on the ship. It also features a range of games, such as shuffleboard and deck quoits, making it the perfect place to spend some time during sunny days at sea.
By now, you will have spent a few days exploring the Queen Anne and enjoying the facilities, activities and entertainment. But we guarantee there are still things you’re yet to see, do or find. Have you visited the onboard library? Tasted the tempura at the Japanese-inspired Aji Wa restaurant? Expanded your horizons at one of the Queen Anne’s award-winning Cunard Insights talks?
As we make our way back to Southampton, this is a great opportunity to check out those parts of the Queen Anne you’re yet to see or return to your favourite spots. Or just relax in total comfort and reminisce about the places you’ve seen over the course of your holiday. Have a chat with your Tour Manager in the morning and organise the perfect final day.
Following your final breakfast aboard the ship, the Limitless team will assist with check-out. The ship’s crew will take down your bags, and we’ll help you disembark, make sure you reach your pick-up, and say our farewells. Your transfer will then get you home, dropping you off at your front door.
We can’t wait to see you on your next Limitless holiday!
