Steaks and seafood of the highest calibre.

Do you crave an exquisite steak, seared to perfection? Or perhaps a taste of the ocean? Whether you’re in the mood for surf or turf or just somewhere extra special to dine out on board, Steakhouse at the Verandah offers just the place.

With a menu that celebrates the finest steaks and seafood throughout the world today, dining at Steakhouse at The Verandah is sure to be a culinary highlight of your voyage.

Perfect for special occasions (or just because), Steakhouse at The Verandah celebrates the best of land and sea. Buttery soft wagyu. Dry-aged Angus beef. A fruit de mer platter laden with lobster, Scottish langoustines, and Alaskan crab.

Open for lunch on sea days and dinner every evening, the exceptional menu features only the highest quality grass-fed and dry-aged beef, supplied by British butcher Aubrey Allen, whose passionate commitment to sustainable, pasture-bred, beef dates back to the 1930s. When ordering steak, not only will your choice be cooked exactly to your preference, you’ll even be presented with a selection of steak knives to choose from, each one engineered to cut effortlessly and cleanly. After all, the finest produce deserves the finest treatment.

Lunchtimes at Steakhouse at The Verandah are a relaxed occasion with an informal dress code. Expect favourites like delicate Dover sole, prepared à la meunière, or simply grilled, and house-smoked Irish short rib, cooked low and slow, with spiced coffee and almond crumb, and caramelised shallots. Should you be joining us for dinner, you’ll find the evening menu expands to include a wider steak selection and other options, such as a succulent lamb rack and jumbo grilled tiger prawns.

As with the dining menu, the Bar at Steakhouse at the Verandah showcases ingredients hailing from either side of the Atlantic. You’ll find a generous list of drinks to complement your meal, including cocktails inspired by New York and London; a nod to Cunard’s iconic Transatlantic Crossing.

An informal dining option that’s open 24 hours a day, Kings Court offers a rich variety of international cuisines to savour around the clock. Enjoy continental, American and full English breakfasts, Italian stone baked pizza and handmade sushi in a buffet-style setting. A relaxed dress code is observed day and night, providing an alternative to smart attire for guests who prefer casual dress.

Embrace the sense of occasion with every sip at this grand bar and ballroom.

With its sweeping dancefloor, double-height ceiling, and glittering chandeliers, a visit to the Queens Room can’t fail to evoke the timeless romance of ocean travel.

Guests who sail with Cunard frequently have come to regard it as the social hub of the ship, and on Gala Evenings especially this elegant bar and ballroom offers a truly magical setting in which to be swept away in the spirit of the occasion.

It’s also where we serve our signature Afternoon Tea at 3:30pm each day. Just follow the soothing tones of the string quartet and the unmistakable scent of our chefs’ freshly baked scones. Then there’s the chance to brush up on your dancing or learn a new skill. From fencing to Argentine Tango, the Queens Room sets the stage for all kinds of activities.

It’s at night however that this elegant ballroom truly comes alive; no more so than on Gala Evenings (our famed black tie nights) when a live orchestra fills the air with music as guests take to the dancefloor in their finest eveningwear. Drink in the atmosphere from your table with a glass of champagne, or a speciality cocktail, and savour the chance to step out in style for one special night of indulgent celebration.

Succumb to the charms of this magical, light-filled bar, with its scintillating views from the bow of your ship.

Inspired by legendary Cunard Commodores who have expertly captained our fleet over the years, this charming bar offers an ideal setting in which to enjoy an early-evening aperitif or an after-dinner nightcap.

Savour the sweeping views across the horizon as you sip on a cocktail, a classic fine wine, or a premium aged whisky, prepared with signature flair and served at your table.

Visiting at golden hour brings the promise of vibrant orange and pink-streaked sky as the sun sets over the ocean – arrive early to secure a window-side table – while clear nights may reveal a star or two glimmering in the distance.

Those stopping in before dinner will be treated to a complimentary selection of canapés with their drink; just one of many little surprises you’ll experience throughout your ship, while evenings come alive against the soothing sounds of a live pianist.

The pièce de resistance, however, is the collection of cocktails inspired by seven of our most decorated Commodores; each with its own intriguing backstory.

From the quintessential British notes of Land of Hop & Glory, inspired by Commodore Sir Cyril Illingworth, to the Commodore’s Cure, a tribute to Commodore Sir James Bisset, these unique concoctions are as legendary as the men they serve to honour.

A friendly home-from-home in which to savour classic British pub fare.

With its sumptuous leather banquette seating, darts board, and occasional live sports, a visit to the Golden Lion offers all the charm, warmth, and authenticity of walking into a traditional British pub.

Dining at The Golden Lion is equally authentic, with a menu that showcases hearty and much-loved dishes enjoyed for generations throughout the UK and beyond. Food at the Golden Lion is included, with some supplementary dishes on board Queen Anne available for a small fee. Alcohol is purchasable as priced.

The atmosphere at the Golden Lion is always relaxed and vibrant, with occasional live music and televised sports, complemented by lively pub quizzes and darts tournaments – an ideal way to meet new friends or put your skills to the test.

A casual dress code is observed all day long, although if you do wish to dress a little smarter in the evenings that’s perfectly fine too.

In the mornings, you’ll find a light breakfast menu including options such as fresh fruit, pastries, and muesli, plus a selection of freshly made smoothies, juices and hot drinks. Later in the day you can choose from a range of light bites, such as the chef’s signature sandwich or small plates of tapas-style delicacies.

Come evening, the focus turns distinctly Iberian. Try a glass of Port from the largest selection of vintage bottles at sea, or choose from a varied list of Spanish and Portuguese wines by the glass. If sherry is your preferred tipple, you’ll find much to enjoy here, along with a variety of cocktails, spirits, liqueurs, beers, cider and soft drinks.

With a fully equipped gym on board each of our ships, and exercise classes guided by expert instructors, you don’t have to abandon your fitness regime when you holiday with us.

Whether you like to ease into your morning with an early gym session or round off the day at a yoga class, the fitness facilities on board our ships mean you can always nurture your health and wellbeing – no matter where in the world you sail.

Please note that use of the gym is included in your voyage fare, however personal training sessions, consultations, and fitness classes may be subject to additional charges.
