“Cunard has amassed the most talented interior designers in the industry to bring our new ship to life,” said Josh Leibowitz, SVP Cunard North America. “Each member of the team brings a unique skill set to the project and working in symphony with legendary Adam D Tihany will ensure a product that is one-of-a-kind and uniquely Cunard.”
Adam D Tihany, creative director for Cunard’s new ship, was named one of the greatest American interior architects by The New York Times in 2001, and was responsible for the interior designs of the next generation of Holland America and Seabourn cruise ships launched between 2016 and 2018.
“We have assembled a dynamic, passionate team of talented creatives whose unique design sensibilities and innate understanding of the Cunard brand will move the dial forward while recapturing the beloved spirit of Cunard travel in this next generation cruise liner,” said Tihany.
The new ship will be the 249th vessel to sail under the Cunard flag and will bring the luxury line’s fleet up to four, for the first time since the 1980s.
The ship will be built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy. She joins Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth and flagship Queen Mary 2.
