107 Days Around the World: The Full Cunard Queen Anne World Voyage Film
In 2025, we stepped away from our homes and offices for four months to join the inaugural World Voyage of Cunard’s brand-new ship, Queen Anne. This is the complete story of a 107-night journey across 30 ports and 19 countries—a once-in-a-lifetime experience captured entirely on two iPhones.
From the brutal winter seas of the Atlantic to the serene, mesmerising waters of the Great Barrier Reef, we share the reality of life on board Cunard’s newest ship. This film isn’t just about luxury travel; it’s about the sense of adventure, the history being made by Queen Anne, and the challenge of balancing a global journey with our careers and sanity.
In this film, you’ll experience:
• Iconic Landmarks: Transiting the Panama Canal, arriving in Sydney Harbour, and exploring the streets of Hong Kong.
• Life On Board: A deep dive into the Queen Anne’s unique spaces, from the Library to the first dedicated Asian restaurant, Aji-wa.
• The Highs and Lows: Outrunning Cyclone Alfred in Australia, navigating “heightened security” in pirate-threatened waters, and the frustrating reality of the Africa “fail-fest” with visa and health requirements.
• The Friends You Meet Along The Way: Attending the first-ever wedding on a Queen Anne World Voyage and making lifelong memories with a global community.
Whether you are planning your own world cruise or just looking for an escape, we hope you enjoy seeing the world through our eyes.

Absolute cinema! Feature film version of the World Voyage… dream!
Great job! I totally appreciate your mix of ship life and ports.
Wow! Just wow! You did such a nice job of editing which made this so enjoyable to watch! 😊 So sorry to hear about South Africa… 🙁
This is the most cinematic cruise video I have ever seen. Thanks for taking so much care to produce it so beautifully.
Well that was a journey! Epic. Visuals are stunning and the story had me cutting onions. Beautiful job 🤍
Excited for this……. 🤩
Feature length but no wasted time, great edit!
Thanks for the amazing video! Wondering whether to start saving I have a practical question: Around how much money did you need for all the food on board?
That was beautiful. And as much for the people as the places. I loved the little vignettes of the people you met. It brought back great memories, as QM2 was also our first cruise – definitely added Queen Anne to our wish list.
Brilliant film guys. We start ours at the end of this Week on QA
Beautiful film! We were on the SF to Auckland leg of this journey too, so brought back memories and showed the background of stories we’d heard from other guests about the rough transatlantic crossing. I also became a shellback on this crossing. We explored NZ for a month then took another cruise home. In fact our Auckland hotel had a rooftop bar where we saw and toasted Queen Anne’s departure. Well done and so sorry about Africa. Hope you keep cruising and recording, really love both your shorter vlogs and your film.
Been sailing with Cunard for 40 yrs and how easy was it getting all the visas
How do you deal with the ever changing Visa requirements?
Extremely well done video with your added introspection. This "cruise vergin" is ready to give Cunard a try. Thank you!
Absolutely Excellent video.
Which port interests you the most?
Just wondering why you picked the club restaurant, as it seems an odd grade, as we have sailed in normal outside and queens grill On all ships.
This is just utterly wonderful and awesome!! Good job you lovely people ❤
Were the tacos good? Great video!
Thanks for taking us on the maiden voyage of the Queen Anne! Very well made.
Love this!Thank you so much for sharing🙏🏼I’m a Gen X & hope to do this one day!🛳️💕
Maybe we met and passed by on Queen Anne cause I took a short cruise trip with my mom from Hong Kong to Singapore via Vietnam last March. Indeed it's a wonderful journey to be a guest on her maiden voyage, cheers 😊
Beautifully filmed
AMAZING VIDEO MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would love to see Cruising With Millennials do Cunard’s other ships! 🚢
Such a beautifully made film of your amazing voyage. I am only 54, have raised my 5 children and thought that I would spend my future years travelling and seeing places I have always dreamed of. Now I find myself wheelchair bound due to a severe autoimmune disease that has taken my mobility and leaves me feeling weak and unwell most days. It isn't the "future" that I dreamed of nor is it a life that I ever expected to be living. I was a nurse for 25 years and caring for people was my love language. Now I am trying to figure out how to care for myself as I navigate these unexpected detours in life. I am not angry but some days I am sad. Most of all I am grateful because I know that things could be much worse. So I try to seek out things that bring me joy. Little snippets of time that take my mind off of pain and let me focus on good things. Your film did that for me so I wanted to thank you sincerely for that. The two of you seem genuinely kind, extremely smart and driven, and you seem to truly love each other. Thar is a beautiful thing to observe and I wish you both the very best as you continue your lives. God bless you both and thank you again.
Beautiful 😍 thank you xx
