In a milestone move to honor its legacy, Cunard, the world-renowned British cruise line, has launched a powerful and visually stunning new campaign to mark its 185th anniversary. Titled “The Fine Line,” this global initiative is not just a celebration of Cunard’s long-standing tradition in luxury cruising, but a modern reimagining of its commitment to excellence and refined travel.
The campaign comes at a time when travel demand, especially in luxury sectors, is witnessing a strong resurgence. Cunard, owned by the Carnival Corporation, is using this opportunity to reaffirm its position as a timeless symbol of sophistication on the seas.

The new campaign, developed by London-based agency Fold7, plays on the concept of “the fine line”—a metaphor representing the delicate balance Cunard strikes between heritage and modern luxury, elegance and adventure, tradition and innovation.
Through cinematic visuals, minimalist design, and evocative storytelling, the campaign highlights the Cunard experience as one that sits perfectly on the line between all these qualities. The imagery reflects everything from fine dining and refined service to cultural enrichment, destination discovery, and ocean grandeur.
The campaign will run globally across multiple platforms including digital, social, print, cinema, and TV in major markets like the UK, US, Australia, and Germany. It reflects a modern and artistic interpretation of what makes Cunard unlike any other cruise brand.
Cunard’s journey began in 1840, when Samuel Cunard launched the RMS Britannia, the company’s first transatlantic steamer, sailing from Liverpool to Halifax. Since then, the brand has stood the test of time—serving as a wartime transporter, a royal retreat, and a favorite of celebrities, intellectuals, and world travelers.
Throughout its history, Cunard has operated some of the most iconic ocean liners in history including the Queen Mary, QE2, and the current fleet—Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, and the newest addition, the Queen Anne, set to debut in 2025.
Over the decades, Cunard has transported millions across oceans, setting benchmarks in luxury travel, culinary excellence, and service that few can rival.
According to Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, the campaign is designed to reflect the brand’s unique DNA in a world where consumer expectations continue to evolve.
“We’re proud of Cunard’s iconic past, but equally excited about our future. The Fine Line campaign captures the duality of who we are—deeply rooted in history but always moving forward with innovation and style,” she said.
The campaign aims to appeal not only to loyal Cunard guests but also to a younger, experience-driven audience that values authenticity, cultural enrichment, and premium service.
This comes amid a broader industry trend where cruise lines are targeting millennials and Gen Z travelers—a demographic that seeks meaningful travel experiences, wellness, and sustainability.
Coinciding with the 185th anniversary celebrations is the upcoming launch of Cunard’s newest ship, the Queen Anne. Currently under construction, Queen Anne is set to enter service in May 2025, and promises to be a floating masterpiece.
Queen Anne is expected to redefine luxury sea travel with:
The ship will join Cunard’s elite fleet and reinforce its dedication to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and elevated hospitality.

Cunard is rolling out the campaign in stages, starting with digital teasers, followed by cinema trailers, print features in luxury magazines, and TV commercials during prime-time slots.
In the U.S., Cunard is partnering with travel agents, premium travel sites, and content creators to promote the new campaign to affluent travelers. Similarly, in the UK and Europe, the campaign will be integrated with tourism boards and luxury travel retailers.
The cruise line is also leveraging influencer collaborations and behind-the-scenes content on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, where storytelling is central to audience engagement.
Marketing experts suggest that Cunard’s approach—leaning into its heritage while evolving visually and tonally—is a clever strategy.
“Cunard is doing what luxury brands do best: using history as a brand asset. The Fine Line campaign is clean, elegant, and effective in distinguishing Cunard from more casual cruise offerings,” says travel marketing consultant Louisa Hayes.
With this campaign, Cunard is also reminding the world that while trends come and go, true luxury is timeless.
As the brand approaches two centuries of excellence, Cunard is not just celebrating the past—it’s charting a course for the future. With new ships, new experiences, and a global brand refresh, the cruise line is determined to stay at the forefront of luxury ocean travel.
