Celebrate 185 Years of Cunard with The Cunard Story
Fully updated in 2025, The Cunard Story showcases the history of this iconic cruise line. The book traces the Cunard story from the early days of Samuel Cunard and the first voyage of Unicorn to the world’s largest Ocean Liner, Queen Mary 2.
Follow Cunard’s history from the early days of the paddle steamer through to the giant liners of the 20th century, and Cunard’s efforts in both world wars. No history of Cunard would be complete without detailing QE2, the longest serving Cunarder of all time, and her role in the Falklands Campaign.
Cunard’s Story is ongoing, and this fully updated book covers the modern Cunard Queens, QM2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth as well as the newest Cunarder, Queen Anne. With an introduction by noted maritime historian Bill Miller, this book is a fitting tribute to the greatest Ocean Liners of our time.
