Queen Anne’s Whistle

Cunard’s Queen Anne carries forward one of the line’s most loved traditions: the unmistakable Cunard whistle.

Her main horn is a deep, tri‑tone chord engineered to echo the legendary sound of Queen Mary. Tuned to low, resonant frequencies that can carry for miles, the whistle produces that classic Cunard sound felt as much as heard. Built by Kockum Sonics, the same manufacturer behind Cunard’s modern fleet, Queen Anne’s whistle blends heritage acoustics with contemporary engineering to create a tone that is instantly recognisable to enthusiasts.

To meet modern maritime requirements, Queen Anne also carries a secondary, higher‑frequency whistle used during manoeuvring and restricted‑visibility operations. Together, the two horns allow the ship to perform to Cunard’s historic soundscape while remaining compliant with international regulations.
