A passenger tragically passed away onboard the Queen Anne cruise ship earlier today while docked in Southampton. The news was confirmed by cruise liner company Cunard, who expressed condolences to the deceased individual’s loved ones.

Our thoughts are with their loved ones, and we are in close contact to offer them our full support and assistance during this difficult time,” stated a spokesperson for Cunard.

Despite the unfortunate incident, the departure of the ship will proceed as planned, with no impact on the scheduled departure time of 6 pm. The cruise ship’s itinerary remains unaffected, and it is set to embark on a 16-day round-trip journey to the Mediterranean.

The Queen Anne, a new addition to Cunard’s fleet, recently returned to her home port of Southampton following her naming ceremony in Liverpool earlier this year. The vessel, equipped with modern amenities and luxury accommodations, offers passengers a unique and memorable cruising experience.

The circumstances surrounding the passenger’s death onboard the Queen Anne remain undisclosed, and further details regarding the incident have not been provided.

As investigations into the matter continue, Cunard assures passengers and their families of their unwavering support and assistance during this challenging time.

Updates on the situation will be provided as they become available.
