COTECH Coatings has played a critical role in enhancing the visual and functional aesthetic of Cunard’s newest flagship vessel, The Queen Anne.
Our advanced surface protection solution has been elegantly integrated into the ship’s design, in the Grand Lobby, a central feature that encapsulates both innovation and heritage.
The State of the Art Ship
Cunard’s Queen Anne represents a fusion of modern luxury and classic elegance, designed to offer passengers an unmatched cruising experience. With accommodation for nearly 3,000 guests, the Queen Anne is not only the line’s largest vessel but also its most contemporary addition, marking a significant stride into the future for Cunard. A centrepiece of this ship is its Grand Lobby, where COTECH’s involvement became pivotal.
Unique Aspect of the Project
The Grand Lobby of The Queen Anne features stunning panels that depict an Art Deco scene transforming into a mural of the ship itself, depending on the viewing angle. These panels are not only a crucial aesthetic element but also demand robust protection to preserve their beauty amidst the high-traffic environment of a cruise ship. COTECH’s cutting-edge surface coatings provided the ideal solution.
COTECH’s Role
We collaborated with Millennium Site Services to apply the advanced coating to the panels. . COTECH is known for increasing longevity, maintaining hygiene and enhancing appearance, the coating was used to ensure these artworks remain pristine over time. This application was tailored to meet the specific needs of the ship’s environment, providing durability without compromising the artwork’s visual impact.
