Cunard unveils design team for as-yet-unnamed fourth cruise ship

Cunard has announced the team of designers recruited to create the interiors for its new ship.

Simon Rawlings (David Collins Studio), Terry McGillicuddy (Richmond International) and Sybille de Margerie (Sybille de Margerie Paris) are already working with the ship’s creative director, Adam Tihany.

Luxury cruise line’s fourth ship, which is set to join the fleet in 2022, is yet to be named but will be built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy.

“The calibre of talent we have brought together for this project will bring to life our vision of creating a truly world class ship.

“Working alongside the legendary Adam Tihany, the team is working hard to ensure that every aspect of our new ship is exciting and forward-looking, yet unmistakably Cunard,” said Simon Palethorpe, president, Cunard.

The new ship will be the 249th vessel to sail under the Cunard flag and will bring the luxury line’s fleet up to four, for the first time since the 1980s.

She joins Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth and the flagship Queen Mary 2.

Tihany added: “We have assembled a dynamic, passionate team of talented creatives whose unique design sensibilities and innate understanding of the Cunard brand will move the dial forward while recapturing the beloved spirit of Cunard travel in this next generation cruise liner.”
