Cunard toasts knighted commodores for new cocktail menu

Cunard’s Queen Mary 2

Global cruise liner Cunard is infusing the cocktail experience had on board with the legacies of its noteworthy commodores.

Cunard Commodores have directed the cruise liner’s ships across the world’s oceans for nearly two centuries and counts more knighthoods among its captains than any other cruise liner. Fittingly, the seven captains to be honored with knighthood will be personified in a libation served at the Commodore Club on each of the Cunard Queens.

Commodores and cocktails
The cocktails included on the Knighted Cunard Commodores menu were crafted by the cruise liner’s onshore and onboard mixologists using ingredients that reflect the personalities of Cunard’s captains.

Illustrator Lauren Crowe worked with Cunard to bring the cocktail menu to life. Ms. Crowe created seven a pencil drawing of each men and his respective personality and narrative.

The illustrations of the seven men are found within a bold, contemporary menu design that drew inspiration from Cunard’s maritime past. Also included are monograms designed to represent an individual commodore along with a subtle reference to an aspect of his narrative.

For example, guests on board the recently renovated Queen Mary 2 (see story) can sample all seven cocktails, including the “Over the Top,” inspired by Commodore Sir James Charles. Commodore Charles was known for his grand dinner parties on the Aquitania, and the aromatic and refreshing sharing cocktail is presented to reflect the opulent affairs he hosted.

“Inspired by character and history, each cocktail has been thoughtfully created to honor their remarkable stories.”
