Cunard confirms dance cruise

CUNARD has today unveiled details of its first ever Australian special event cruise, as part of the cruise line’s newly minted partnership with the Australian Dance Theatre ( CW 01 Mar 2018).

The six-night voyage aboard Queen Elizabeth will travel from Melbourne to Tasmania, departing on 12 Mar next year.

Next year will mark the vessel’s inaugural homeport season in Australasia, with Queen Elizabeth to cruise in local waters for a record 54 days.

Guests aboard the special departure will be able to experience two bespoke performances of the Australian Dance Theatre’s latest international work “The Beginning of Nature” - the first time the troupe has created a tailor-made piece to be performed at sea.

“Weaving together music and astonishingly powerful contemporary dance, The Beginning of Nature is a stunning performance that takes audiences on a journey through the complex symphonies of nature,” the company said.

Workshops, movement classes and insights seminars will also be available for guests, led by Australian Dance Theatre performers and artistic director Garry Stewart.
