Cunard has announced a special 6-week residency of the renowned Cuban ballet company Acosta Danza aboard Queen Victoria from May 26th to July 7th, 2025.
Founded by acclaimed ballet dancer Carlos Acosta (1973-born in Havana Cuba), the company will present 2 exclusive performances, details of which will be revealed closer to the sailing date. In addition to these shows, guests will have the opportunity to participate in workshops and attend panel discussions hosted in the ship's Royal Court Theatre. The biographical film "Yuli: The Carlos Acosta Story" (directed by Iciar Bollain) will also be shown both in the theatre and on passenger staterooms' TVs.
Acosta Danza was established to nurture emerging dance talent from Cuba, blending classical and contemporary styles with the country’s vibrant musical and cultural influences. The company's repertoire is designed to challenge traditional boundaries and offer innovative, dynamic performances.
This summer voyage aboard Queen Victoria offers a combination of artistic enrichment and sun-filled adventure, with scheduled calls at ports such as Cephalonia in Greece, Dubrovnik in Croatia, and Barcelona in Spain. Fares for the 14-night Italy and Adriatic voyage start at US$4,538 per person, based on double occupancy in a Britannia Balcony stateroom.
