Luxury cruise line, Cunard, have announced a world first partnership with the contemporary circus company, Circa.
Guests will be able to watch this spectacular during a six-week residency onboard the Queen Elizabeth ship in early 2024, where she will be sailing across Australian and New Zealand waters.
Circa’s brand new suite of productions will be expertly curated to suit Queen Elizabeth’s grand Royal Court Theatre, which rivals many of those found in the West End. On Queen Elizabeth, guests can even book they’re own theatre box to enjoy the show from in ultimate luxury and comfort- creating a truly bespoke experience.
The marvellous 2,069 passenger ship will see Circa perform for passengers onboard from the 1st February 2024 to the 10th March 2024.
Cunard VP, Commercial for North America and Australasia, Matt Gleaves, said, ” The collaboration with Circa promises to be a real treat for our Australian and New Zealand guests and highlights our ambition to work with world-leading and state of the art partners to inspire and entertain them while they’re on board with us.
“It’s in Cunard’s DNA to deliver the very best of entertainment at sea, be it West End style performances, carefully curated event voyages featuring global talent and partners, or renowned high-profile speakers. The Cunard experience is built on premium entertainment, exemplary fine dining, art deco inspired public spaces, and outstanding White Star Service,” he added.
Circa is at the forefront of the new wave of contemporary Australian circus, having performed to over 1.5 million people across more than 40 countries and six continents- greeted by standing ovations, rave reviews and sold-out venues. The company continue to push the boundaries of the art form, blurring the lines between movement, dance, theatre and circus.
Circa Executive Director, Shaun Comerford, said, “The 6-week residency will be the first time a major Australian performing arts company has partnered with a global cruise line, and we look forward to working with the team at Cunard to deliver what will surely be an unforgettable experience for their guests.”
