Cunard to Debut Exclusive “Come From Away” Production at Sea

Cunard has announced it will feature the Broadway hit and Tony Award winning show “Come From Away” for the first time at sea.

The exclusive production will premiere onboard Queen Elizabeth’s maiden Caribbean voyage, departing October 16, 2025. The announcement coincides with the musical’s 10th anniversary, marking a decade since the inspiring story first took to the stage.

Written by Canadian duo Irene Sankoff and David Hein, Come From Away tells the extraordinary true story of the 6,579 airline passengers stranded in Gander, Newfoundland, following the events of 9/11—and the local community that welcomed them. A global phenomenon, the show has played to sold-out audiences on Broadway and in London’s West End, lauded for its powerful message of kindness, resilience, and humanity.

By bringing the production to sea, Cunard adds a new dimension to its enrichment programming, offering guests an exclusive opportunity to experience one of theatre’s most celebrated works in an intimate onboard setting.

“We are very excited to bring Come from Away to Queen Elizabeth for her maiden Caribbean season,” said Katie McAlister, President of Cunard. “It’s a show that resonates deeply with audiences, celebrating compassion and connection – values that we share at Cunard. We are incredibly passionate about the power of timeless storytelling, and our long-standing affiliation with London’s West End and Broadway in New York ensures that unparalleled entertainment is at the heart of the Cunard experience.

Our 2026 Entertainment Residencies will build on this commitment, offering our guests unforgettable access to the very best live performances at sea.”

Come From Away will be performed in Queen Elizabeth’s majestic Royal Court Theatre twice during each voyage, with matinee and evening performances available. This exclusive production has been specially crafted for the stage at sea, featuring one hour and 40 minutes of powerful storytelling, music and an ensemble of 12 talented stage performers.
