VALENCIA, Calif., Oct. 3, 2024
/CNW/ -- Cunard has announced that the famous Cuban ballet company
Acosta Danza will be on board
Queen Victoria from May 26 – July 7,
2025, for a special six-week residency.
The critically acclaimed company, founded by world-renowned
ballerina Carlos Acosta, will
perform two exclusive shows, which will be revealed closer to the
time.
In addition to performances, they will hold workshops and panel
discussions in the ship's Royal Court Theatre. Guests can also
watch Yuli: The Carlos Acosta Story, a biographical film directed
by the multi-award-winning director Iciar Bollain, either in the
Royal Court Theatre or on stateroom TV.
Acosta Danza was formed to
harness and develop the young creative dance talent emerging from
Cuba. The ethos of the company is
to produce dancers who can combine both classical and contemporary
genres effortlessly, filled with Cuba's rich musical and dance influences, to
create a repertoire which is both exciting and stimulating and
which pushes conventional boundaries.
The summer sailings will be a great adventure for sun-seekers as
well as theatre lovers, with port calls to charming destinations,
including Cephalonia in Greece,
Dubrovnik in Croatia, and
Barcelona in Spain.
Prices currently start from $4,538
per person based on two sharing a Britannia Balcony stateroom for
the 14-night Italy and Adriatic
voyage. Full details can be found, here.
Cunard has an incredible track record of collaborating with some
of the biggest names in theatre entertainment, with renowned West
End and Broadway producer David Pugh
bringing award-winning shows to the luxury cruise line's new ship
Queen Anne.
Cunard President, Katie McAlister, said: "We are delighted to
partner with Acosta Danza for what
promises to be an extraordinary residency on board Queen Victoria next summer. As one of the
world's leading contemporary ballet companies, their artistry will
add a captivating new dimension to our Mediterranean voyages.
This collaboration offers our guests a unique experience to enjoy
world-class performances while sailing in true style – a perfect
harmony of elegance and refinement."

Acosta Danza to Queen Victoria next
year is an exciting new chapter for our company. We're so excited

with Cunard's guests. Our all-new productions during this residency
will be a unique blend of precision and flair, where we shall aim
to defy expectation with every step on stage."
