Cunard's Queen Anne Faced Pirate Threat On Maiden Voyage

Passengers aboard Cunards luxury cruise liner, Queen Anne, were issued a warning last week as the ship sailed through waters notorious for piracy in Southeast Asia.

The vessel, currently on a 111-night world voyage, implemented heightened security measures while passing through the Sulu and Celebes seasan area with a well-documented history of maritime crime.

A TikTok video captured the moment Captain Inger Klein addressed passengers, informing them of the enhanced precautions.

This area is known for piracy threats , the captain stated in the announcement. Therefore, we will be operating at a heightened level of security alertness during this period.

The external promenade deck will be closed on both sides from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. overnight between the night of 14th and 15th of March. And no guests will be allowed access during these times for the duration of the transit.
