Cunard Calls on Guests to Share Magical
Moments for Centennial Sea Views Exhibition
VALENCIA, Calif., Jan. 9, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Luxury cruise line, Cunard has announced it
will be launching the Sea Views exhibition in 2023, featuring never
before seen imagery from the Cunard archives, together with a
selection of photos submitted by the guests and curated by
photographer and filmmaker Mary
McCartney.
I'm pleased to curate an exhibition within
this treasure trove of 100 years of on board photography, said
Mary McCartney
The Sea Views exhibition will mark two key centenaries – the
first being that 100 years ago, Cunard was the first cruise line to
introduce an on board photographer to capture the signature moments
of their guests' voyage. The second is the 100-year anniversary of
the first ever round the world cruise on Cunard's ship Laconia.
To celebrate both of these momentous centenaries, Cunard has
partnered with British photographer Mary
McCartney to curate the unique exhibition of 100 images
captured across their fleet of ships. With previous guests
including Hollywood icons such as
Elizabeth Taylor and Bing Crosby,
Cunard will be opening up their archives to select photographs that
showcase the glamour, grandeur and timeless style for which Cunard
has become famous.
"I'm pleased to curate an exhibition within this treasure trove
of 100 years of on board photography. I'm looking forward to
exploring the archives and the crowdsourced images to hand pick a
portfolio of iconic images that will reflect a century of luxury
travel," said British photographer Mary
McCartney
"With over 14,000 images stored in the Cunard archives in
Liverpool – the founding home port
of Cunard Line – we have a wealth of memories from the 1920s to
present day to choose from," said Siân Wilks, Cunard Archivist at
the University of Liverpool Library.
"We are extremely excited to work alongside Mary McCartney to launch the Sea Views
exhibition."
In addition to the archived photos that will be exhibited,
Cunard is calling on the guests to share any photographs they may
have collected over the years when travelling on board a Cunard
ship, capturing special moments, amazing views and unique
experiences. All images shared will be reviewed, with selected
images to be part of this rare, centennial exhibition.
"We're extremely proud of Cunard's 183-year history and
particularly of the fact we pioneered the round-the-world voyage
100 years ago. What better way to celebrate this centenary
anniversary than by curating a fantastic selection of images from
our guests who've travelled with us. We're delighted to be working
with the wonderful Mary McCartney to
create this exhibition and can't wait to see the unforgettable
moments that our guests have captured over the years," said
Matt Gleaves, VP Commercial, Cunard,
North America.
