Welcome to The Golden Lion
As a British institution, the ‘public house’ has always played a pivotal role on board Cunard vessels as a place to relax and unwind. From emigrants crossing the oceans in search of a new life, to the glamorous and famous travelling in style, all have found a warm welcome in the pub.
The striking design of this menu has been inspired by the 25th anniversary of The Golden Lion pub on our ships. The frontispiece dates from the 1938 launch programme of Queen Elizabeth, whose roaring lion serves as our muse for The Golden Lion pub of today.
