Norwegian Cruise Line increases variety in
Europe for the 2017 summer season
Cunard cruise line's Commodore Club
cocktail bar has announced a revised
cocktail menu which shares 'the
unique story of the Knighted Cunard
Commodores'. The cruise line said that
its gifted onshore and on-board bar
teams have created these drinks by
meticulously mixing ingredients that
reflect the appeal of 'these celebrated
men'. Every historical and decorated
chronicle, the line continued, is instilled
into the cocktail experience with the
contemporary menu design, artwork, and
magnificent new trademark cocktails.
The press release continued: "These new
and fresh additions to the renowned bar,
found in prime locations on each of the
Cunard Queens, highlight the incredible
craftsmanship that has gone into each
drink." A perfect example is the new
'Punch Romain à la Carpathia', popularly
believed to be the last beverage ever
served on the ill-fated Titanic. This mix
was inspired by Commodore Sir Arthur
Rostron, who was in charge of the rescue
attempt, and features Advocaat as its
core ingredient. The cruise line joined
forces with illustrator Lauren Crowe to
bring to life these famous personalities,
producing complex pencil illustrations of
all seven knighted Commodores. Richard
Meadows, Cunard North America's
President, said with over 176-years of
cruise history, the line has continued to
be recognised globally as a pioneer in
exploring the earth. He added Cunard
was proud to recognise seven of the
most honoured Cunard Commodores in
the Queen Mary 2's already legendary
Commodore Club, men who have been
in charge of Cunard flagships and fleets
during its glorious history. Meadows
concluded: "Inspired by character
and history, each cocktail has been
thoughtfully created to honour their
remarkable stories."
