Queen Mary Art Deco Festival

Cruise back in time to the golden era of style and design. This event marks the ship's 13th Art Deco gathering. Enjoy a weekend celebrating the artistic movement that influenced the design of the world's most advanced ocean liner of the time. The festival explores Art Deco’s effect on culture, fashion, food, art, interior design, architecture, music and more. 

  • Daily activities include a showcase of vintage cars, a colorful Bazaar offering collectibles and vintage goods for sale and expert lectures spanning topics from filmmaking, the evolution of smoking, the influence of Noel Coward on the culture of the times, and Radio in the Art Deco era. 
  • A Prohibition Mixology class introduces period libations while a Soda Fountain Tasting will interpret the creative temptations that sometimes made film stars of counter boys.
  • The Art Deco Festival's centerpiece is the Grand Ball. The formal vintage 'dress-to impress' evening presents a lavish four-course historic menu with the Dean Mora Orchestra completing the mood.
