To mark the voyage, Jenny has created a bespoke bouquet inspired
by the tradition and luxury of Cunard, with a bounty of exotic and
much-loved flowers including:
- Colored Ranunculus, to add a taste of the exotic and color,
inspired by the loveliest of gardens from around the world
- Scented Genista Flower, for a soft, sweet
smell
- One Garden Rose, to reflect the
timeless, luxury of Cunard
- Umbrella Fern for a little pizazz
Jenny comments: "Cunard is known for its commitment to
excellence, so I wanted to create a bouquet that reflects its
premium nature, beauty from across the world and sense of luxury
that runs through everything the brand does. I'm excited to be
joining the first Festival of Flowers voyage on Queen Victoria and can't wait to help inspire
those travelling on board, exploring the extraordinary gardens the
globe has to offer."

Palma, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and
