Tony Award Productions has announced that luxury British cruise line, Cunard, has been named the official cruise partner of The 78th Annual Tony Awards. The brand will be showcased at events leading up to the celebration of the 2024-2025 Broadway season, and at the ceremony itself, which will return to the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Hosted by Tony, Emmy, and GRAMMY Award-winner and three-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo, The American Theatre Wing’s Tony Awards will broadcast LIVE to both coasts on Sunday, June 8, 2025 (8:00 – 11:00 PM ET/5:00 – 8:00 PM PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S.
For 185 years, Cunard has been the preferred mode of travel for iconic stars from the world of entertainment, making it a natural fit as this year’s official cruise partner. From this fall, Queen Elizabeth will host a stellar line-up of Broadway and West End talent performing live on every voyage in the Caribbean.
“The Tony Awards are not only a celebration of the current Broadway season, but of the art of theatre and how it can be shared with new audiences all around the world,” said Jason Laks, President of The Broadway League and Heather Hitchens, President & CEO of the American Theater Wing. “Cunard’s commitment to offering world-class theatre experiences at sea make them the perfect partner as we ring in Broadway’s biggest night!”
“We are delighted to be the official cruise partner for the 2025 Tony Awards, in what’s already been an incredible year for theatre,” said Liz Fettes, Senior Vice President, Commercial North America. “At Cunard we pride ourselves on bringing world class Broadway and West End talent and productions to our itineraries and have a long and revered history with the arts, welcoming iconic stars from the stage and screen throughout our 185 years. We look forward to celebrating the class of 2025 with a touch of British luxury.”
A limited number of tickets to the show are now on sale to the general public. Ticket prices begin at $595 for seats in the second and third mezzanines and are available for purchase at TonyAwards.com and Ticketmaster.com. There is a six ticket limit and all ticket sales are final (Ticketmaster services charges will apply).
Nominations for this year’s Tony Awards will be announced on Thursday, May 1.
