The newly launched programme promises 52 UNESCO World Heritage sites, 23 late-night departures, and 22 overnight port calls, ensuring that travellers can explore their chosen destinations in depth. With Queen Anne, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary 2, and Queen Victoria setting sail on these new itineraries, Cunard continues to raise the bar in luxury cruising, offering a mix of both short and long voyages tailored to suit all tastes and preferences.
Cunard’s World Voyages: Uniting Luxury with Exploration
A highlight of the new programme is the launch of two remarkable World Voyages. Queen Anne, Cunard’s newest ship, will embark on a 111-night Western Circumnavigation, covering an extraordinary range of destinations starting in January 2028. Meanwhile, the legendary Queen Elizabeth will set off on a 113-night Eastbound adventure, which will explore the fascinating coasts of Africa, Australasia, the Pacific Islands, and the Americas.
Both of these World Voyages are designed for those with a true sense of adventure, eager to explore diverse cultures and remote locations over several months. With extended port stays, these itineraries allow travellers to immerse themselves in the beauty and diversity of each region, including overnight calls to destinations such as Cape Town, Sydney, and Yokohama. These extended stays and unique late departures ensure that every traveller can enjoy a thorough exploration of each port.
Exclusive Maiden Calls: A Journey Off the Beaten Path
Cunard’s fleet will also make maiden calls to several exciting and exclusive destinations, offering passengers a truly unique cruise experience. For Queen Anne, these new ports include Lautoka, Fiji and Halong Bay, Vietnam, both of which are rarely visited by larger cruise lines, ensuring a level of exclusivity and intimacy for those lucky enough to be aboard.
Similarly, Queen Elizabeth will make its first visits to St. George’s in Grenada, Kingstown in St. Vincent, and Durban in South Africa, marking the ship’s journey through the tropical warmth of the Caribbean and the cultural richness of Africa.
Other Cunard Ship Highlights
- Queen Mary 2 will feature a variety of sailings, from transatlantic crossings to Caribbean voyages, with a focus on bucket-list experiences such as viewing the Northern Lights in Norway. Additionally, there will be a 14-night Western Mediterranean voyage planned during the UK Easter holidays.
- Queen Victoria will remain a favourite among UK guests, with cruises departing directly from Southampton to Spain and Portugal, as well as a 28-night “Atlantic Islands Discovery” voyage, which promises to be an enriching experience.
