Cunard has published its itineraries for 2024/24 and said the programme includes over 130 voyages to 159 destinations and four ships, including 30 maiden calls for Queen Anne and five fleet maiden calls for Queen Elizabeth.

A 38-night adventure in June 2024 will start with a trip around the Mediterranean on board Queen Victoria, then embarking on Queen Anne for a voyage from Rome to Southampton before travelling across the Atlantic on Queen Mary 2 and then flying to Vancouver to meet Queen Elizabeth for the final leg in Alaska.

Queen Elizabeth

Departing from Vancouver on a series of nine and 11-night roundtrip voyages between May and September 2024, Queen Elizabeth’s itineraries offer a mixture of scenic cruising with ports of call including Ketchikan and Sitka. “A number of voyages visit the jewel in Alaska’s crown, the Glacier Bay National Park, and Hubbard Glacier, another stunning highlight,” the company said in a statement.

From early October, Queen Elizabeth will sail a mixture of short and long voyages in Australian waters before heading to Japan, where highlights include a nine-night Golden Week voyage and a 19-night Grand Voyage to Nagasaki, Yokohama – the gateway to neon-lit Tokyo, and Osaka.

Queen Anne

Cunard’s latest programme will also include a number of firsts for its newest ship Queen Anne. In January 2025, it will embark on its maiden Transatlantic Crossing, going westbound from Southampton to New York, before a World Voyage of 111 nights visiting more than 30 ports in five continents.  Nine overnight calls are also included, in ports such as San Francisco, Honolulu and Singapore.

Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria

Between January and May 2025, the fleet’s flagship Queen Mary 2 will combine Transatlantic crossings with visits to multiple destinations across Europe and the Americas, while Queen Victoria embarks on a 78-night South American cruise from Southampton to Brazil, Chile, and Ecuador.

Sture Myrmell, President, Carnival UK, said in the statement: “We’re so excited to share our newest programme featuring some fantastic itineraries and – with over 130 to choose from – you’ll certainly be spoiled for choice. Whether you want to wander Europe’s historic streets on a short break, channel your adventurous side trying street food across Asia, or savour the sunsets in Hawaii, Cunard has a voyage for you.”
