The programme includes more than 130 voyages to 159 destinations across the Cunard fleet, including 30 maiden calls for Queen Anne and five fleet maiden calls for Queen Elizabeth.
Sture Myrmell, president, Carnival UK referenced short breaks in Europe to the opportunity to sample street food across Asia to seeing sunsets in Hawaii. ‘Better still, when you’re not off exploring a new destination, you can relax in luxury onboard, enjoy fascinating Insight talks, innovative theatre and a variety of fine dining options,’ he added.
The sailings will be available to book from 1 p.m. GMT on March 15 exclusively for Cunard World Club Members. General sales begin at 1 p.m. GMT on March 16.
A cruise with all four ships
Among the highlights is a 38-night journey in June 2024 incorporating all ships: Passengers can start with a trip around the Mediterranean onboard Queen Victoria, then embark Queen Anne for a voyage from Rome to Southampton and travel across the Atlantic on Queen Mary 2, before flying to Vancouver to meet Queen Elizabeth for the final leg of the journey in Alaska.
Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth will depart from Vancouver on a series of nine- and 11-night round-trip voyages between May and September 2024. The itineraries offer a mixture of scenic cruising with iconic ports of call, including Ketchikan and Sitka, where passengers can discover the cultures and local traditions of Alaska.
Eight voyages will visit Alaska’s Glacier Bay National Park, whilst four voyages will visit Hubbard Glacier in Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve in eastern Alaska and Kluane National Park and Reserve in Yukon, Canada.
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 (for Tokyo) and Osaka.
Queen Anne
The programme also includes a number of firsts for the line’s newest ship. In January 2025, Queen Anne will embark on its maiden trans-Atlantic crossing, going westbound from Southampton to New York. The ship will then begin its first-ever world voyage, lasting 111 nights and involving visits to more than 30 ports in five continents. Nine overnight calls are also included at 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 its trans-Atlantic crossings with visits to destinations across Europe and the Americas, while Queen Victoria embarks on a 78-night South American cruise from Southampton to Brazil, Chile and Ecuador.
