Cunard has announced it will add more than 40 new voyages and its ships will call at 101 unique destinations around the globe in 2026 and 2027.
The new voyages will span Cunard’s fleet of four ships: flagship Queen Mary 2, its newest vessel Queen Anne, as well as Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.
The new itineraries will span 101 unique destinations across 57 countries, including 62 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
There are 22 overnight port calls and 26 late-evening departures. Among the highlights are two maiden calls for the fleet: Ferrol, Spain and Acajutla, El Salvador – both aboard Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria will also visit Australia during her World Voyage.
“We are hugely excited to reveal our exciting new programme from October 2026 to April 2027, offering exceptional choice for every traveller,” said Katie McAlister, President of Cunard.
“Whether you’re soaking up the excitement in Rio during Carnival or toasting New Year’s Eve in Amsterdam, Cunard’s voyages allow you to explore the world in unparalleled luxury,” said McAlister.
Queen Anne, the newest addition to the Cunard fleet, will make her maiden call to South America as part of her 78-night South America Discovery voyage, which includes an overnight stay in Rio de Janeiro. She will also make maiden calls to Casablanca in Morocco and Bridgetown in Barbados, among others.
Queen Victoria will set sail for a 109-night World Voyage beginning in January 2027, visiting Hong Kong, Singapore and Cape Town. She will also make maiden calls to Dakar in Senegal and Durban in South Africa.
There are a number of options for Australians to sail from or to Sydney such as the 18-night Los Angeles to Sydney voyage via Hawaii, Fiji and New Caledonia in February 2027; or the 26-night Sydney to Singapore sailing with calls to Airlie Beach and Vietnam in February 2027.
Queen Mary 2 will explore the UNESCO World Heritage site of Santiago de Compostela on a tour from El Ferrol to an overnight call in Mindelo on the Cape Verde Island of Sao Vincente.
Queen Elizabeth will continue to operate a Caribbean programme from Miami in late 2026 and into 2027, with a variety voyages ranging from seven to 14 nights.
