Cunard Line has unveiled its latest programme of global voyages with 195 new itineraries across its fleet, visiting 115 destinations in 32 countries between April 2027 and January 2028.

The new itineraries include 93 UNESCO World Heritage sites, 18 overnight port calls, and 33 late-evening departures.

Among the highlights are four maiden calls for Queen Anne, including Sorrento in Italy and La Rochelle in France, as well as a maiden call for Cunard when Queen Mary 2 sails to Charlottetown in Canada.

Queen Victoria will also enjoy a first visit to Riga, Latvia, with Queen Elizabeth enjoying maiden calls to Trieste in Italy and Calvi in France.

“This new programme is all about giving our guests more choice and more unforgettable voyages,” said Katie McAlister, President of Cunard. “Whether it’s Queen Anne visiting new destinations, Queen Elizabeth returning to favourite ports in the Med, or Queen Mary 2 sailing iconic routes with her usual style, there’s something to suit every kind of traveller.” 

“From exploring remarkable places to enjoying exceptional experiences on board, we’re proud to offer voyages that feel truly special from start to finish,” she added.

The Cunard fleet:

Queen Anne in Cape Town, South Africa

Queen Anne – As the newest addition to the Cunard fleet, Queen Anne will offer a variety of roundtrip voyages from Southampton to the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Highlights include extended time in Barcelona and Copenhagen, as well as a late-evening New Year’s Eve call in Maderia to witness the fireworks.

Queen Mary 2 in Dubai, UAE

Queen Mary 2 – Fresh from a major refit in early 2027, Queen Mary 2 will continue to offer Transatlantic Crossings, as well as immersive itineraries to Norway, Canada, New England, North Cape and the Caribbean – where guests can spend Christmas and New Year. She will also spend Independence Day on July 4th, 2027 in Boston.

Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria – Queen Victoria will return to the UK to operate roundtrip Southampton voyages, including discovery itineraries such as Scandinavia, Iceland and the Mediterranean. Queen Victoria will also visit Grundarfjordur, Iceland in 2027 – the first time a Cunard ship has called since 2009. 

Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth – Queen Elizabeth will return to Europe in 2027, with Mediterranean voyages from May until October, visiting 22 ports she hasn’t visited for 15 years. The 65 new voyages boast itineraries varying from seven nights to 28, taking in visits to many ancient cities on the continent, from the foodie scene of Palermo in Sicily to the cultural richness of Istanbul.

Cunard Line will also continue to offer its Queen-to-Queen voyages in 2027, on which guests can book multiple voyages and experience two, or even three, of the line’s ships in one holiday.
