Cunard has announced its 2028 deployment programme, featuring 190 voyages across 36 countries and a major fleet gathering in Liverpool that will bring together all four Cunard Queens for the first time.

The programme runs from April 2028 through January 2029 and includes sailings to 125 ports worldwide, with itineraries incorporating 98 UNESCO World Heritage sites, 19 overnight stays, and 37 late-evening departures.

A central focus of the deployment will be the Four Queens Celebration in Liverpool on May 16th, 2028, when Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, and Queen Anne are scheduled to meet simultaneously.

The event will also form part of a new series of Queen-to-Queen voyages allowing passengers to combine itineraries across multiple ships in a single journey.

One highlighted itinerary is a 40-night sailing from Southampton to Civitavecchia departing April 16th, 2028, which includes Norwegian fjord calls, European ports, and the Liverpool fleet gathering.

“Our new voyage collection is one of the most exciting programmes we’ve ever launched,” said Katie McAlister, President, Cunard. “From the historic moment all four Queens meet in Liverpool on 16 May 2028 to the extraordinary breadth of destinations we will visit.”

“We have thoughtfully curated these voyages to give our guests more time in port, and the chance to explore the world with the signature elegance and sense of occasion that defines Cunard,” she said.

The deployment includes several maiden calls for the fleet, particularly for Queen Victoria, which is scheduled to visit Aberdeen in Scotland, Måløy in Norway, and the Italian ports of Olbia and Taranto for the first time.

Queen Mary 2’s programme includes a series of transatlantic crossings, Mediterranean voyages, and itineraries to Northern Europe, Canada, and the Caribbean. Among the highlights are an overnight stay in Boston during Independence Day celebrations, a return to Gaspé in Canada after an 11-year absence, and Northern Lights voyages featuring calls in Tromsø and Norway’s North Cape region.

Queen Victoria will focus primarily on European itineraries from Southampton, including extended stays in Stockholm, Reykjavík, Oslo, and Copenhagen. The ship is also set to return to Mediterranean destinations including Albania, Cyprus, Turkey, and Tunisia for the first time in more than a decade.

Queen Elizabeth’s summer 2028 deployment centres on Mediterranean itineraries, with voyages visiting Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, and Italy. The ship is scheduled to make a maiden call in Bari and will include an overnight stay in Istanbul.

Meanwhile, Queen Anne will continue operating from Southampton with voyages to Scandinavia, Northern Europe, France, Spain, Portugal, the Arctic, and the Canary Islands. The vessel is also scheduled to make a maiden call at Le Verdon in France.
