On June 2, 2025, Cunard announced an exciting expansion of its cruise offerings, revealing a total of 195 new itineraries that span 115 unique destinations from April 2027 to January 2028. This expansive program is filled with opportunities for travelers to experience some of the world’s most beloved locales, including 93 UNESCO World Heritage sites and a variety of curated excursions designed to enrich each journey.
Highlights of the New Itineraries
Among the standout features of this announcement is the introduction of new ports for the cruise line’s latest ship, Queen Anne. This ship will make its maiden calls at several iconic locations, such as Sorrento in Italy and La Rochelle in France, alongside Cunard’s flagship, Queen Mary 2, which will dock in Charlottetown, Canada for the first time. Additionally, Queen Victoria will visit the picturesque Riga, Latvia, while Queen Elizabeth will charm guests with maiden stops in Trieste, Italy and Calvi, France.
Cunard’s President, Katie McAlister, emphasized the importance of providing a broader selection of travel experiences to their guests, stating, "This new program is all about giving our guests more choice and unforgettable voyages. Whether it's Queen Anne visiting new destinations, Queen Elizabeth returning to favorite ports in the Med, or Queen Mary 2 sailing iconic routes with her usual style, there's something to suit every kind of traveler."
Port Highlights and Experiences
Queen Elizabeth is set to return to Europe, embarking on Mediterranean voyages from May to October, visiting 22 ports that she hasn't seen in the last 15 years. With a diverse range of voyages lasting between seven to 28 nights, travelers will have the opportunity to explore ancient cities and indulge in the culinary delights of places like Palermo in Sicily and the rich culture of Istanbul.
Meanwhile, Queen Mary 2 will showcase its recent refurbishments by continuing the tradition of the iconic Transatlantic Crossings and introducing immersive itineraries to destinations such as Norway, Canada, and the Caribbean. A notable highlight will be her presence in Boston for Independence Day celebrations on July 4, 2027.
As the newest addition to the fleet, Queen Anne will offer a mix of Mediterranean getaways and thrilling Nordic expeditions, complete with late-evening stops, including a spectacular New Year’s Eve in Madeira. Queen Victoria, on the other hand, will return to the UK for inspiring round-trip voyages from Southampton, taking guests on discovery journeys across Scandinavia, Iceland, and more.
