Embark on a Journey of Wonder with Cunard's 2026 Alaska Voyages

Cunard, a name synonymous with luxury cruising, has recently announced its highly anticipated Alaska 2026 program, featuring the majestic Queen Elizabeth. This exquisite ship will embark on a series of captivating round-trip voyages from Seattle, offering guests the opportunity to explore the stunning natural beauty of Alaska from May to September 2026.

Exciting Itineraries Await

During this season, the Queen Elizabeth will operate 15 roundtrip itineraries that vary in duration from seven to twelve nights. What makes this offering even more enticing are the extended cruise options of up to 42 nights, which allow travelers to experience not just the rugged landscapes of Alaska but also the sun-kissed beauty of the Caribbean and the iconic Panama Canal.

A striking feature of Cunard’s 2026 season is its special focus on the renowned Panama Canal, offering eight unique voyages. These sailings will enable guests to navigate through tropical jungles and witness the engineering marvel that is the Canal, traversing 50 miles of locks and waterways between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Destinations and Experiences

The Queen Elizabeth will visit 31 remarkable destinations across 16 countries, including notable stops in Colón, Panama, and Bridgetown, Barbados. Beginning at 5 a.m. PT on January 8, 2025, these voyages are now available for booking, and early reservations can qualify guests for up to $800 onboard credit per stateroom. This onboard credit can be utilized for various indulgent experiences, including spa treatments, exquisite fine dining, and unique excursions.

As the ship glides through Alaska’s glacier-filled waters, guests will have the chance to witness humpback whales in their natural habitat. The voyages will allow for immersive experiences into the very heart of Alaska's natural wonders, where tidewater glaciers and reflective waters await.

Explore Alaska

Cunard’s signature luxury is also reflected in the allure of Alaska's vibrant ports of call. Each port visit offers a chance for exploration and adventure. Ketchikan greets guests with its vibrant totem poles; Juneau, known for its rich gold mining history, beckons history buffs; and Haines presents an excellent opportunity for outdoor activities such as kayaking.

Visitors will not want to miss Alaska’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites, like Glacier Bay National Park and Hubbard Glacier, which are two highlights of any expedition to this remarkable region.

Pricing and Special Offers

Prices for a 10-night journey from Seattle to Alaska (Q620) during July 2026 start at $2069 per person, based on double occupancy in a Britannia Balcony stateroom. Cunard’s President, Katie McAlister, expresses her excitement about Alaska as a truly unique destination in the cruise line's future offerings. She emphasizes that “Sailing through its spectacular fjords and seeing the immense glaciers is an experience like no other.”

Onboard, guests can indulge in regionally inspired cocktails and enjoy culinary delights influenced by local flavors, alongside captivating narratives from experienced guest speakers.
