Cunard Line has announced its upcoming programme of voyages for the 2026-2027 season, featuring an extensive range of destinations and itineraries from October 2026 to April 2027. The new schedule covers 101 destinations across 57 countries, including 62 UNESCO World Heritage sites, 22 overnight port stays, and 26 late-evening departures to allow guests additional time for exploration.

The highlight of the programme is the introduction of Cunard’s newest ship, Queen Anne, which will embark on her maiden voyage to South America as part of a 78-night South America Discovery itinerary, with a notable overnight stay in Rio de Janeiro. The GBP 479 million vessel will also make inaugural calls to Casablanca (Morocco) and Bridgetown (Barbados).

In January 2027, Queen Victoria will set off on a 109-night world cruise, featuring stops in iconic cities like Hong Kong, Sydney, and Cape Town, along with first-time visits to Dakar (Senegal) and Durban (South Africa).

Meanwhile, Queen Mary 2, the line’s flagship, will offer voyages including stops in El Ferrol (Spain), and Mindelo (Sao Vicente). The ship will also sail Caribbean itineraries in December and continue her transatlantic crossings throughout the year.

Queen Elizabeth will operate a Caribbean programme from PortMiami Florida, offering 7-, 9-, and 14-night voyages between late 2026 and 2027.

Guests booking between October 16th and December 9th, 2024, can take advantage of a 10% discount on select voyages when booking Cunard Fare or Early Saver Fare options.

Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, said: they are hugely excited to reveal their "exciting new programme from October 2026 to April 2027, offering exceptional choice for every traveller."

"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.”
