For more than 180 years, Cunard has been taking guests on extraordinary journeys around the world. From Alaska to the Mediterranean, the Caribbean to Transatlantic Crossings – here’s what you can look forward to on this legendary British cruise line
Cunard has long set the bar high when it comes to luxury cruising, making waves more than 180 years ago when it was the first of its kind to offer regular Transatlantic Crossings from Southampton to New York.
It’s still a popular route today, and one that inspires wanderlust. But the cruise line now also takes guests to all corners of the globe, and across most of its oceans and seas.

The Cunard experience
The iconic Cunard fleet today comprises four extraordinary ships: Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Anne. The latter is the newest in the award-winning fleet, making her maiden voyage in May 2024.
Regardless of which ship you choose to cruise on, you’re guaranteed Cunard’s famous White Star Service. From the moment you board the ship until the moment you disembark, nothing is too much trouble.
That includes dining at one of your ship’s indulgent restaurants, whether you choose to dress up for Britannia Restaurant and a Gala Evening, or go more casual at the Golden Lion pub and Verandah steakhouse.
And then there’s the daily afternoon tea with champagne, served in the Queen’s Room by white-gloved waiters, a tradition that has endured through the line’s history to this day. It’s included in your fare, so why not indulge?

All of Cunard’s four Queens are the epitome of opulence, each with two main stateroom types: Britannia Staterooms and Grill Suites. Whichever you choose, you’re guaranteed exceptional amenities, dining and service.
But the Grill Suites take things to the next level. Think of these spaces as a ship within a ship, replete with spacious accommodations, living areas, ensuite bathrooms with a tub and shower, enhanced amenities and access to exclusive restaurants and lounges, as well as a private terrace. You even get a personal butler in the Queens Grill Suites.
Each ship is designed to give you the freedom of space, with plenty of stylish areas to relax and unwind. Or get active, whether in a fencing class (on select voyages), as well as Zumba and ballroom dancing. You can also develop a new interest listening to guest speakers and world-class performers, or a new skill at an extra charge in watercolour classes and other workshops.
And then when it’s time to step ashore, all manner of adventures await in some of the world’s most dreamy destinations.


Explore the Mediterranean in style with Cunard
The Mediterranean is always in style, whether you’re hopping between sun-kissed islands, dining in hidden restaurants or drinking a summer spritz in an atmospheric Medieval square. When you’re on board your Cunard ship, these destinations are brought to life through locally inspired food and drink, as well as tailored performances.
And when you’re on land you have the chance to explore fabled destinations and sights, from Barcelona to Rome, Trieste to Istanbul.
Queen Victoria is based in the Mediterranean during the European summer, with itineraries that take in some of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean. Book the 14-night Italy, France and Spain journey and you’ll have the chance to step into the birthplace of the Renaissance in Florence, savouring Tuscan cuisine and gelato. Then glide in to the French Riviera at Marseille, with its dramatic Notre Dame and Romanesque church.
On the 21-night Greece, Adriatic and Western Mediterranean itinerary you’ll spend days on Greek, Spanish and Croatian islands, discovering uncrowded beaches and exploring charming villages – and still have time for glamorous cities, whether Valletta in Malta, Barcelona in Spain or Ajaccio in Corsica, France.


Cruise with Cunard to Alaska
From its end-of-the-Earth fjords to its glaciers and wildlife, Alaska is like nature writ large. Getting to this remote part of northern America is a joy on board Queen Elizabeth, where experiences are perfectly tailored to your voyage. Dining on a Cunard ship is always a delight, but when you’re in Alaska you’re treated to local specialities including seafood fresh from the waters you’re sailing. These treats are on the menu at Queen Elizabeth’s Ice White Ball, a gala evening where you have the chance to dress up in your finery and enjoy a dining experience unlike any other at sea.
When you’re not exploring destinations like Juneau and Glacier Bay National Park on itineraries such as the 10-night Alaska voyage from Seattle, take a deep dive into the world of Alaska via the Cunard Insights enrichment program, which sees well-known explorers and experts step on board to host insightful talks, seminars and discussions that offer fascinating insight into the region’s past and present.
Cruise with Cunard to the Caribbean
The golden beaches of the Caribbean have been drawing travellers for centuries, from Costa Maya in Mexico to Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands, Montego Bay or Bridgetown in Jamaica. Imagine taking in this tropical part of the world over 21 days during the festive season on the Caribbean Celebration itinerary, which sees you celebrate Christmas and the New Year in style aboard Queen Elizabeth.
Based in Miami for the 2025/2026 northern winter, Queen Elizabeth is the ultimate way to explore the East Caribbean and West Caribbean. With space for just 2,000 passengers, there’s plenty of room on the ship to soak up the sunshine and enjoy White Star Servive in solitude on sea days.
