Cunard is charting a bold new course for 2027 with the launch of 195 new voyages spanning 115 destinations across 32 countries. The freshly announced itinerary program, available between April 2027 and January 2028, includes a number of maiden calls, overnight stays, and curated multi-ship adventures aimed at both seasoned cruisers and new travelers looking to explore the world in classic Cunard style.

The global schedule features four maiden calls for Queen Anne, including Sorrento, Italy, and La Rochelle, France, while Queen Mary 2 will make Cunard’s first-ever visit to Charlottetown, Canada. Queen Elizabeth will stop in Trieste, Italy, and Calvi, France, and Queen Victoria will make her first call in Riga, Latvia.

“This new program is all about giving our guests more choice and more unforgettable voyages,” said Katie McAlister, president of Cunard. “Whether it’s Queen Anne visiting new destinations, Queen Elizabeth returning to favourite ports in the Med, or Queen Mary 2 sailing iconic routes with her usual style, there’s something to suit every kind of traveler.”

Queen Elizabeth Returns to Europe

Making a full return to Europe in 2027, Queen Elizabeth will sail from May through October, with 65 new voyages covering 22 ports not visited in 15 years. These Mediterranean journeys will range from 7 to 28 nights, offering cultural stops in ancient cities like Istanbul and culinary havens such as Palermo, Sicily.

Queen Mary 2: Transatlantic Elegance and North American Charms

Fresh from a major refit, Queen Mary 2 will resume her signature Transatlantic Crossings, while also embarking on immersive cruises to Norway, Canada, New England, and the Caribbean. Guests can ring in Independence Day in Boston on July 4, 2027, and enjoy a Caribbean holiday season complete with sun-soaked beaches.

Queen Anne: Mediterranean and Northern Delights

As Cunard’s newest vessel, Queen Anne will set sail from Southampton on a wide range of voyages from Mediterranean sun escapes to Nordic adventures in pursuit of the Northern Lights. The schedule includes extended port time in Barcelona and Copenhagen, as well as a New Year’s Eve stop in Madeira, timed for the island’s renowned fireworks display.

Queen Victoria: Exploring the North and Beyond

Queen Victoria will continue her round-trip voyages from Southampton, heading to Scandinavia, Iceland, and the Mediterranean. Notably, she will call at Grundarfjordur, Iceland, marking Cunard’s return to the port for the first time since 2009.

New Ways to Sail: Queen-to-Queen Voyages

For travelers who can’t choose just one ship, Cunard is introducing Queen-to-Queen Voyages, allowing guests to combine sailings across two or even three of its legendary Queens. With 18 overnight port calls, 33 late-evening departures, and access to 93 UNESCO World Heritage sites, these new itineraries elevate the possibilities for deep exploration and cultural enrichment.

Bookings for Cunard World Club members open at 6 a.m. PDT on June 11, 2025, with general public sales beginning June 12. For more details or to secure a voyage, visit www.cunard.com.
