Cunard launches Queen Elizabeth’s 2025 Alaska season
12 December 2023 [Southampton, UK]
Sailing roundtrip from Seattle, the luxury cruise line can reveal that Queen Elizabeth will offer 11 voyages in Alaska, ranging from 7 to 11 nights, from 12 June until 25 September.
Voyages will be available to book from 2pm GMT today (12 December) exclusively for Cunard World Club Members, with bookings available to all from 2pm tomorrow 13 December.
Whether whale watching from their stateroom or exploring The Great Land on shore, only on Queen Elizabeth can guests immerse themselves in Alaska and experience a world of unique opportunities and unexpected inspiration. With Alaska Native Voices onboard, including a Cultural Heritage Guide, plus a Naturalist on every sailing to provide distinctive deck commentary, there's no better way to experience the majestic scenery and local culture of Alaska than with Cunard.
With 24 late evening departures, guests will have an abundance of time to explore port cities such as Ketchikan, adorned with colourful totem poles, or Sitka, where 22 buildings have earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places.
The truly stunning Hubbard Glacier is a must-see for travellers exploring this beautiful region, and in Icy Strait Point, guests can join a whale-watching expedition or experience the thrill of riding the world's largest zipline.
Meanwhile, the UNESCO-listed Glacier Bay National Park, with its ice-capped mountains and towering glaciers, promises to be a highlight of any Alaska voyage. Other calls include Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord, Endicott Arm, and Hubbard Glacier.
On board Queen Elizabeth, guests will be fully immersed in the Alaska experience. Renowned explorers and accomplished adventurers will share their heroic feats, providing a unique educational component to the journey. This season we are honoured to have onboard the legendary mountaineer Kenton Cool, the fearless polar skier Preet Chandi, and the acclaimed wildlife filmmaker Doug Allen. Their expertise promises to elevate each voyage and we can only imagine that 2025 will bring an even more extraordinary line-up of captivating programming.
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard said: “We are incredibly excited to offer guests the new opportunity of sailing roundtrip into Alaska from Seattle. Due to strong guest demand, Cunard is offering a full summer season in Alaska, allowing travellers to delve into the region's wildlife and visit extraordinary cities, with extended time in port to fully appreciate this captivating destination.”
To delve even further in the Alaskan culture, guests on board will savour indigenous flavours foraged from land and sea, for a dining experience that complements the breath-taking surroundings, while indulging in cocktails inspired by Alaska's glacial scenery.
