Cunard unveils 190 new voyages for 2028 including historic Four Queens Celebration

6 May 2026 [Southampton, UK]

Cunard has announced its 2028 programme, featuring 190 extraordinary voyages in 36 countries, including a historic Four Queens Celebration in May 2028.

The British luxury cruise line will visit 125 ports worldwide, including 98 UNESCO World Heritage sites for its new programme of sailings, from April 2028 to January 2029. The programme also includes 19 overnight stays and 37 late-evening departures, giving guests even more opportunities to discover bucket list destinations.

A landmark moment will take place in Liverpool where all four Cunard Queens will unite for the first time, giving guests the rare opportunity to be part of history on one of the Four Queens Celebration voyages.

In another first for the brand, guests can experience the elegance of all four Cunard Queens in one single journey. Cunard’s Queen-to-Queen voyages, a collection of back-to-back sailings, allow guests to combine voyages on board two, three or four Queens in one extended luxury adventure.

The four-Queen 40-night voyage from Southampton to Civitavecchia (for Rome), from 16 April 2028 to 26 May 2028, takes in the Norwegian Fjords, explores Europe’s best ports, and joins the landmark Four Queens Celebration in Liverpool.

Additional programme highlights include iconic Transatlantic Crossings, Independence Day celebrations in Boston, a wide variety of itineraries to Europe from Southampton, and four fleet maiden calls for Queen Victoria including Aberdeen, Scotland, Olbia and Taranto, in Italy and Måløy, in Norway.

Queen Mary 2

The world’s only ocean liner, Queen Mary 2, offers her signature Cunard experience on iconic Transatlantic Crossings, including her first-ever eastbound crossing from New York to Liverpool for the Four Queens Celebration.

Beyond the Atlantic, Cunard’s flagship will offer voyages around the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Canada and the Caribbean.

Highlights include an overnight stay in Boston for Independence Day celebrations, a return to Gaspé, Canada, for the first time in 11 years, a North Cape voyage in Norway and an overnight stay in Tromsø, Norway during a Northern Lights voyage

Queen Victoria

Sailing roundtrip from Southampton, Queen Victoria’s 2028 programme focuses on immersive European itineraries.

Travel north to Scandinavia and Northern Europe, where overnight stays in Stockholm, Reykjavík, Oslo, and Copenhagen provide extended time ashore, while late evening departures within the Arctic Circle offer exceptional opportunities to witness the spectacular Northern Lights.

For warmer escapes, Queen Victoria will call at Mediterranean destinations for the first time in more than a decade, calling at destinations including Albania, Cyprus, Turkey, and Tunisia, alongside the fleet maiden visits to Olbia and Taranto in Italy.

Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth will spend summer 2028 exploring the Mediterranean. From Croatia and Montenegro to Greece, guests can discover sun-washed coastlines, turquoise waters, and cultures shaped by centuries of history, cuisine, and tradition.

Highlights include a maiden visit to Bari, the capital of Puglia, Italy, and an overnight stay in Istanbul, with a chance to see the city’s historic landmarks, including the Hagia Sophia illuminated after dark.

Queen Anne

Cunard's newest ship, Queen Anne, will begin her 2028 season in Scandinavia and Northern Europe, including a spectacular overnight stay in Liverpool for the Four Queens Celebration.

Sailing from Southampton, she will offer a variety of seven-night roundtrip voyages alternating between Norway’s dramatic fjords and sunlit escapes to France, Spain and Portugal, including a maiden call to Le Verdon, the gateway to Bordeaux’s renowned wine region.

Guests can enjoy overnight stays in Oslo, Copenhagen and Lisbon, as well as late-evening departures from La Palma and La Rochelle. Longer voyages include Arctic explorations and extended Canary Islands itineraries. 

Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: “Our new voyage collection is one of the most exciting programmes we’ve ever launched. From the historic moment all four Queens meet in Liverpool on 16 May 2028 to the extraordinary breadth of destinations we will visit. We have thoughtfully curated these voyages to give our guests more time in port, and the chance to explore the world with the signature elegance and sense of occasion that defines Cunard.”
