A new address at sea.
Let Cunard’s 249th ship, Queen Anne, become your home from home in 2024 as you explore some of the world’s most enticing locations during her inaugural season. Whether you seek plentiful sea days to enjoy the ship or a voyage on which you’ll discover a new destination almost every day, Queen Anne’s maiden voyages will not disappoint.
Be part of the celebrations as she’s greeted in ports for the very first time and watch as the ship’s Captain and local Harbour Master take part in the traditional plaque exchange. With over 30 unique ports included in her maiden season, sailing on Queen Anne’s maiden voyages offers chance to travel the world’s oceans in style, whilst turning heads in every new destination.
Lisbon, Portugal.
Other iconic Lisbon experiences include Alfama (the oldest part of the city) and a ride on a vintage tram – route 28 is highly recommended. Of course, no Lisbon call would be complete without a traditional custard tart. While you’ll find these all over the city, Pastéis de Belém’s are rumoured to be the best.
Iberia and the Canary Islands.
If it’s volcanic scenery you’re seeking, Lanzarote’s park at Timanfaya will not disappoint, while sunbathers will adore Fuerteventura’s white sands. The 16th century, San Cristóbal de La Laguna is highly recommended in Tenerife, while Gran Canaria’s capital, Las Palmas, offers sheltered waters, perfect for swimming.
The Caribbean.
In Barbados, British colonial architecture offers a glimpse back in time. St Lucia’s iconic Pitons provide an impressive backdrop to zip-lining and dolphin watching. If you’re in the mood to shop, Philipsburg’s boutiques are sure to turn up a keepsake, and on St Thomas the sapphire sea at Magens Bay will prove impossible to resist.
Norwegian fjords.
Delight in the colourful wharf buildings that line the river Nidelven in Trondheim or brave the ‘Troll Wall’ of Andalsnes, drinking in the incredible views of the surrounding valleys. Stroll pretty streets lined with art nouveau buildings in Alesund and retrace the footsteps of Vikings as you sail mighty fjords that have remained unchanged for centuries.
The Mediterranean.
The atmospheric Las Ramblas and Gaudi’s architecture are just the pinnacle of Barcelona’s appeal. Cadiz, a compact gem brimming with history, is also the gateway to Seville’s equestrian displays and vast cathedral. Discover Portugal’s atmospheric capital Lisbon, fall for the gothic charms of Palma de Mallorca, and bask in extraordinary epoch-spanning architecture in Rome.
Atlantic voyages.
Choose from a 12-night westbound voyage calling in the Azores and Florida, or a 10-night sailing with a stop in Bermuda. Just like on board, your time ashore offers the freedom to explore at your leisure. Discover Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, fall for pastel-hued houses in Hamilton, and admire gothic architecture in Ponta Delgada.
