Queen Mary 2

Queen Mary 2’s new voyages invite you to explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites on both sides of the Atlantic. Find yourself transported to the pages of a fairytale in Old Quebec, walking streets that have welcomed visitors for centuries, on this Transatlantic voyage around Canada, which includes an overnight stop in Quebec City. A similar feeling awaits on a tour to Bruges from Zeebrugge. Just inland from its coastal neighbour, this medieval settlement never fails to enchant. The historic wharf of Bryggen makes for a pleasant stroll in Bergen. A voyage calling at Lisbon offers a gateway to the Cultural Landscape of Sintra, with its synergy of Egyptian, Moorish, and Renaissance architecture. A Caribbean sailing brings you closer to Mother Nature’s handiwork, which can be admired in the twin peaks of the Pitons Management area on a tour from Castries in Saint Lucia.

Queen Victoria

Whether you’re fascinated by ancient history, or perhaps you appreciate the intricacies of manmade architecture, the UNESCO sites you could see on a voyage with Queen Victoria are varied and plentiful. A voyage to Amsterdam brings you close to unique sites like the Rietveld Schröder House, considered the truest architectural interpretation of Dutch art movement, De Stijl. The ancient Castle of the Teutonic Order is within reach with a cruise to Gdynia in Poland, offering a chance to understand the lives of the dedicated religious devotees who once lived here. You could walk among the date palms of the peaceful Palmeral of Elche during a Mediterranean voyage that calls in Alicante. And the Medieval and Neoclassical architecture of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh will give your camera a workout on a tour from South Queensferry, a memorable port of call on this British Isles cruise.

Queen Elizabeth

Historical UNESCO wonders abound on Queen Elizabeth’s voyages this season. Perhaps you’ve always longed to visit Valletta, Malta’s island capital, where 320 monuments whisper the legacies of centuries gone by. During a cruise to Civitavecchia, tour and take in Vatican City, home to St Peter’s Basilica and the world-famous Sistine Chapel. Venturing inside Old Kotor’s defensive fortifications in Montenegro brings you face-to-face with structures dating back to Roman and Byzantine times. A Queen Elizabeth call to Split put you in reach of the Historic City of Trogir, a harmony of Romanesque, Renaissance, and Baroque buildings. And a call in Calvi or Ajaccio isn’t complete without seeing the Scandola peninsula – an oasis of marine and bird life, where rocky outcrops vanish into crystal waters.

Queen Anne

With more than 30 UNESCO sites on Queen Anne’s new voyages, which will you tick off your list? Perhaps the wetlands of Doñana National Park on a tour during a call at Cadiz, seeing how many of the 230 migratory bird species you can spot. You could visit both the Kinderdijk windmills and Van Nellefabriek in the same weekend on an overnight in Rotterdam or explore over 800 years of European architecture at Denmark’s Roskilde Cathedral from Copenhagen. The colourful façades of the Central Zone of the Town of Angra do Heroísmo are waiting to transport you to another time in the Azores. Plus, in the Historic Centre of Brugge, take endless photos of the beautiful canals and colourful Renaissance buildings on a tour during a voyage to Zeebrugge.
