Introducing Cunard’s exciting new voyages for 2027 and beyond

Why choose Cunard?

A voyage with Cunard is a timeless adventure. Renowned for their iconic White Star Service, Cunard’s sailings offer the perfect harmony of elegance, comfort, and personalised experiences. Think fine dining designed by Michelin-starred chefs, Broadway-class performances, and a sense of indulgence that lingers from sunrise to starry night. Each Cunard ship is a destination in its own right. Take Queen Anne, the line’s newest ship, where contemporary design meets British craftsmanship to create an unforgettable on-board experience, or Queen Victoria, with her warm interiors and expansive glass-roofed Winter Garden, is a favourite for relaxation seekers. At the same time Queen Mary 2 – the world’s only true ocean liner – marries grand tradition with modern luxury.

Spotlight Sailings for 2027-2028

Queen Anne and the Northern Lights

Step aboard Cunard’s newest ship, Queen Anne, for a dazzling sailing through Northern Europe. You’ll glide into Alta in Norway, where long winter nights set the perfect stage for the shimmering auroras of the Northern Lights to dance overhead. A visit to Tromsø, the Arctic capital, promises exhilarating adventures or perhaps you’ll choose to sip traditional mulled wine as you take in towering fjords.

Back on board Queen Anne, you’ll find perfectly curated luxury – from chic lounges and afternoon tea to an open-air pool deck where you can sip cocktails as the scenery shifts. Spacious staterooms and Cunard’s signature service ensure you feel pampered at every turn. Whether exploring ashore or reclining on deck, every moment feels like a masterpiece.

Queen Victoria in Iceland

For those craving untouched natural beauty, embark on a voyage with Queen Victoria on a spectacular Icelandic adventure. This itinerary is designed for exploration, with stops in Reykjavik, Akureyri, and Isafjördur. Spend two full days in Reykjavik, where bubbling geysers and sprawling waterfalls are balanced by the city’s hip art scene. Then venture to Akureyri, wrapped by snow-capped mountains, and Isafjördur, where Iceland’s rugged appeal meets endless views of the Atlantic.

Aboard Queen Victoria, her smaller size adds an intimate touch. The Winter Garden, a glass-covered sanctuary, is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet morning with a book, or the unmatched views of Icelandic fjords from her Promenade Deck. Expect exceptional service, fine dining, and a sense of tailored luxury that makes your Icelandic adventure that little bit more special.

Magic and Fireworks in Madeira

Ring in the New Year like never before with a Cunard sailing that includes a late departure from Funchal. Famed for hosting one of the world’s most renowned fireworks displays, Madeira transforms into a glittering showstopper on New Year’s Eve. From your spot on deck, enjoy a front-row view of an explosive, sky-brightening spectacle that reflects across a serene Atlantic Ocean. Whether you’re exploring the bustling streets of Funchal or raising a toast to a new year aboard your ship, this itinerary perfectly blends culture, celebration, and the unforgettable Cunard touch.

These voyages go on sale on 12th June, and when you book before 1st September you'll save 10%*, so there never been a better time to get in touch with your Travel Counsellor and book one of these amazing trips.

Why the Douro should be your next river cruise

24 July 2026

River cruising has a wonderful way of slowing the pace of travel, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in a destination rather than simply passing through it. That couldn't have been more true for our Head Office colleague, Janet Whitingham, who recently returned from Riviera Travel's ‘Highlights of the Douro Valley & Salamanca’ itinerary on board MS Riviera Rose. Sailing through one of Europe's oldest wine regions, Janet discovered a journey that combines spectacular scenery, charming riverside towns, exceptional food and wine, and fascinating history - all while unpacking only once.
