Westbound Transatlantic Crossing, 7 Nights, 15 Dec 2023

Southampton | At sea (6 days) | New York City

Aboard the iconic Queen Mary 2, this pre-Christmas jaunt across the pond delivers you to New York City in all its festive finery in time for gift shopping in landmark department stores such as Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s. But this trip is really all about the journey and life on board Cunard’s remarkable flagship vessel — one that includes a planetarium, pub lunches in the Golden Lion and a library with the largest book collection at sea. Life doesn’t get more luxurious than this, with gala evenings giving you the chance to dress up and indulgent dining including daily ritual signature afternoon teas.

Norway Fjords, 7 Nights, 2 June 2024

Travelling from and back to Southampton (letting you avoid airport waits and baggage restrictions), you’ll spend a week discovering the mighty Norwegian Fjords aboard the lovely Queen Anne (Cunard's brand new ship). Cruises give you the best vantage point over this ancient region with its pretty palette of blues, greys, and greens punctuated by grazing wild ponies and its pure white-sand beaches. From Haugesund you might choose to tour Karmoy Island with its ancient grave mounds and tall memorial stones, or to marvel at Langfoss waterfall.

British Isles, 12 Nights, 30 Aug 2024

This trip immerses you in British cities and landscapes over the course of nearly two weeks. Sailing aboard glorious Queen Mary 2, you’ll enjoy calls ashore in England, Scotland and Ireland, including an overnight stay in Liverpool with its rich maritime history. Among your sightseeing possibilities en route are Loch Lomond and the working Glengoyne distillery.

Istanbul, Greek Islands and Spain, 14 Nights, 30 Sept 2024

This is a blissful two-week week fly-voyage aboard Queen Victoria from one of our favourite cities, the Catalan capital Barcelona, in search of some of the most fascinating highlights of Greece and Turkey, including Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia and Mykonos with its spellbinding blue-domed skyline. Among the amazing stop-offs in store are the ancient city in the Turkish Aegean region, excavated remains reflecting centuries of history from classical Greece to the Roman Empire.

Barcelona to Southampton, 7 Nights, 14 Oct 2024

This week-long sailing from Spain to the UK aboard Queen Victoria gives you the opportunity to discover some of the highlights of both Spain and Portugal as you make your way out of the Med and up the Atlantic coast. Along the way, you’ll get the chance to sip sherry in Jerez and savour pasteis de nata in Lisbon. One of our favourite stop-offs is Granada (from Malaga), with the chance to take in the magnificence of the Moorish Alhambra Palace and Gardens.
