Queen Elizabeth sets sail on a 115-night world voyage
The season introduces seven maiden port calls across the fleet, including Cunard’s first-ever visit to Praia in Cape Verde.
Queen Elizabeth will operate a 115-night world voyage visiting destinations across New Zealand, Australia, Asia and South Africa, with overnight stays in cities including Cape Town, Singapore, Hong Kong and Sydney. The selection includes Thanksgiving and Christmas sailings, along with a New Year’s Eve voyage featuring fireworks in St Thomas.
Meanwhile, Queen Anne will return to South America on an 86-night voyage featuring extended calls throughout the continent and an overnight stay in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival. Guests can also embark in Hamburg for an extended 90-night sailing.
The programme includes overnight calls in Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Valparaiso and Callao. These extended visits offer more time to explore the destinations, with opportunities to discover local food, architecture and cultural attractions at a more relaxed pace.
Finally, Queen Victoria will offer new Scandinavian and Northern European itineraries, taking in the landscapes of Norway and the islands of the Atlantic. New seven-, 14- and 16-night sailings provide options for different holiday schedules.
Winter travellers can choose a February half-term voyage featuring an overnight stay in Oslo. A longer Scandinavian itinerary includes overnight calls in both Copenhagen and Oslo, giving guests additional time to discover the cities’ museums, restaurants and waterfront districts.
Bookings open first to Cunard World Club members on November 3 2026 ahead of general sale on November 4.
