Cunard unveils 190 new voyages in 2028, including Historic Four Queens Celebration | News
Cunard – the British luxury cruise brand that has been delivering elegance at sea for 185 years – has announced its 2028 program, featuring 190 extraordinary voyages in 36 countries, including the historic Four Queens Celebration in May 2028. In addition, Cunard has unveiled new inclusive options for guests with its new Signature Packages,
Cunard’s new itinerary will visit 125 ports around the world, including 98 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, from April 2028 to January 2029. The program also includes 19 overnight stays and 37 late evening departures, giving guests even more opportunities to immerse themselves in bucket-list destinations.
In addition, a landmark event will take place in Liverpool in May 2028, where all four Cunard Queens will unite for the first time, giving guests the rare opportunity to be part of history on one of the Four Queens Celebration voyages.
In another first for the brand, guests can experience the elegance of all four Cunard Queens in a single journey. Cunard’s Queen-to-Queen voyages, a collection of back-to-back sailings, allow guests to combine journeys aboard two, three or four Queens into one comprehensive luxury adventure.
The 40-night Four Queen voyage from Southampton to Civitavecchia (for Rome), from April 16, 2028 to May 26, 2028, takes in the Norwegian fjords, explores Europe’s best ports and takes part in the historic Four Queens Celebration in Liverpool.
Other program highlights include the iconic Transatlantic Crossings, Independence Day celebrations in Boston, a variety of routes to Europe from Southampton, and four fleet maiden calls for Queen Victoria, including Aberdeen in Scotland, Olbia and Taranto in Italy, and Måløy in Norway.
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: “Our new travel collection is one of the most exciting programs we have ever launched. From the historic moment when all four Queens meet in Liverpool on May 16, 2028, to the extraordinary breadth of destinations we will visit, we have carefully curated these trips to give our guests more time in port and the chance to explore the world with the signature elegance and sense of occasion that defines Cunard.”
