Cunard has released its full 2028 cruise program, featuring 190 voyages in 36 countries, including the line’s first-ever Four Queens Celebration in May 2028 and the line’s first-ever Queen-to-Queen voyages, a collection of back-to-back sailings that allow guests to combine voyages onboard two, three, or all four of Cunard’s ships in one trip.
Additionally, Cunard revealed new inclusive opportunities for guests with its new Signature Packages.
In total, Cunard will visit 125 ports worldwide, including 98 UNESCO World Heritage sites for its new program of voyages from April 2028 to January 2029. The program also includes 19 overnight stays and 37 late-evening departures.
In addition, a landmark moment will take place in Liverpool in May 2028 when all four Cunard Queens will unite for the first time.
“Our new voyage collection is one of the most exciting programs we’ve ever launched,” said Katie McAlister, president of Cunard. “From the historic moment all four Queens meet in Liverpool on May 16, 2028, to the extraordinary breadth of destinations we will visit. We have thoughtfully curated these voyages 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.”
Queen Mary 2
The world’s only ocean liner, Queen Mary 2, offers the signature Cunard transatlantic crossing experience, including its first-ever eastbound crossing from New York to Liverpool for the Four Queens Celebration.
Beyond the Atlantic, Cunard’s flagship will offer voyages around the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Canada, and the Caribbean. Highlights include an overnight stay in Boston for Independence Day celebrations, a return to Gaspé, Canada, for the first time in 11 years, a North Cape voyage in Norway and an overnight stay in Tromsø, Norway during a Northern Lights voyage.
Queen Victoria
Sailing roundtrip from Southampton, Queen Victoria’s 2028 program focuses on immersive European itineraries, including exploring Scandinavia and Northern Europe. For warmer escapes, Queen Victoria will call at Mediterranean destinations for the first time in more than a decade, calling at ports in Albania, Cyprus, Turkey, and Tunisia, alongside the fleet maiden visits to Olbia and Taranto in Italy.
Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth will spend summer 2028 exploring the Mediterranean. From Croatia and Montenegro to Greece, guests can discover sun-washed coastlines, turquoise waters, and cultures shaped by centuries of history, cuisine and tradition.
Highlights include a maiden visit to Bari, the capital of Puglia, Italy, and an overnight stay in Istanbul, with a chance to see the city’s historic landmarks, including the Hagia Sophia illuminated after dark.
Queen Anne
Cunard’s newest ship, Queen Anne, will begin its 2028 season in Scandinavia and Northern Europe, including a spectacular overnight stay in Liverpool for the Four Queens Celebration.
Sailing from Southampton, it will offer a variety of seven-night roundtrip voyages alternating between Norway’s fjords and sunlit escapes to France, Spain and Portugal, including a maiden call to Le Verdon, the gateway to Bordeaux’s renowned wine region.
Guests can enjoy overnight stays in Oslo, Copenhagen and Lisbon, as well as late-evening departures from La Palma and La Rochelle. Longer voyages include Arctic explorations and extended Canary Islands itineraries.
