Cunard launches 195 new voyages, visiting 115 destinations across the globe
VALENCIA, Calif., June 2, 2025 /CNW/ -- Cunard has unveiled its latest program of extraordinary voyages with 195 new itineraries across its iconic fleet, visiting 115 destinations in 32 countries between April 2027 and January 2028.
The new itineraries include 93 UNESCO World Heritage sites. With 18 overnight port calls and 33 late-evening departures, the new program offers guests even more opportunities to explore the world.
Among the highlights are four maiden calls for Queen Anne, including Sorrento in Italy and La Rochelle in France, as well as a maiden call for Cunard when Queen Mary 2 sails to Charlottetown in Canada. Queen Victoria will also enjoy a first visit to Riga, Latvia, with Queen Elizabeth enjoying maiden calls to Trieste in Italy and Calvi in France.
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: "This new program is all about giving our guests more choice and more unforgettable voyages. Whether it's Queen Anne visiting new destinations, Queen Elizabeth returning to favourite ports in the Med, or Queen Mary 2 sailing iconic routes with her usual style, there's something to suit every kind of traveler. From exploring remarkable places to enjoying exceptional experiences on board, we're proud to offer voyages that feel truly special from start to finish."
Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth makes an exciting return to Europe in 2027, with Mediterranean voyages from May until October, visiting 22 ports she hasn't visited for 15 years.
The 65 new voyages boast itineraries varying from seven to 28 nights, taking in visits to many enchanting ancient cities on the continent, from the stunning foodie scene of Palermo in Sicily to the cultural richness of Istanbul.
Queen Mary 2
Fresh from a major refit in early 2027, Queen Mary 2 will continue to offer iconic Transatlantic Crossings, as well as immersive itineraries to Norway, Canada, New England, North Cape, and the Caribbean – where guests can spend Christmas and New Year on picturesque golden beaches. She will also spend Independence Day on July 4, 2027, in Boston.
Queen Anne
As the newest addition to the Cunard fleet, Queen Anne will offer a rich variety of exciting round-trip voyages from Southampton, from sun-drenched Mediterranean getaways to Nordic adventures in search of the Northern Lights.
Highlights include extended time in Barcelona and Copenhagen, as well as a late-evening New Year's Eve call in Maderia to witness the famous fireworks.
Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria will return to the UK to operate round-trip Southampton voyages, including discovery itineraries such as Scandinavia, Iceland, and the Mediterranean. Queen Victoria will also visit Grundarfjordur, Iceland, in 2027 – the first time a Cunard ship has called since 2009.
There is no shortage of extraordinary moments to be made on these 25 Queen Victoria voyages, whether you dream of soaking up the sun in the Mediterranean or an adventure-filled trip with stunning landscapes waiting to be explored.
For many guests, sailing on just one Queen isn't enough, but with Cunard's Queen-to-Queen voyages, travelers can book onto multiple voyages and experience two, or even three, of the line's iconic ships in one holiday.

Global X has more than $41 billion of assets under management and 142 ETFs listed on major Canadian stock exchanges. Global X is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mirae Asset Financial Group, which manages more than $900 billion of assets across 19 countries and global markets around the world. Commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be associated with an investment in products (the "Global X Funds") managed by Global X Investments Canada Inc. The Global X Funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated. Certain Global X Funds may have exposure to leveraged investment techniques that magnify gains and losses which may result in greater volatility in value and could be subject to aggressive investment risk and price volatility risk. Such risks are described in the prospectus. The Global X Money Market Funds are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the money market fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the Funds will be returned to you. Past performance may not be repeated. The prospectus contains important detailed information about the Global X Funds. Please read the relevant prospectus before investing. The payment of distributions, if any, is not guaranteed and may fluctuate at any time. The payment of distributions should not be confused with an exchange traded fund's ("ETF") performance, rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by the ETF are greater than the performance of the ETF, distributions paid may include a return of capital and an investor's original investment will decrease. A return of capital is not taxable to the investor but will generally reduce the adjusted cost base of the securities held for tax purposes. Distributions are paid as a result of capital gains realized by an ETF, and income and dividends earned by an ETF are taxable to the investor in the year they are paid. The investor's adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If the investor's adjusted cost base goes below zero, investors will realize capital gains equal to the amount below zero. Future distribution dates may be amended at any time. To recognize that these distributions have been allocated to investors for tax purposes the amounts of these distributions should be added to the adjusted cost base of the units held. The characterization of distributions, if any, for tax purposes, (such as dividends/other income/capital gains, etc.) will not be known for certain until after the ETF's tax year-end. Therefore, investors will be informed of the tax characterization after year-end and not with each distribution if any. For tax purposes, these amounts will be reported annually by brokers on official tax statements. Please refer to the applicable ETF distribution policy in the prospectus for more information. The Global X Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BCCC) and the Global X Enhanced Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BCCL) are each exchange traded alternative mutual funds that invest in other alternative mutual funds that invest, directly or indirectly, in Bitcoin. There are inherent risks associated with products linked to crypto assets, including Bitcoin Futures. While Bitcoin Futures are traded on a regulated exchange and cleared by regulated central counterparties, direct or indirect exposure to the high level of risk of Bitcoin Futures will not be suitable for all types of investors. Given the speculative nature of bitcoin and the volatility of the digital currency markets, there is no assurance that BCCC or BCCL will be able to meet their respective investment objectives. An investment in BCCC or BCCL is not intended as a complete investment program and is appropriate only for investors who have a sophisticated knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin and the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.
