Cunard Line has rolled out the new itineraries, including two simultaneous world cruises to depart in January 2026.

The itineraries, which go on sale in early March, will offer 37 overnight port calls and 66 late-evening departures. The line will also make five maiden calls, in Kona, Hawaii; Roatan, Honduras; Dakar, Senegal; Miami; and Molde, Norway.

The line will send the Queen Mary 2 and the new Queen Anne on simultaneous world voyages in January 2026. 

The Queen Anne, which debuts in May from Southampton, England, will offer a 109-night world voyage departing on Jan. 11, 2026. The ship will sail roundtrip from Southampton and cruise the South Pacific, calling in Abu Dhabi and making overnight calls in Singapore, Hong Kong and Sydney. Cunard assumes, in this itinerary, that the Suez Canal will be open for the ship to sail through.

The Queen Mary 2 will sail a world cruise in addition to its signature transatlantic crossings, Caribbean sailings and its itineraries in Canada and New England. The Queen Mary 2's sailings will range from two to 109 nights, with 15 overnight calls, including in Los Angeles; San Francisco; Reykjavik, Iceland; Quebec City; and Sydney. The ship will also transit the Panama Canal for the first time. The world voyage sails roundtrip from Southampton on Jan. 11, 2026, and the itinerary also includes a transit of the Suez Canal. 

Cunard will offer other new voyages over the next three years, including a new Caribbean program sailing out of Miami. 

Cunard's Caribbean program includes sailing the Queen Elizabeth on 33 roundtrip cruises with calls in San Juan; Montego Bay, Jamaica; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; Roatan; Tortola; Antigua; Barbados; and St. Lucia. 

One sailing will include 21 nights departing Dec. 18, 2025, with calls that include St. Lucia, Antigua and San Juan, with Christmas Eve spent in Bridgetown's Unesco-listed Old Town, along with other calls.

The Queen Victoria will also offer Caribbean sailings, including a 35-night cruise on Jan. 4, 2026, from Southampton with a call in Madeira before heading for the Caribbean. 

Cunard World Club members can book the world voyages beginning March 5, and all other voyages beginning March 5. Sales open to the public on March 7.
