VALENCIA, Calif., May 6, 2026 /CNW/ -- Cunard – the British luxury cruise brand renowned for 185 years of delivering elegance at sea – 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 revealed new inclusive opportunities for guests with its new Signature Packages,
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, giving guests even more opportunities to immerse themselves in bucket list destinations.
In addition, a landmark moment will take place in Liverpool in May 2028 where all four Cunard Queens will unite for the first time, offering guests the rare opportunity to be part of history during one of the Four Queens Celebration voyages.
In another first for the brand, guests can experience the elegance of all four Cunard Queens in one single journey. Cunard's Queen-to-Queen voyages, a collection of back-to-back sailings, allow guests to combine voyages on board two, three or four Queens in one extended luxury adventure.
The four-Queen 40-night 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 joins the landmark Four Queens Celebration in Liverpool.
Additional program highlights include iconic Transatlantic Crossings, Independence Day celebrations in Boston, a variety of itineraries 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 voyage collection is one of the most exciting programs we've ever launched. 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."
