Cruises on the Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria vary in duration from two to 37 nights.
Queen Mary 2, as the world’s only ocean liner, will sail a programme of 18 transatlantic crossings, with departures from both Southampton and New York.
In addition, a Mediterranean fly-cruise season from Barcelona, a series of 10-night roundtrips in Alaska, an Independence Day sailing calling in Boston, a 16-night Baltics voyage with an overnight call in St Petersburg and a 14-night Canada and New England voyage offering three full days in Quebec are just some of the highlights.
“We are thrilled to launch such an exciting programme of new itineraries, giving the opportunity to those new to Cunard – or new to cruising in general – the chance to visit the places they’ve always dreamed of, escape, unwind and feel special,” says Carnival UK President Sture Myrmell.
“From famous city destinations to breathtaking natural wonders, the Cunard 2023 New Voyages offer the perfect way to rediscover the joy of exploration.”
