The Queen Elizabeth will chart a wide range of three to 14-day voyages in 2021 taking her around Europe and Asia before concluding in Australia at the end of the 10-month season.
For the first time Cunard will foray into scenic cruising with three- and four-night voyages around the British Isles, and there is also a return to Mediterranean fly-cruising.
Says Cunard president Simon Palethorpe: “For her first few sailings, we are introducing new, shorter scenic voyages that will sail along some of the UK’s most magnificent coastlines, from the Isles of Scilly, off Cornwall to Scotland’s Inner Hebrides.
“And, for the first time since 2014, Queen Elizabeth will also be sailing a series of fly-cruises in the Mediterranean, departing from Barcelona.”
Palethorpe continued, “As an added incentive, guests can enjoy a complimentary upgrade on their suite or stateroom booking. For example, guests can experience a Queens Grill suite for the fare of a Princess Grill suite or an upgrade to a Balcony when selecting an Inside stateroom.”
The programme starts in Southampton on 26 March and ends on the 19 December in Melbourne
Itineraries will feature a series of overnight port calls to Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Rotterdam, Singapore and Auckland, with late evening departures from Amsterdam, Barcelona, Rotterdam, Aqaba, Colombo and Fremantle.
With the upgrade promotion, prices for a balcony stateroom start at just £299 per person for a British Isles scenic cruise.
