Cunard

 

The art of the ocean voyage.

Voyaging for nearly 200 years, Cunard offers a timeless and elegant way to see the world. Its fleet of four Queens pairs grand ocean-liner heritage with personalised White Star Service and beautifully curated experiences, both on board and ashore.

01

White Star Service

Cunard’s crew offer a personalised experience without ever being overfamiliar. They’ll know your name and your preferences, and quietly ensure every detail of your voyage is seamless — leaving you to simply absorb the atmosphere.

02

The Cunard Signatures

The traditions that make Cunard unmistakable: white-glove afternoon tea served daily at 3.30pm, glittering gala evenings, ballroom dancing, and fine dining — timeless rituals carried elegantly into the present.

03

The Four Queens

Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Anne — each with its own character, and each finished with Cunard’s trademark attention to detail. Queen Mary 2 also keeps alive the classic Transatlantic crossing between Southampton and New York.

Book your next Cunard voyage with Fine Travel and combine its grand ocean-liner heritage with our boutique, concierge-style service.

World Voyages

Cunard World Voyages

There is no finer way to see the world than aboard a Cunard Queen. Sail a signature Full World Voyage spanning continents over several months, or join a single sector and trace a legendary route through a handful of unforgettable destinations — with luxurious days at sea between each.

The Full Journey

Full World Voyages

The ultimate seabound adventure — a single, global circumnavigation calling across the continents and whisking you away for months at a time. Queen Victoria sails her world circumnavigation in early 2027, and for the first time in a decade Queen Elizabeth undertakes a full circumnavigation in 2028.

A Single Leg

World Voyage Sectors

Prefer a taste of the grand voyage? Join a sector and trace part of the legendary route — extended time at sea paired with calls in unique pockets of the world. The perfect way to experience a World Voyage without committing to the full circumnavigation.

Departing from Our Doorstep

Sail to and from Sydney

Some of the world’s most exotic destinations are within easy reach when you embark or disembark in Sydney — discover vibrant cities, historic landmarks and scenic wonders, and only unpack once. Queen Victoria visits Australia on her world explorations in 2027, Queen Anne arrives in Sydney in 2028, and Queen Elizabeth’s 2028 circumnavigation offers sector voyages to and from Australia, taking in Yokohama, Nagasaki and Kagoshima along the way.

A Few Sydney Sectors to Consider

Queen Victoria • 19 Nights • Feb 2027

Depart Sydney and sail up the Queensland coast — Airlie Beach, Townsville and Cairns — before crossing to Indonesia and the Philippines, finishing with an overnight in Hong Kong.

The Legendary Ocean Journey

The Transatlantic Crossing

When it comes to escaping it all, nothing compares to a Transatlantic Crossing with Cunard — a unique ocean journey the line has sailed since 1840. Effortless days to unwind, time to spend exactly as you please, and the gentle luxury of adjusting to the time difference somewhere mid-Atlantic. This is travel as it was meant to be.

Queen Mary 2

The world’s only true ocean liner

Queen Mary 2 was built to sail the mightiest waters — the only ship in the world designed for this legendary route between Southampton and New York. Glide along with the wildlife from her spacious decks, and treat them as your own as you cross in unmistakable Cunard comfort.

Days to yourself

A Cunard Insights talk from a guest speaker, a 3-D documentary in the Illuminations planetarium, fencing lessons or a Cocktail Masterclass — or simply nothing at all.

Dining at sea

Complimentary breakfast in bed, 24-hour room service and a midnight buffet — all delivered with the celebrated White Star Service that defines a Cunard crossing.

The classic route

Seven nights between Southampton and New York, sailing east or west, with selected crossings calling at Le Havre and special Event Voyages featuring music and the arts at sea.

Crossings sail east and westbound through the year and fares vary by stateroom and date — tell us which direction and month suits, and we’ll confirm availability and arrange your connecting flights.
