Queen Elizabeth will return to Australasia in 2029 as part of a 115-night World Voyage, with calls in Fremantle, Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and Burnie before an overnight stay in Sydney.

The cruise will depart Southampton on January 23 and return on May 17, spanning five continents with overnight stays in Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong and Cape Town. The ship will also return to Auckland and Wellington for the first time in four years.

Australian travellers will be able to join shorter sectors closer to home. A nine-night Fremantle to Sydney voyage departs on March 16, visiting Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and Burnie before arriving in Sydney for an overnight stay on March 25.

From Sydney, travellers can continue on a 28-night voyage to Los Angeles departing March 25, sailing through New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. The journey can also be extended to a 43-night Sydney to Miami itinerary.

The Australian program forms part of a broader collection of 93 voyages operating between October 2028 and May 2029, covering 104 destinations across 49 countries.

The program includes 18 overnight calls, 18 late-evening departures and opportunities to visit 64 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Elsewhere in the fleet, Queen Mary 2 will mark its 500th Transatlantic Crossing with a 21-night roundtrip voyage from New York.

Guests will also be able to embark in Hamburg, Southampton and Liverpool, with the Liverpool departure marking the first Cunard Transatlantic Crossing from the city since 2015.

Queen Anne will return to South America in 2029, with a 60-night voyage featuring an overnight stay in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival, alongside overnight calls in Buenos Aires and Callao.

Paul Ludlow, Cunard President, said the new program brought together major milestones across the fleet.

“Alongside Queen Elizabeth’s World Voyage and the opportunity to experience Rio Carnival with Queen Anne, these voyages showcase the breadth and richness of the Cunard experience,” Mr Ludlow said.

Cunard World Club members will receive early access to selected sector bookings from November 3, with general sales opening on November 5.

A 10% early booking saving is available on applicable Cunard fares booked by December 30.
