Queen Mary 2 will begin its winter season eastbound transatlantic crossing from New York, before embarking from Southampton on a 108-night world voyage taking in the Mediterranean, Asia via the Suez Canal, Australia and returning to Europe via South Africa.

Carnival’s Sture Myrmell said: “Announcing each new voyage programme for Cunard is always exciting, but this year is even more so, as guests will be able to choose itineraries across four magnificent ships in the fleet for the first time since 1999.

“In the newly announced programme, each ship offers a unique experience with distinct itineraries with Queen Anne based out of Southampton, Queen Elizabeth out of Australia and Japan, and Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2 both sailing world voyages, one with a full circumnavigation and one exploring the finest destinations across the Mediterranean, Asia, Australia and Africa.

“Our new voyages bring opportunities to explore all corners of the world in luxurious surroundings while enjoying our White Star Service as well as all the other special touches that make a trip with Cunard so special.”
