In addition to these iconic world tours, the programme introduces five maiden calls to exciting destinations such as Kona (Hawaii), Roatan (Honduras), Dakar (Senegal), Miami, and Molde (Norway), expanding the horizons for seasoned travellers.
Queen Elizabeth is set to partake in this expansion through its new Caribbean itinerary, featuring 33 departures from Miami. Destinations will include the exotic locales of San Juan, Puerto Rico; Montego Bay, Jamaica; and Georgetown, Grand Cayman, amongst others. This itinerary provides passengers with not only an exploration of the Caribbean’s myriad delights but also a taste of travel aboard Cunard’s luxury liners.
Significantly, the new sailings incorporate 37 overnight port calls and 66 late evening departures. These features are designed to allow passengers the opportunity to delve deeper into the culture and nightlife of each destination. Cunard’s president, Katie McAlister, expressed enthusiasm about the programme’s scope, highlighting Queen Mary’s inaugural transit of the Panama Canal, which adds a historical element to its journey.
