Cunard to base newest ship Queen Anne in Southampton for 2025
Cunard has unveiled its 2025/26 programme featuring 180 cruises across three ships.
Running from April 2025 to January 2026, the programme includes 91 destinations in 24 countries.
The line’s incoming Queen Anne ship will primarily offer sailings in the western Mediterranean, Norwegian fjords and western Europe. The cruises range from 2 to 19 nights.
The 3,000-guest ship, due to launch in May 2024, will make 19 maiden calls, including Bilbao, Ibiza, Skjolden, Messina and Santorini.
It will be based in Southampton during the programme.
Queen Mary 2 will continue to operate transatlantic crossings, while Queen Victoria will be based in the Mediterranean between May and October 2025.
It will offer a range of 7-, 14- and 21-night itineraries out of Barcelona, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Trieste.
Cunard president Katie McAlister said: “We are incredibly excited to be launching our new 2025 programme and with 180 fantastic itineraries to choose from, there really is a Cunard voyage for everyone.
“We always strive to provide our valued travel agent partners with great offers for their customers, and this programme is no different.
“Not only do our itineraries sail to some of the world’s most exotic destinations, our ships offer unique and enriching experiences for guests, so whether you’re a new-to-cruiser or a loyal ‘Cunarder’, you’ll be free to unwind and escape in a uniquely luxurious setting.”
Sailings will be available to book from 1pm on 4 October for Cunard World Club Members, with bookings open to all passengers from 1pm on 5 October.
In 2025, Queen Elizabeth will offer an Alaska programme, which will be announced in the coming months, Cunard said.
