Cunard’s Queen Victoria will make four maiden calls for the line in Scotland, Norway and Italy as part of the company’s 2028 deployment

The announcement comes as Cunard reveals its 2028 programme, which features 190 new voyages in 36 countries, including a Four Queens Celebration event.

The luxury operator will visit 125 ports worldwide, including 98 UNESCO World Heritage sites, from April 2028 to January 2029. The programme also includes 19 overnight stays and 37 late-evening departures.

All four of the line’s vessels, Queen Anne, Queen Victoria, Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth, will meet for the first time in Liverpool during the season. Guests will have the chance to sail on all four ships back-to-back on the line’s first Queen-to-Queen voyages.

The four-Queen 40-night voyage from Southampton to Civitavecchia (for Rome), from 16 April 2028 to 26 May 2028, takes in the Norwegian Fjords and Europe before joining the Four Queens Celebration in Liverpool.

Additional programme highlights include Transatlantic crossings, Independence Day celebrations in Boston, a variety of itineraries to Europe from Southampton, and four fleet maiden calls for Queen Victoria including Aberdeen, Scotland, Olbia and Taranto, in Italy and Måløy, in Norway.

Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, said: “Our new voyage collection is one of the most exciting programmes we’ve ever launched. From the historic moment all four Queens meet in Liverpool on 16 May 2028 to the extraordinary breadth of destinations we will visit.

“We have thoughtfully curated these voyages to give our guests more time in port, and the chance to explore the world with the signature elegance and sense of occasion that defines Cunard.”
