Thank you for the information on QM2 and QA.  I await the itineraries for QE in 2025/6.  Does anyone have any information when these will be available please.

 

I posted what I had found earlier for QE's 2025 Alaska season and 2025/26 Caribbean season (into April 2026) on other threads. I'll repost that information here to have everything on one place.

Cunard have said the QE 2025 Alaska itineraries will be announced and go on sale in just a few more days; December 12th to be exact. I don't know when they will be announcing QE's 2025/26 Caribbean itineraries. Next March is a reasonable guess since that's when we've been told Cunard will be making additional announcements including the 2026 world voyages.

For the QM2 call at Los Angeles - is that likely to be Long Beach ? Or San Pedro ? Thank you

 

My best guess is San Pedro. It's been quite a few years since QM2 was last at Los Angeles (February 2009). QE and QV call at San Pedro and my research indicates QM2 was at San Pedro for her previous calls during 2006 and 2009.

[WantedOnVoyage]

Thanks, so much for this.... odd, I almost always find out what Cunard are doing here via your postings... they never bother to tell me and the only time I get a brochure is aboard.

 

QE's Caribbean programme is... dullsville writ large both in ports and duration.  At least they are sailing from Miami so one can avoid excreable Fort Lauderdale airport. Will be interesting to see the price points for these itineraries and indeed if there will be demand for a "formal" product competing against mass market rubbish in these waters.  At the right price, QE at least will be a good replacement for the "old" Holland Amerca Line.  

[MylesS]

Thank you for your continued research and updates @bluemarble, very much appreciated. QM2's World Voyage looks very promising!

I wonder if the various date/port "shuffling" you're seeing is due to Cunard starting to book these ports and there being conflicts? I imagine what was sent out to travel agents may have been a draft?

In regards to the Panama Canal, is it at all possible it has been incorrectly marked as a transit, when it could be a stop off with tours? We've seen this in other trips, "XXX (with tours from ZZZ)"

Hawaii is also an interesting destination! Has QM2 ever been there?

[foodsvcmgr]

Wanted on Voyage - agree these aren’t terribly exciting Caribbean ports, the exciting aspect is sailing there on QE.

And 9 and 12 nights with weekday departures and arrivals in Miami is far better than an endless 7 day loop.

Cunard seems to have a long relationship with many of these ports such as St. Lucia,

Barbados, St. Maarten, Tortola, etc.

That was the bulk of the itinerary on my two Caribbean sailings on QM2 from NY years ago and still is currently.

It's possible the two alternative versions I'm seeing for the start of the QM2 2026 world voyage (with either one or two days in New York) have to do with potential conflicts at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. What's odd about that though is that most of the conflicts requiring Cunard to retroactively change the dates for QM2 at Brooklyn have been on Sundays. MSC Meraviglia has 7-night itineraries scheduled to the Bahamas departing Brooklyn most Sundays into April 2025. The two versions of the QM2 2026 world voyage I've found have QM2 in New York either on Sunday, January 18, 2026 or on both Sunday and Monday January 18-19, 2026. But I agree conflicts at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal could well be what's going on there. Perhaps the final itinerary will end up with QM2 in New York only on Monday, January 19, 2026. We shall see.

The problem with that idea is QM2 would still have to make her way to the Pacific for the calls starting with Manzanillo. If she were going to round Cape Horn to accomplish that, we would expect to see other calls in South America on the itinerary and there's no way she could make the dates for Manzanillo, Los Angeles and San Francisco in particular unless she were transiting the Panama Canal. QM2 is either doing a Panama Canal transit or this 2026 world voyage itinerary I've found is a work of fiction. I'm careful though to cross-reference dates mentioned on various port authority websites to make sure what I find is at least plausible. There are sites out there that purport to show itineraries for future years but in actuality are rehashing itineraries from previous years.

QM2 has visited Hawaii before but it has been quite a while. The last visit I'm seeing to Hawaii for QM2 is Honolulu on February 15, 2009 during her 2009 world voyage. The last time QM2 has visited California (Los Angeles) was also during that 2009 world voyage (February 10, 2009). QM2 has only visited San Francisco once before, on February 4-5, 2007.

Hopefully we’ll get some new photos from fellow pax of QM2 in Calif and Hawaii.

The first time QM2 visited Hawaii was during her February/March 2006 'Royal Hawaian Liner' cruise RT Los Angeles.

 

She also visited Hawaii in February 2007, during her Maiden World Cruise.

 

Then her last call, as Bluemarlbe said, was in February 2009, during her World Cruise of that year.

As we were on board, I can confirm QM2 was at San Pedro in 2009.

[watsonbeau]

Just found this itinerary for QM2 - no idea if it’s accurate though, which shows her round the Horn and not doing Panama transit. One of the experts might be able to check ? I have just shown the part from New York but ties in with the TA prior from Southampton. Thank you.

Sorry, I'm afraid what you've found there is an itinerary from one of those sites I was cautioning about earlier when I said "There are sites out there that purport to show itineraries for future years but in actuality are rehashing itineraries from previous years."

 

That's actually a portion of QM2's 2006 itinerary. That site is listing it as if it were a 2026 itinerary when it is actually an itinerary from 2006, 20 years earlier.

 

Edit to add: I think you'll find that same site is also listing 2027 itineraries for QM2 which are actually rehashes of her 2007 itineraries, 2028 itineraries which are actually from 2008, 2029 itineraries which are actually from 2009, etc.

Yes I did wonder how bona fide it was. Fingers crossed for the Panama Canal transit - I’ve got that earmarked for 2026 - thank you.

[Flosmaandpa]

Good morning,

thanks for all the wealth of experience evident here and for sharing it.  

We're somewhat new to Cruising, apart from sea passages as an alternative to flying, and certainly new to Cunard.  

We've booked to transit Panama on the Queen Victoria (old locks) embarking in San Antonio in February 25, however are (faintly) contemplating tweaking our booking, as Virgin with whom we have preferential rates, have pushed back inaugurating their flights to Sao Paolo beyond then.  

It looks from these possible itineraries that Queen Mary will be transiting new locks in 2026.  What are peoples thoughts, should we just deal with it and (unfortunately we can't do the whole trip prior) fly cattle to S America in order to experience the old locks on Queen Victoria or?

We're also keen to experience the South Pacific...... 

Thank you for any insights and as to when the new itineraries are normally officially published.

The QM2 July 03 2026 Independence Day 7 night cruise r/t NYC spending July 4th watching the Macy’s Fireworks instead of Boston for a change up looks interesting.

She did that once  years ago on the yearly Independence Day sailing to view OPSail and the fireworks.😁

 

Many years ago I sailed on the July 4th cruise out of NYC on QE2 - I don't remember the year - but then it was a 5 day cruise w/ QE2 in NYC harbor right near the Statue of Liberty - it was one of the most memorable & certainly a once in a lifetime experiences - IT WAS THE ULTIMATE!!!!

Everyone onboard was outside on the decks w the fireworks exploding above us!!!

 

This was pre 9/11 so I don't know what security measures will  be in place in future 4 July cruises - certainly being in Brooklyn would not be the same!

[bluemarble]

To recap, here are dates for Cunard's 2026 itineraries we were able to find earlier on various port authority websites.

 

Queen Mary 2

11 Jan 2026 - Southampton

4-5 Mar 2026 - Sydney

7 Mar 2026 - Brisbane

14 Mar 2026 - Darwin

 

Queen Anne

11 Jan 2026 - Southampton

8 Mar 2026 - Darwin

14 Mar 2026 - Brisbane

16-17 Mar 2026 - Sydney

19-20 Mar 2026 - Melbourne

26 Mar 2026 - Fremantle

26 Apr 2026 - Funchal

26 May 2026 - Gibraltar

17 Sep 2026 - Gibraltar

6 Oct 2026 - Gibraltar

8 Nov 2026 - Funchal

9 Dec 2026 - Funchal

24 Dec 2026 - Funchal

 

Queen Victoria

8 Jan 2026 - Funchal

12 Feb 2026 - Funchal

26 Feb 2026 - Funchal

15 Apr 2026 - Funchal

 

 

Now I've done some more digging. Here are additional 2026 dates I've found on the calendars of other port authority and port information websites.

 

Queen Mary 2

21 Jan 2026 - Haifa (one day only)

21-22 Mar 2026 - Hong Kong

1 May 2026 - Le Havre

11 Aug 2026 - Isafjordur

12-13 Aug 2026 - Reykjavik

29 Aug 2026 - Bergen

5 Sep 2026 - Le Havre

7 Dec 2026 - Le Havre

 

Queen Anne

26-27 Feb 2026 - Hong Kong

31 Jul 2026 - Akureyri

1 Aug 2026 - Isafjordur

2-3 Aug 2026 - Reykjavik

 

 

I'm just documenting this here since it lends more credibility to the full 2026 itineraries I reported earlier. The only discrepancy I'm seeing here is that the Haifa Port Authority has QM2 doing a one day call there on 21 Jan 2026 rather than an overnight on 21-22 Jan 2026.

 

Now I suppose we just need to be patient until Cunard announces their 2026 itineraries.

Just an observation: according to the timetables listed by the travel agent posted in the beginning of this thread, it should be Queen Anne at Haifa in 21 Jan 2026, not QM2. QM2 appears to be between New York and Willemstad, Curacao then.

 

Is QM2's mention by the Haifa Port Authority an indication that the agents' timetables are not correct and QM2 is not going for a full world circumnavigation, but is only going to Australia via Suez?

 

Forgive me if I'm missing something, I'm a bit confused.

Is QM2's mention by the Haifa Port Authority an indication that the agents' timetables are not correct and QM2 is not going for a full world circumnavigation, but is only going to Australia via Suez?

 

Forgive me if I'm missing something, I'm a bit confused.

 

Sorry, I managed to confuse myself by what's on the Haifa Port Authority website ("haifaport.co.il"). They do indeed list the following:

 

QUEEN MARY 2;  21/02/2026;  ETA: 07:00; ETD: 22:00

 

And yes indeed, that does contradict the previous schedules I found. It is supposed to be QUEEN ANNE in Haifa on 21-22 Jan 2026 according to what I found elsewhere.

 

But then I see this announcement on the home page of that Haifa site.

"Welcome to Haifa Port. Please note that the cruise schedule is out of date."

 

Not sure how the schedule for 2026 could be out of date already. The schedules for several of the other ships listed for early 2026 on that Haifa site match the itineraries found on the websites for their cruise lines. So it is a bit of a mystery what's going on regarding the Haifa schedules.

 

I'm willing to pass this off as a glitch on the Haifa site. So far that's the only inconsistency I've found regarding the Cunard 2026 itineraries on any of the other port authority websites. But it does give me pause nonetheless. Thanks for bringing that Haifa inconsistency to my attention.

Here are some more itineraries I've found to complete the December 2026 schedules for Queen Anne and Queen Mary 2. We already figured QA was going to be doing a Canary Islands/Madeira cruise over Christmas since the Madeira Port Authority website has QA scheduled to be at Funchal on 24 Dec 2026. Here are the details for that cruise plus one additional cruise for QA in early 2027.

 

Queen Anne

20-Dec-26    Southampton
24-Dec-26    Funchal
26-Dec-26    Lanzarote
27-Dec-26    Fuerteventura
28-Dec-26    Tenerife
29-Dec-26    La Palma
31-Dec-26    Lisbon
1-Jan-27    Lisbon
3-Jan-27    Southampton
5-Jan-27    Hamburg
7-Jan-27    Rotterdam
8-Jan-27    Zeebrugge
9-Jan-27    Zeebrugge
10-Jan-27    Southampton

 

Naturally we would expect QM2 to be doing another Caribbean cruise over Christmas and that's what I've found.

 

Queen Mary 2

20-Dec-26    New York
24-Dec-26    Amber Cove
26-Dec-26    Road Town
27-Dec-26    Roseau
28-Dec-26    Bridgetown
29-Dec-26    Castries
30-Dec-26    Basseterre
3-Jan-27    New York
11-Jan-27    Southampton
 

It's been a while since QM2 has called at Amber Cove. I'm seeing only one previous call scheduled there on 22 Jan 2016 and that's the only call there by any of the current Cunard fleet.

Cunard are teasing the realease of additional itineraries on their facebook page.

 

"Discover over 300 awe inspiring new voyages with our Cunard Queens. Norwegian Fjords, epic World Voyages, Caribbean escapes and so much more await. Whether your ideal adventure involves a visit to a bustling metropolis, warm Mediterranean sun or spellbinding glaciers and valleys.

 

With our biggest launch ever coming up soon, you’re sure to find the voyage that makes your dream holiday a reality. Look out for more information coming February 2024."

 

Unfortunately they aren't being more specific than February 2024 for the announcement date at this point, but at most that's just one month more to wait.

Thank you. I haven't received my email yet here in the US.

 

Good to see confirmation that they are intending to release the full 2026 itineraries as anticipated (for QA and QM2 anyway). I'm not expecting Cunard to release anything for QV beyond October 2026 or for QE beyond April 2026 based on what I've found and reported on this thread. Still, as I've mentioned before, it's unprecedented during the time I've been tracking the Cunard schedules for any of the summer/autumn itineraries to be released this early. We've usually had the wait until at least September for the summer/autumn itineraries.

 

I see they haven't mentioned when/if the new itineraries will be announced prior to the listed "on sale" dates. Hopefully, those will be posted a week or two in advance as they've generally done most years.

So if I am a Cunard World Club Member, and I want to be one of the first to book a QE 2025 Caribbean trip on the March 6th date from above, should I call the UK number at 2:30 am my time (US Central Standard time), which I am thinking is 8:30am London time?

World Voyage on sale March 5?  Surely there will be more than one. What am I missing?

Since you are in the US, you will want to call the US number if you want to book direct with Cunard over the phone. Previous years, sales have opened at the same time in both the US and the UK. The opening times have varied slightly from year to year, but generally they've opened at something like 5:00am Pacific time (8:00am Eastern time) in the US which means they've opened at 1:00pm in the UK. Cunard should advise on the precise timing when this new batch of voyages will be open for booking in subsequent announcements.

Blue Marble, help, I'm not tracking.  On Dec. 5 you posted a WB world cruise itinerary for QM2.  On Jan. 12 you posted port calls that indicate an EB world cruise, but I can't see where either you or anyone else noted the apparent discrepancy.
