Cunard, the renowned British cruise line, has launched The Cunard Event, offering unmissable fares across select voyages in 2026, 2027 and 2028. Featured itineraries span Europe, South America, the Caribbean and Canada & New England as well as Transatlantic Crossings and World Voyage segments, including departures from Sydney.
For Australians who have long contemplated a voyage aboard one of Cunard’s four iconic Queens, The Cunard Event presents a compelling moment to reserve their place. The deposit has been reduced to just five per cent and is fully refundable when cancelling more than 180 days prior to departure, providing guests with additional peace of mind and flexibility.
Guests who book before 14 July 2026 will receive up to US$1,200 in on board credit per stateroom on select voyages which may be applied to treatments at the Mareel® Wellness & Beauty spa, Champagne Afternoon Tea, speciality dining such as The Steakhouse at the Verandah and immersive shore excursions and more.
Three of Cunard’s Queens will sail to and from Sydney as part of their World Voyages across 2027 and 2028, offering Australian travellers close-to-home sailings that explore Japan, Asia, the Americas and South Africa.
Queen Anne’s 29-night Sydney to Singapore voyage (H806A) and Queen Elizabeth’s 16-night Yokohama to Sydney (Q806) sailing includes overnight calls in Hong Kong and Yokohama, providing guests an opportunity to experience two of Asia’s most captivating cities after dusk.
The newly refurbished Queen Elizabeth sets sail for the Mediterranean in 2027, calling at 22 ports, several of which she has not visited for up to 15 years. Guests may choose a 21-night, 14-night, or 7-night sailing, tracing the azure coastlines of Italy, the ancient ruins of Greece and the ornate Baroque harbours of the Adriatic.
Queen Anne’s maiden South America Discovery presents one of the most distinguished itineraries within The Cunard Event. Guests may join the full 56-night South America Discovery voyage or choose a shorter sector to call at their most anticipated ports from the tango halls of Buenos Aires to the dramatic fjords of Patagonia and experience carnival in Rio de Janeiro.
On board every sailing, guests are attended by the exceptional White Star Service that has defined the Cunard experience for 186 years. For those who wish to travel at the pinnacle of ocean elegance, Queens Grill and Princess Grill Suites offer dedicated dining rooms, exclusive spaces and suite accommodations that reflect Cunard’s heritage of refinement.
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: “The Cunard Event is our invitation to Australians to secure their place on some of the world’s most distinguished voyages. With three of our Queens sailing to and from Sydney across 2027 and 2028, guests have a remarkable opportunity to experience the White Star Service and grand tradition of ocean travel that has defined Cunard for more than 185 years — a custom that began when we pioneered the World Voyage more than a century ago.”
The Cunard Event is available from 30 June until 14 September 2026, or until sold out.
