Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth is to return to service with a series of three- and four-night scenic voyages around the British Isles in March 2021.
The new itineraries will the first scenic voyages sailed by Cunard, cruising uninterrupted around the British coastlines. Queen Elizabeth will depart from Southampton and sail by sights such as the Isles of Scilly, the coast of Cornwall and Scotland’s Inner Hebrides.
The ship will move to the Mediterranean later in 2021, departing on a series of sailings from Barcelona, Spain, that will include a maiden call in Genoa, Italy. She will then sail to Australia through Asia at the end of the season, calling at destinations including Singapore and the Australian ports of Fremantle and Melbourne.
“We are thrilled to announce such a broad new programme for Queen Elizabeth, with sailings from Southampton and, later in 2021, from Barcelona,” said Simon Palethorpe, president of Cunard. “Whether guests have sailed with us before or are taking a cruise for the first time and want a taster of how special a holiday with Cunard can be, we think there’s an ideal itinerary for everyone.”
