Luxury cruise brand, Cunard, has unveiled its November 2019 to June 2020 programme, with its ocean liners calling at 123 destinations in 48 different countries.
There are currently three Cunard ships, Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria in the fleet with a fourth ship to be launched in 2022.
Key voyage highlights for 2020 include:
Christmas in Australia
Cunard guests will be able to celebrate Christmas in Australia for the first time on board Queen Elizabeth, followed by cruising in the Fiordland National Park on Boxing Day.
Discover South America
On a winter escape Queen Victoria revisits South America, offering stops at major cities. After a maiden call in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the ship will sail up the Amazon to Manaus, round Cape Horn, and transit the Panama Canal.
The World Voyage
Sailing for 99 nights aboard Cunard's flagship Queen Mary 2, this is a classic East-West exploration to Australia and Asia, via the Mediterranean, Arabian Gulf, Indian Ocean, and Southern Africa.
Deeper, Richer Experiences
Offering a series of more regionally-focused itineraries Queen Elizabeth will start in Australasia with visits to the remote populations of Papua New Guinea.
A classic route from Sydney to Yokohama will take in exotic Asian destinations such as Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, and South Korea.
Then after exploring the deep cultural roots of Japan, where she'll make five maiden calls, Queen Elizabeth will sail to the splendours of Alaska.
Cunard will re-introduce a series of ten 'old favourite' destinations, including Albany (Australia), Hanoi (Vietnam), Bitung (Indonesia), and Jeju Island (South Korea).
