The Queen Anne set sail on her 107-night maiden world voyage from Southampton on January 9, 2025.
Spectators gathered to witness the ship’s 9 p.m. departure, highlighted by a fireworks display.
The 3,000-passenger ship will make its first stop in New York on January 17, 2025.
Over the course of 107 nights, the Queen Anne will visit 30 ports across 18 countries. Destinations include Miami, San Francisco, the Panama Canal, Honolulu, Auckland, Sydney, and Hong Kong. Guests will also cross the International Date Line on February 12, experiencing the rare event of “jumping through time.”
The itinerary also includes overnight stops in New York, Honolulu, Sydney and Singapore, with the Queen Anne returning to the south coast on April 27, 2025.
Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, said: “This is a significant moment for Cunard as Queen Anne begins her maiden world voyage. It’s especially fitting that her first visit to the USA will be New York, a city that has long been at the heart of Cunard’s story. This voyage celebrates our heritage while offering guests the opportunity to explore the world in the style and luxury only Cunard can provide. Queen Anne truly reflects the evolution of our brand, and this journey will be an unforgettable experience for all on board.”
