8 January 2025 [Southampton, UK]

Luxury cruise line Cunard has unveiled its highly anticipated Alaska 2026 programme, offering travellers the chance to embark on an unforgettable adventure through one of the world’s most awe-inspiring destinations.

Between April and September 2026, Queen Elizabeth will sail 23 roundtrip voyages from Seattle, USA, ranging from 7 to 12 nights. Guests looking for a longer holiday that combines contrasting destinations can enjoy extended voyages of up to 42 nights, taking in both the majestic landscapes of Alaska and the tropical beauty of the Caribbean.

Cunard’s 2026 programme features visits to 31 unique destinations across 16 countries, including highlights such as Colón, Panama, and Bridgetown, Barbados. Voyages are available to book from 1pm GMT on 8 January 2025, with guests able to claim up to triple on board credit* for bookings made between 8 January and 17 February 2025.

This on board spending money allows guests to indulge in Cunard’s signature luxury, whether that means unwinding with a spa treatment, savouring fine dining, or enjoying exceptional shore experiences. Highlights include the opportunity to witness humpback whales in their natural habitat as Queen Elizabeth sails through Alaska’s glacier-filled fjords.

Alaska highlights

Queen Elizabeth’s voyages invite travellers to immerse themselves in a world of tidewater glaciers and mirror-like waters, where each day in port offers guests the freedom to step ashore and explore somewhere new.

Whether it be Ketchikan, with its vibrant totem poles, Juneau, where famous gold mines put this historic city on the map, or Haines, a prime destination for kayaking, Alaska is an adventurer’s paradise.

And not forgetting the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site of Glacier Bay National Park and Hubbard Glacier, two gems in the Alaskan crown. 

Prices for a 10-night Seattle roundtrip to Alaska (Q620) in July 2026 currently start from £1,999 per person based on two sharing a Britannia Balcony stateroom. 

Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: “Alaska is a truly unique destination, and we’re delighted to return with our 2026 programme. Sailing through its spectacular fjords and seeing the immense glaciers is an experience like no other. On board, guests can sip regionally inspired cocktails, enjoy cuisine influenced by local flavours, and hear fascinating stories from renowned explorers. These voyages promise to create unforgettable memories, and we can’t wait to welcome our guests on board Queen Elizabeth.”
