From Tropical Shores to Glacial Dreams: Explore Cunard's Luxury Cruises
There’s setting the bar. And then there’s raising it. For 185 years, this is what Cunard has done for ocean travel, constantly refining the experience. And while they sail the globe, from sea to shining sea, today we’re focusing on two distinctly different destinations: the call of the wild in Alaska and the promise of sea, sand, and sky in the Caribbean.
As different as the sights may be during your Alaska and the Caribbean experiences, life onboard a Cunard ship will always be extra special. Refined, thoughtful, charismatic White Star Service™ follows you wherever your compass points, bringing you the highest level of satisfaction with intuitive and considerate service.

Are you an adventurer at heart? Do you relish the sounds of nature, and often, the lack of any sound at all but for the whisper of the breeze through the tree branches? Do you go ga-ga for glaciers? How about icebergs as tall as buildings? We thought so. Here are five of our top reasons Cunard holds the keys to a spell-binding Alaska vacation.

1. The Perfect Ship for Alaska
The Queen Elizabeth® is the ideal ship for sailing a destination as epic as Alaska, large enough to have all the amenities you crave - from Afternoon Tea to Gala Evenings - but still carrying fewer guests than other ships her size.
2. Robust Itineraries
No one goes to Alaska to see just one or two things when there's so much on offer. The mountains! The bears! The Gold Rush history! From Glacier Bay National Park to Ketchikan, Cunard ensures you experience the best of it.
3. Authentic Alaska
The Alaska experience isn't limited to what you'll see when you're in port (though you'll have full days in several!). Cunard offers locally influenced cuisine, local craft beer, and even Alaska-inspired cocktails onboard. Cozy up with blankets and a hot drink on deck as you admire the view.
4. Expert Insights
If you’re interested in Alaska, you’ve likely heard of Bear Grylls. He’s one among many experts, explorers, and writers Cunard has hosted. Plus, Alaska Cultural Heritage Guides help you discover important perspectives.
5. Local Celebrations
See what living in this special place on a festive Independence Day voyage is like. Join the locals with fireworks at Juneau Harbor, a Fourth of July parade through the city's walkable downtown, and a variety of community activities.
The Captivating Caribbean
If you prefer palm trees to Douglas firs, mojitos to craft cider, and snorkeling with colorful tropical fish to spotting humpback whales off the bow of the ship, listen to the siren call of the Caribbean.
Escape to a wonderful world of salt-white sands and swaying palms, poolside lounging, and extraordinary cuisine inspired by the region, during Queen Elizabeth®’s maiden season from Miami. Here's why we think you should go … for five great reasons.

1. Iconic Ships
Choose the Queen Elizabeth® or the Queen Mary 2® for a perfect blend of sophistication, style, and sunshine. Feel special, be inspired, and enjoy a unique sense of freedom onboard as you relish the natural beauty of the Caribbean.
2. Relaxed Days at Sea
Cunard combines your full days in several ports of call with at least one luxurious day at sea for dining, unwinding, and taking in the scenery.
3. Plenty of Time in Port
Hop off the ship on idyllic islands on full days in port, including an overnight in Barbados. You’ll have more time to indulge in your personal passions and thrilling onshore experiences.
4. Escape the Cold
Trade winter’s chill for the Caribbean sun with 12- to 35-night voyages that balance time ashore in St. Maarten and Dominica with the tropical delights of St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Barbados, and beyond.
5. Ease of Travel
Sail roundtrip from convenient ports in New York or Miami to the Caribbean. Cunard takes care of all the details, from booking flights to transporting luggage, so you can jump into vacation mode.
Grill Suites
If you’re sailing in such epic destinations as rugged Alaska or the enticing Caribbean, go ahead and make your accommodations spectacular, too.
