Cunard reveals first 2026 Event Voyages line-up
Cunard has unveiled the first wave of its 2026 Event Voyages, with five themed sailings announced across Queen Mary 2 and the line’s newest ship, Queen Anne.
These special cruises are a chance to dive deeper into the worlds of theatre, music, wellness, literature and history through curated experiences, workshops and performances featuring big-name partners and talent.
The line-up kicks off on 22 May with the return of London Theatre at Sea with the Olivier Awards. Curated by Julian Bird OBE, the transatlantic crossing on Queen Mary 2 will feature a full programme of theatrical performances and behind-the-scenes talks, culminating in The Oliviers in Concert, a one-off show celebrating the history of the iconic awards. Prices start from £1,249 for a Balcony Stateroom.
Cunard’s ties to North America take centre stage on 3 July with Sail4th250, marking 250 years of American independence. Queen Mary 2 will be in New York as part of the wider celebrations, reinforcing the line’s longstanding connection with the US and its maritime history. This seven-night round-trip voyage from New York calls at Newport (Rhode Island, USA) and Halifax (Canada). Prices start from £1,799 for a Balcony Stateroom.
In July, Queen Anne will sail into Norway’s fjords for Wellness at Sea, created in partnership with Harper’s Bazaar. The itinerary promises a mix of expert talks, fitness sessions and time to recharge, all set against one of Europe’s most serene backdrops. Prices start from £1,149 for a Balcony Stateroom.
September brings a return for classical favourite Anthony Inglis & the National Symphony Orchestra, with two exclusive evening concerts on board, on a Queen Mary 2 transatlantic crossing. Prices start from £1,549 for a Balcony Stateroom.
