Destinations
VALENCIA, Calif., Oct. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2019,
Cunard will sail to Alaska, bringing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest to guests once again. A series of voyages beginning in
May 2019 will combine the magnificence of Alaska with the luxury
of Cunard as Queen Elizabeth sails from Japan to
Alaska and then remains in the region through June. The ship will then transport passengers down
the West Coast of the United States, through the Panama Canal to New
York, on to Iceland and the British Isles.
"Cunard is thrilled to make our return to Alaska with our youngest ship Queen Elizabeth," said Josh Leibowitz, Senior VP, Cunard North America. "Our guests can now explore the region on the best itinerary in Alaska—four 10-night
round-trip Vancouver sailings with more time in port and opportunities to visit the natural
wonders of Tracy Arm Fjord and Hubbard Glacier."
To start the Alaska program, Queen Elizabeth will sail from
Tokyo (Yokohama) to Vancouver
with a 27-night voyage on May 5, 2019 (Q915). Guests will cross the International Date Line sailing
to the Alaskan port of Kodiak, home to the Alutiiq people for more than 7,000 years. The next
stop is the beautiful capital of Juneau, then passing the pristine Tracy Arm Fjord or Endicott
Arm, on to the quaint town of Skagway, and Icy Strait Point before visiting Sitka, Ketchikan, Victoria and Vancouver.
Launch fares from $4,409 per person.
Once in Alaska, Queen Elizabeth will offer four 10-night
roundtrip Vancouver sailings, departing May 21, 31, June 10 and 20, 2019. Itineraries feature scenic cruising through the scenic waterways of the famous
Inside Passage as well as full days in several of the region's highlight ports to discover the history and culture of the area.
Guests will experience the gold rush spirit of Skagway and Juneau, the native tribes of Ketchikan and the Russian charm of
Sitka. The itinerary also includes the Tracy Arm Fjord or Endicott Arm, Icy Strait Point, Hubbard Glacier and Victoria.
Launch fares from $1,699 per person.
From Vancouver, Queen Elizabeth heads to the vibrant cities of
San Francisco and then Los Angeles, for a rare overnight stay
on July Fourth, a perfect way to celebrate the diverse beauty of North America. Fares start at
$779 per person for these three- or five-night deployments.
For those looking to expand their adventure, guests can remain on board for the full Grand Voyage. After departing from
Vancouver and stopping in California, the ship continues
through the Panama Canal to Ft. Lauderdale or New York before crossing the Atlantic to reach the
dramatic shores of Reykjavik, Dublin, Glasgow on to London. Grand Voyages can be booked from 21- to 49-nights
with launch fares from $3,479 per person.

Canadian Rockies, through winding river canyons, mountain passes and remarkable tunnels. Highlights include the Continental
