Britain, the Mediterranean & the Norwegian Fjords: Three Queens of Cunard Grand European Voyage

Your package begins as you fly from the US to your destination.

Arriving in the UK, transfer onward to the elegant spa city of Bath for a two-night stay. Renowned for its honey-hued Georgian crescents and Roman-built baths, it’s the perfect place to shake off jet lag before your voyage begins.

Spend a leisurely day discovering Bath at your own pace. Wander past the golden stone facades of the Royal Crescent, browse independent boutiques, or perhaps relax with a traditional afternoon tea before your cruise gets underway tomorrow.

Today, transfer to Southampton to embark Queen Victoria, the first of three ships awaiting you on this journey. Settle into your stateroom and raise a glass as the ship slips its moorings, bound for the Mediterranean.

Portugal’s sun-bleached capital rises from the Tagus River in a patchwork of pastel facades and cobbled hills. Ride the historic Elevador da Bica, wander the Alfama’s narrow lanes, or simply savor a custard tart with a view over the rooftops.

Sardinia’s capital blends golden beaches with a fortified old town perched high above the harbor. Climb into the Castello district for sweeping views, browse the bustling market stalls, or relax on the sands of Poetto Beach just beyond the city.

This small Greek port is best known as the gateway to Olympia, birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games. Venture inland to wander the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and the original stadium, or perhaps stay closer to the harbor’s seafood tavernas.

Lush and green against the Ionian Sea, Corfu Town charms with Venetian arcades, a French-style promenade, and a fortress guarding the old harbor. Wander the cricket pitch at the Spianada, or lose yourself in the maze of Kanoni’s backstreets.

Encircled by medieval walls that plunge straight into the Adriatic, Dubrovnik’s Old Town is a maze of marble streets and terracotta rooftops. Walk the ramparts for views across the sea, or ride the cable car up Mount Srd for a bird’s-eye perspective.

Step into living history at Split, where Roman Emperor Diocletian’s ancient palace still forms the beating heart of the city. Wander marble squares filled with cafés and boutiques, or continue along the coast to the walled town of Trogir.

Malta’s fortress capital rises in golden limestone above the Grand Harbour, its Baroque churches and grand palaces reflecting centuries of Knights Hospitaller history. Explore St John’s Co-Cathedral, or wander the bastions for panoramic views across the water.

One of Europe’s oldest cities, Cádiz greets you with golden beaches and an atmospheric old quarter of narrow lanes and hidden plazas. Or perhaps venture inland to Seville, where flamenco rhythms, orange-tree courtyards, and a soaring cathedral await.

Return to Southampton today, where a short and seamless transfer takes you straight from Queen Victoria onto her sister ship, Queen Anne, ready to continue your voyage north to the Norwegian Fjords.

Norway’s oil-rich port city sits at the gateway to the steep-sided Lysefjord, its wooden Old Town a maze of white clapboard houses and cobbled lanes. Climb toward Pulpit Rock’s clifftop views, or wander the harborside cafés of Stavanger itself.

Framed by snow-capped peaks and cascading waterfalls, tiny Olden sits at the head of the Nordfjord in classic fjordland scenery. Take an excursion to the milky-blue waters of Briksdal Glacier, or simply soak up the mountain views from the village itself.

Rebuilt in flowing Art Nouveau style after a devastating fire, Ålesund is one of Norway’s most architecturally striking towns. Climb the Fjellstua viewpoint for panoramas across the islands, or wander the harborfront lined with turrets and ornate facades.

Known as Norway’s birthplace as a nation, Haugesund sits amid a scattering of islands along the country’s rugged west coast. Explore its Viking history at nearby Haraldshaugen, or wander the colorful streets of this compact coastal town.

Disembark in Southampton and transfer to London for a four-night hotel stay, your base for exploring one of the world’s great capitals. Settle in this evening, ready to make the most of everything the city has to offer.

London is yours to explore at your own pace today. Ride the London Eye for skyline views, browse the stalls of Borough Market, or simply stroll along the Thames past the Houses of Parliament.

Today’s included tour takes you to the Tower of London, the historic fortress founded by William the Conqueror nearly a thousand years ago. Explore the grounds where kings and queens once lived, and come face to face with the dazzling Crown Jewels.

A self-guided tour with transfers included takes you to Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Wander the State Apartments and St George’s Chapel, resting place of Queen Elizabeth II, before returning to London this evening.

Bid farewell to London and transfer back to Southampton to re-embark Queen Anne for the next leg of your journey. Tonight, set sail once more, this time bound for Spain and France.

Basque flavor and modern art await from the port of Getxo, gateway to Bilbao’s shimmering Guggenheim Museum. Or perhaps stay closer to the port, where a striking Belle Époque waterfront awaits exploration.

This Galician port opens the door to Santiago de Compostela, final destination of the centuries-old Camino pilgrimage route. Alternatively, explore A Coruña itself, with its Roman lighthouse and elegant glassed balconies overlooking the Atlantic.

Set on Spain’s rugged northwest coast, Vigo offers a second chance to reach Santiago de Compostela, or perhaps to explore its own atmospheric old town and bustling seafood market. Either way, the flavors of Galicia are close at hand.

Steeped in maritime history as the final port of call for the Titanic, Cherbourg-en-Cotentin blends Normandy charm with rich naval heritage. Explore the imposing Cité de la Mer, or wander the harborside streets of this understated French port.

This afternoon brings a return to Southampton and a transfer to your hotel for a final overnight stay in England. It’s a gentle pause before the last and longest leg of your journey begins.

Transfer back to the port this morning to embark the iconic Queen Mary 2 for your transatlantic crossing. As England slips astern, settle in for seven days at sea unlike any other.

Your voyage concludes in New York City, from where you’re free to make your own way home.
