The storied vessel Queen Victoria of Cunard will make her return to Southampton as home port for the 2025-2026 winter season. The ship is scheduled to offer a variety of winter sailings, ranging from short 7-night escapes to extensive 35-night trans-Atlantic cruises. The planned routes encompass Northern Europe, the Canary Islands, and the Caribbean, providing travellers with flexible options spanning brief festive getaways to long tropical retreats.
During the winter deployment from Southampton, Queen Victoria will call at destinations across Scandinavia, the Atlantic islands, and the Caribbean — including voyages that visit Madeira, the Azores, and multiple Caribbean islands.
After completion of the winter schedule in late April 2026, the ship will shift back to the Mediterranean for the summer season. There, new itineraries covering 7- to 21-night cruises will depart from ports in Spain, Italy, and Turkey, with calls at classic Mediterranean and Adriatic destinations.
On board Queen Victoria, travellers can expect the elegant comfort and refined style for which the vessel is known, combined with a diverse set of voyage options that accommodate different types of voyages — from short excursions to months-spanning sea journeys.
