2.0 Deployment.

2.1 Introduction.

In 2018 the Cunard fleet will travel over 226,000 nautical miles visiting incredible places across Europe and around the World. Cunard’s three Queens will call at 120 destinations in 39 different countries, including 20 maiden calls for our current fleet. Each cruise, whether it’s a 2 night Short Break or a 24 night Caribbean round trip, aims to deliver “luxury on a grand scale” for our customers. For full details see Programme Highlights.

Distinction.Cunard’s deployment helps to set the brand apart by offering cruises that are different from those operated by other cruise lines:

Cunard is the only cruise company to offer a regular service of Transatlantic Crossings. We offer 22 crossings in 2018 (see Transatlantic Crossings).

Cunard offers a truly flexible Mediterranean Fly-Cruise programme that allows guests the opportunity to embark on voyages lasting from 7 to 21 nights (see Mediterranean Fly).

Balance (Port days).Cunard’s research has shown that it is important to strike the right balance between port days and sea days on any cruise. Days at sea are important on a Cunard cruise because the ships themselves are a destination. Our itineraries have been designed to offer enriching days in port as well as plenty of time on board for guests to experience all the ships have to offer.

The majority of cruises in 2018 have a sea day on the first day after embarkation, so that guests can settle in and familiarise themselves with the ship; most also have a sea day on the day before disembarkation to allow guests time to relax and pack before leaving.

Iconic destinations.The destinations visited are one of the main reasons why people choose to take a cruise. The most iconic destinations all share qualities that fit the Cunard brand values such as history, glamour, romance and renown. We ensure that all Cunard cruises feature destinations that consistently receive the highest customer satisfaction scores.

New for 2018, Cunard has introduced more variety into the programme, including a number of new cruise types which are designed to appeal to experienced guests. These cruises feature the perfect mix of favourite iconic ports with lesser-known destinations.

For more information please see the Programme Highlights section.

Awe-inspiring backdrops.One of the distinctions of travelling on a cruise ship is being able to see sights from on board that you wouldn’t see on another form of travel. Being able to witness spectacular scenery or see a famous man-made landmark from a unique point of view enhances and adds the finishing touch to any luxury voyage.

See the Programme Highlights section for information on key sights and scenic cruising opportunities.

Additional information.The Christmas and New Year's Eve cruise for each of the three ships will not be placed on sale until 2017, therefore they have been excluded from the voyage list.

Overnight calls in spectacular destinations:

Some destinations offer so much for our guests to experience that we believe they deserve two full days in port to truly do them justice. The overnight stays listed below allow for more in-depth exploration of the destinations and a chance to experience the local night life by going ashore in the evening.

Evenings in port (ship departs 21:00 or later):

Having plenty of time in port is important for getting the most out of a destination. We offer a number of late evening departures to allow our guests time to explore at their leisure, where they have a chance to have dinner ashore or take a special evening tour.
