2008 will mark an exciting year on the Cunard calendar. For the first time in history, three Cunard Queens will be in service simultaneously and the newest, Queen Victoria, will embark on 21 voyages that will include maiden calls around the world.
Queen Victoria`s 2008 programme is highlighted by Cunard`s return to Scandinavia and Russia, as well as eight different Mediterranean itineraries. The schedule also features visits to Norway, the Canary Islands and the Caribbean on itineraries of four to 22 days.
Among the highlights are three 14-day Russian Rendezvous itineraries circling the Baltic Sea and featuring two full days in St. Petersburg, Russia; a full range of Mediterranean ports featuring Egypt and the Greek Isles, and the ports of the Eastern and Western Mediterranean including Monte Carlo, Florence and Instanbul; and a 22-day Caribbean Holiday voyage. These voyages follow Queen Victoria`s 106-night Maiden World Cruise and will be detailed in Cunard`s 2008 Voyages brochure to be published in mid-April.
This is an exciting time in our history, says Carol Marlow, president of Cunard Line. Even as Queen Victoria is under construction, we have been at work mapping out an incredible itinerary of fascinating places to show off this extraordinary new ship. Whether a guest is sailing with Cunard for the first time, or the fortieth time, Queen Victoria will offer an array of once-in-a-lifetime experiences reminiscent of the Golden Age of Ocean Travel.
