Few names in travel carry as much legacy and refinement as Cunard. Now, in celebration of 185 years at sea, the British cruise line is marking the occasion with a promotion as expansive as its reach. The 185th Anniversary Sale, available through July 9, 2025, offers fares starting at $899 per person and $185 in onboard credit per stateroom, spanning 185 curated sailings across some of the world’s most coveted destinations.
The sale applies to voyages through 2027, encompassing a wide array of itineraries aboard Cunard’s renowned fleet: the Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, the newly enhanced Queen Elizabeth, and the line’s newest vessel, Queen Anne.
A Legacy in Motion
“Cunard has been crafting memorable journeys for nearly two centuries, and this milestone is an opportunity to give something back to our guests,” said Liz Fettes, Senior Vice President, Commercial for North America.
“With Queen Elizabeth homeporting in Miami for the first time, we’re thrilled to offer travelers a completely new take on Caribbean cruising—one that’s shaped by Cunard’s elegance and legendary White Star Service.”

Highlights from the Anniversary Collection
Queen Elizabeth in Alaska
This summer, Queen Elizabeth sails from Seattle for the first time, embarking on a series of seven- to 11-night cruises through Alaska’s glacial frontiers. Itineraries include immersive experiences through Glacier Bay National Park, Hubbard Glacier, and Tracy Arm Fjord, as well as full port days in Juneau, Sitka, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Icy Strait Point.
Queen Elizabeth in the Caribbean
Starting October 16, Queen Elizabeth shifts to a winter itinerary based out of Miami, charting a refined path through the Caribbean until April 14. Guests can explore destinations including St. Lucia, Jamaica, St. Thomas, Honduras, Puerto Rico, and Barbados—with the added layer of Cunard’s attention to detail and elevated onboard offerings.
Transatlantic Fashion Week on Queen Mary 2
One of Cunard’s most unique Event Voyages returns this fall: Transatlantic Fashion Week, a seven-night crossing from New York to Southampton, sailing October 31–November 7, 2025. The journey will be headlined by designer Christian Siriano, with appearances by Coco Rocha, Bob Mackie, and other fashion luminaries. Attendees will enjoy runway shows, panel discussions, and behind-the-scenes insight—all at sea, aboard the ocean liner that has defined transatlantic glamour for generations.
A Modern Take on Maritime Tradition
While Cunard is known for its historic crossings and refined ambiance, its recent evolution—including Queen Elizabeth’s refreshed interiors and the introduction of Queen Anne—signals a continued investment in the future of luxury cruising. The 185th Anniversary Sale isn’t just a nod to the past; it’s a celebration of what comes next.
From Mediterranean sunsets to Panama Canal passages, this is a rare opportunity to experience Cunard’s signature elegance at a more accessible entry point—with the added bonus of onboard credit to elevate the journey even further.
