Cunard Adds New Cruise Itineraries for Summer 2020

Summer of 2020 for Cunard cruises looks very promising with new ports, additional transatlantic crossings and even new itineraries for Japan are added. Queen Mary 2 cruises across the Atlantic will total 19 crossings from April to December. All three ships will have new cruises to choose in 2020.

New Ports

New voyages will include visits to the Norwegian Fjords, Japan and Australia. A total of eight maiden calls will include Bornholm, Denmark; Nordfjordeid, Norway; Ringaskiddy, Ireland; Jakarta, Indonesia. Three new ports in Japan are  Kurhiro, Ishigaki and Tokyo.

Cunard will also offer a selection of two-night calls in major cities including Barcelona, Hong Kong and Québec and late evening departures which allow guests more time in port for deeper exploration in places such as Juneau, Alaska, Aomori, Japan , Malaga, Spain, and Tromsø, Norway.

Cunard will continue many of its classic voyages, including its signature Transatlantic Crossing between New York and London, while adding new itineraries in Western Europe and Southeast Asia. Whether choosing a three-night short break or a 19-night Grand Voyage, Cunard guests will enjoy a blend of iconic, world-class cities and lesser-known, charming destinations.

“2020 represents the most extensive deployment of Cunard ships ever,” said Josh Leibowitz, SVP Cunard North America. “In addition to visiting incredible destinations such as Norway, Japan, and Asia, we are excited to offer guests longer time in port to enjoy these iconic destinations. Nearly 90% of all port calls on voyages in Summer 2020 are in port 10 hours or longer.”
