Cunard's fleet

Cunard ramps up sailings to sunny Barbados

SOUTHAMPTON, UK — Cunard has announced 13 new voyages with ports of call to Barbados aboard its iconic Queens ships.

The new voyages went on sale yesterday, March 7, 2024, in addition to the six already on sale for late 2024 to 2026.

Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth will visit Barbados nine times through 2025 and 2026 with the launch of a new Caribbean program of sailings from Miami. When the ship sails to Bridgetown in October 2025 as part of its 12-night Eastern Caribbean voyage, it will be the first time it will have called at Barbados since November 2015.

Cunard’s flagship and the world’s only ocean liner, Queen Mary 2, will call six times at the island between November 2024 and December 2026 during its Caribbean sailings from Southampton, UK and New York. Completing the visits, Queen Victoria will call at the island three times in 2025 and 2026 as part of its Caribbean voyages sailing out of Southampton.

“Barbados is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world and we are thrilled to announce that we are significantly increasing the number of times our guests will be able to explore the breathtaking shores of this gorgeous island in the coming years. We are proud pioneers of luxury ocean travel and there are few experiences more luxurious than sailing to the charming port of Bridgetown to sample a unique slice of Caribbean culture,” said Katie McAlister, President of Cunard.

With over 300 new voyages, Cunard’s ships – Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth and its newest vessel, Queen Anne – will call at 184 unique destinations around the world, including 70 countries and 108 UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Queen Elizabeth will introduce a new program in the Caribbean, sailing 33 voyages of nine-, 12- and 21-night roundtrips from Miami, visiting San Juan, Puerto Rico; Montego bay, Jamaica; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; Roatan, Honduras; and Tortola, Antigua, Barbados and St. Lucia.
