VALENCIA — Cunard has announced details about its summer 2020 program, which includes new voyages to the Norwegian Fjords, Japan and Australia.
In total, the Cunard fleet – which comprises Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria – will travel over 169,000 nautical miles with calls at 110 destinations in 34 countries, with eight maiden calls including: Bornholm, Denmark; Nordfjordeid, Norway; Ringaskiddy, Ireland; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Kurhiro, Ishigaki and Tokyo, Japan.
Cunard will also offer a selection of two-night calls in major cities like Barcelona, Hong Kong and Quebec, and late evening departures that allow guests more time in port in places such as Juneau, Alaska, Aomori, Japan, Malaga, Spain and Tromso, Norway.
“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.”
