For over 180 years, Cunard has set (and raised) the bar for ocean travel. 2023 marks 100 years since RMS Laconia completed Cunard’s first world voyage, and this commemorates that they have been sailing around the world for a century.
Join Cunard in 2023 as they celebrate 100 years of world voyages. From fabulous destinations to magical events, a world cruise is a travel experience you will never forget.
The world awaits, and Cunard’s 2023 cruises offer journeys laced with intrigue and wonder. Cunard provides more than just an elegant way to travel – they allow you to witness the wonders of our planet up close to explore iconic bucket list ports, or to discover the hidden streets of mysterious ports worldwide while experiencing their history, art, and culture. A centenary world voyage is an unprecedented opportunity for you or someone special to you to experience a once-in-a-lifetime journey commemorating Cunard’s proud history.
Are you planning to visit Australia next year? Consider flying there and cruising home! Queen Mary 2 will depart from Sydney on 12 March 2023, docking in Cape Town on 7 April 2023. So you can visit your friends and family and look forward to a cruise back home. Or, consider giving the ultimate gift and bringing loved ones to your hometown in style! The trip includes a packed itinerary, including Melbourne, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide, Busselton, Perth, Port Louis – Mauritius, Réunion, Durban, Port Elizabeth, and Cape Town.
Alternatively, you can board from Perth on 21 March 2023 for a 17-night cruise via Port Louis – Mauritius, Réunion, Durban, Port Elizabeth, and to Cape Town.
If Australia is not on your agenda, there are two thrilling opportunities to cruise from Cape Town to New York or Southampton. Leaving Cape Town on 7 April 2023, you can enjoy the elegance of QM2 for 16 nights on the way to Southampton via Walvis Bay and Tenerife. Or head off to New York on 7 April 2023, spending 23 nights on board. Having visited Walvis Bay, Tenerife, and Southampton, you’ll dock in New York on 30 April 2023.
It’s not often (enough) that luxury ocean liners visit our shores, allowing South Africans to depart from or return to our own country. Now you can do just that and be a part of Cunard’s centenary world cruises.
Give our cruise specialists a call today, and let’s get you looking forward to the most incredible holiday adventure in 2023.
