Cunard’s 2026 Alaska voyages are now open for booking.

The line will have Queen Elizabeth sailing round trip from Seattle to No. 49, with voyages ranging from 7 to 12 nights. 

Queen Elizabeth will offer 15 departures from May through September, visiting iconic destinations like Ketchikan, Juneau, Haines and Glacier Bay National Park.

“Alaska is a truly unique destination, and we're delighted to return with our 2026 program,” says Katie McAlister, president of Cunard. “Sailing through its spectacular fjords and seeing the immense glaciers is an experience like no other. On board, guests can sip regionally inspired cocktails, enjoy cuisine influenced by local flavors, and hear fascinating stories from renowned explorers. These voyages promise to create unforgettable memories, and we can't wait to welcome our guests on board Queen Elizabeth.”

Also in 2026, Queen Elizabeth will offer eight sailings through the Panama Canal. All told, the ship will visit 31 destinations in 16 countries, such as Colón, Panama, and Bridgetown, Barbados.

Guests who book voyages of 10 to 20 nights by March 26 can enjoy up to $800 in onboard credits per stateroom.
