The latest release introduces dedicated visits focused on key elements of the Cunard experience, including wellness, enrichment and its exclusive Grill Suites, giving agents the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and confidently bring the luxury brand to life for their customers.

- 9 October – Southampton, Queen Anne (Wellness focus)
- 11 November – Southampton, Queen Victoria

The additional dates build on Cunard’s expanded 2026 programme, which will see more than 900 travel agent partners welcomed on board across the year, double the capacity offered in 2025. The announcement comes as Cunard’s summer 2028 programme goes on general sale today, offering 190 voyages visiting 125 destinations in 36 countries.
The programme includes the highly anticipated Four Queen Celebration on 16 May 2028, offering guests the chance to be part of history when all four Queens meet in Liverpool for the first time. The new season provides agents with more choice and flexibility than ever before to match their customers with the perfect Cunard voyage.
To support the launch, Cunard hosted a series of webinars covering programme highlights available to catch up online. Travel agents can also sign up for upcoming webinars, including Queen Anne and the Norwegian Fjords on 9 June, and dining on board a Cunard Queen on 23 June.
Iain Baillie, Associate Vice President of UK and EMEA Sales, said: “Following strong interest in our 2026 ship visit programme, we’re delighted to release a further wave of opportunities for our travel agent partners. These themed visits are designed to give deeper insight into some of the experiences that set Cunard apart – from our Grill Suites to our wellness offering, helping agents sell with even greater confidence.
“With our highly-anticipated 2028 programme on sale, there’s never been a better time for agents to engage with Cunard and discover everything our iconic fleet has to offer.”
Travel agents can register for ship visits and familiarisation trips via Shine Rewards Club, Cunard’s agent loyalty programme.
