In 2025, thrill-seekers can set off on an extraordinary sea adventure as Cunard unveils its much-anticipated Alaska 2025 season. Departing from Seattle, the renowned luxury cruise line is thrilled to announce that Queen Elizabeth will offer a total of 11 voyages in Alaska, spanning from 7 to 11 nights, commencing on June 12 and continuing until September 25.

The opportunity to secure bookings for these voyages begins at 9 a.m. EST today, exclusively for Cunard World Club Members, and will be open to all starting at 9 a.m. EST on December 13.

Whether you’re gazing at whales from your stateroom or exploring the wonders of The Great Land ashore, Queen Elizabeth provides an unmatched opportunity for guests to fully immerse themselves in Alaska and discover a world filled with unique experiences and unexpected inspiration. With Alaska Native Voices onboard, featuring a Cultural Heritage Guide, as well as a Naturalist on each voyage to provide insightful deck commentary, there’s simply no better way to soak in the breathtaking landscapes and local culture of Alaska than with Cunard.

With 24 late evening departures, guests will have ample time to explore charming port cities like Ketchikan, known for its vibrant totem poles, and Sitka, where 22 historic buildings have earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.

The breathtaking Hubbard Glacier is an absolute must-see for travelers exploring this enchanting region, and at Icy Strait Point, guests can partake in thrilling whale-watching expeditions or experience the exhilaration of riding the world’s largest zipline.

Meanwhile, the UNESCO-listed Glacier Bay National Park, with its ice-capped mountains and towering glaciers, is sure to be a highlight of any Alaskan voyage. Additional ports of call include Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord, Endicott Arm, and Hubbard Glacier.

Onboard Queen Elizabeth, guests will be completely immersed in the Alaskan experience. Renowned explorers and accomplished adventurers will share their daring exploits, adding a unique educational element to the journey. This season, we are honored to have legendary mountaineer Kenton Cool, fearless polar skier Preet Chandi, and acclaimed wildlife filmmaker Doug Allen onboard. Their expertise promises to elevate each voyage, and we can only anticipate that 2025 will bring an even more remarkable lineup of captivating programming.

Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “We are incredibly excited to offer guests the new opportunity of embarking on a roundtrip journey to Alaska from Seattle. In response to strong guest demand, Cunard is presenting a complete summer season in Alaska, enabling travelers to delve into the region’s wildlife and visit extraordinary cities, all while enjoying extended stays in port to fully savor this captivating destination.”
