The cruise line will hold four ship visits in Southampton and Liverpool between May and July on Queen Mary, and its newest ship, Queen Anne.
The line says it has doubled the capacity available for travel agents to attend ship visits in 2026, compared with 2025.

By expanding our ship visits and familiarisation programme in 2026, we’re investing in meaningful, first-hand experiences that empower our travel agent partners to tell the iconic Cunard story with authenticity and passion.
