For 185 years, Cunard has set the standard for ocean travel, blending rich maritime heritage with modern comfort and sophistication. Whether you're dreaming of icy Alaskan landscapes or sun-drenched Caribbean shores, Cunard offers voyages that transform travel into unforgettable experiences. 

 

Alaska 

Let 2025 be your year of exploration as you journey through Alaska's majestic wilderness aboard Cunard's elegant Queen Elizabeth. Navigate through glacier-carved fjords, witness towering ice formations, and immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of the Last Frontier. From whale watching in pristine waters to experiencing authentic Native Alaskan culture, each moment promises to be an unforgettable addition to your travel legacy. 

Voyages to Alaska with Cunard range from 7 to 11 days of pure adventure. The cruise season in Alaska typically runs from May to September, encompassing the warmest months of the year, with June and July offering the mildest weather and longest daylight hours. Alaska is also known as one of the best places in the U.S. to witness the magical Northern Lights. 

Alaska Highlights: 

  • Hubbard Glacier 
  • Tracy Arm Fjord 
  • Wildlife Spotting 
  • Alaska Native Heritage Center 
  • The Klondike Highway 

Caribbean 

Escape to a tropical paradise with Cunard's Caribbean voyages, where azure waters and golden shorelines await. Sail between iconic islands while enjoying Cunard's legendary White Star Service under the Caribbean sun. Sample island-inspired cuisine prepared by world-class chefs, explore vibrant coral reefs on curated shore excursions, and dance to the rhythms of local music as you discover the diverse cultures that make the Caribbean a favorite among seasoned travelers. 

Depart from Miami and choose your adventure: 9, 12, or 21 days. When is the best time to cruise the Caribbean? We recommend December to April for a perfect winter escape from colder climates. However, if you're looking for unique wildlife experiences in the Caribbean, consider these times: 

  • June–November: Turtle nesting season on many islands 
  • January–March: Prime time for whale and dolphin watching 

Alaska vs. Caribbean 

When deciding between Alaska and the Caribbean, consider your travel preferences. For adventure seekers or photographers, Alaska is an ideal choice. For those craving warm weather and relaxation, the Caribbean awaits. 

Whichever destination calls to you, a Cunard voyage promises to transform your travel dreams into cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Reach out to your CTG Advisor to start planning today!
