$12,499—67-nt Cunard half-world voyage to London, save $7100
From Sydney to Southampton, Queen Anne moves gradually through Asia, Africa and Europe by sea slowly
Why We Love This Deal
Change is constant and gradual on this epic voyage. Climate, coastline and culture shift across this 67-day Cunard holiday. The cruise leaves Sydney in late summer. It starts by following the warmth through Asia and the Indian Ocean. From there, it continues to South Africa, the Atlantic islands and England. It is not just a crossing. It is the world cooling, port by port. We love the pace of this well-loved route. Queensland eases you in before sailing through Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia. Hong Kong and Singapore are given time after dark, when markets and city streets feel most alive. Mauritius and Réunion bring a slower island pause before South Africa shifts the journey again. In Gqeberha and Cape Town, the extra time allows for deeper wildlife, coastal and city exploration. The final stretch heads north through Cape Verde, Gran Canaria and Madeira before Southampton. Queen Anne fits this itinerary particularly well. It’s a ship designed for longer voyages where life onboard becomes just as important as the destinations themselves. Flights back to Australia, a London stay, and transfers are included, making this a smooth-sailing long-form Cunard journey.
Starting at $12,499 per person, (that's just $187-a-night,) this sold-out Sydney-to-Southampton Cunard sector is not currently available direct with Cunard. While limited availability appears on other platforms, our research found you can’t put this package together for less.

Itinerary highlights
In Sydney, an overnight stay in port gives you time to settle into life onboard before the voyage begins the following day.
Through Brisbane, the river curls between subtropical parklands, outdoor dining precincts and a city designed for warm evenings outdoors.
At Airlie Beach, the Whitsundays scatter across brilliant turquoise water, where white-sand beaches and anchored yachts define the coastline.
From Yorkeys Knob, the tropical north opens into rainforest-covered mountains and reef-fringed coastline, with Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef close by.
In Bitung, dense jungle presses against the volcanic shoreline, creating a dramatic gateway into North Sulawesi’s remote landscapes and rich marine life.
Through Manila, Spanish-era churches, crowded jeepneys and busy market streets reveal the intensity and layered history of the Filipino capital.
An overnight stay in Hong Kong gives you time to move between harbourfront bars, glowing street markets and neon-lit districts long after the sun goes down.
An overnight stay in Laem Chabang opens the door to Bangkok after dark, where river ferries, rooftop dining and ornate temples sit among the city’s constant movement.
At Ko Samui, palm-lined beaches, jungle-covered hills and relaxed waterfront villages create a slower island pace within the Gulf of Thailand.
An overnight stay in Singapore allows more time among futuristic towers, waterfront gardens and crowded hawker centres, where tropical heat and precision design exist side by side.
Through Port Klang, the route into Kuala Lumpur reveals mosque domes, colonial facades, street-food alleys and the Petronas Towers rising above the skyline.
In Penang, colourful shophouses, vibrant street art and renowned hawker food shape the atmosphere of George Town’s UNESCO-listed streets.
At Port Louis, market stalls spill into colourful streets beneath volcanic peaks, reflecting the island’s blend of Creole, Indian and French influence.
In Le Port, Réunion’s rugged volcanic interior rises sharply from the coastline, where waterfalls, lava fields and mountain scenery dominate the island.
Arriving in Durban, warm Indian Ocean beaches meet spice-filled food culture and strong Zulu heritage along South Africa’s eastern coast.
An overnight stay in Gqeberha brings more time along the country’s southern shoreline, where oceanfront scenery and nearby wildlife reserves shape the region.
With another overnight stay in Cape Town, there’s time to move between Table Mountain, coastal drives, wine estates and the energy of the V&A Waterfront.
In Mindelo, pastel-colonial buildings, harbourfront bars, and live music spilling into the streets reveal the creative spirit of Cape Verde.
At Gran Canaria, volcanic cliffs drop toward beach towns and Atlantic surf along one of the Canary Islands’ most varied coastlines.
In Funchal, steep terraced hillsides, botanical gardens and old-world cafés overlook the Atlantic beneath Madeira’s subtropical climate.
Arriving in Southampton, the journey concludes with a final overnight stay in London, where theatre districts, riverside walks and historic landmarks bring a last shift back into city life before returning to Australia.
