$13,999—4 Queens, 9 countries & 24 ports w/air & stays

Europe is not just another holiday. It is the trip you have imagined for years. The one with history at your feet and beauty around every corner. This grand 46-night European holiday lets you live that dream properly. You sail on all four Cunard Queens through 9 countries and 24 ports, circling some of Europe’s most storied coasts. London and Rome frame the journey beautifully. In between come Spain’s rugged Atlantic coast, Málaga’s Andalusian warmth, Palma’s honey-coloured cathedral and Dubrovnik’s marble lanes. You sail in September, one of Europe’s finest months. Cities regain their rhythm after summer. Mediterranean heat softens and northern seas feel crisp. You are not racing through Europe. You are living inside it, with the full Cunard experience carrying you from chapter to chapter. Better still, Imagine Cruising has taken care of everything for you. International flights, hotel stays, full-board cruising, and transfers are included, so once you leave Australia, the rest feels reassuringly seamless. 

Travelzoo members save an exclusive $1000 per person on Imagine Cruising’s usual prices. That brings this 46-night Four Queens holiday to just $298 a day. We also checked and found it cannot be packaged for less independently. On a trip of this scale, where flights, stays and cruising costs add up quickly, that value is hard to overlook.
