$187 a nt—Cunard half-world cruise to UK w/free air & stay
Sail through 11 countries on Queen Mary 2—where grand adventure meets Cunard-style luxury.
Why We Love This Deal
No one does world cruising like Cunard. They invented it in 1922 and have set the standard ever since. This half-world cruise takes you on the most iconic leg of their legendary World Voyage: Sydney to Southampton. Join explorers, royals, and romantics who’ve crossed oceans aboard Cunard’s grand Queen Mary 2. You'll visit 11 countries and 17 ports. It’s the perfect blend of far-flung adventure and indulgent sea days. Think tropical Cairns, rooftop gardens in Singapore, wine in Cape Town, and flamenco in Spain. From Oceania to Asia, Africa to Europe, this epic, four-continent voyage is wrapped in white-gloved service and oceanfront elegance.
On board, expect gala nights, live classical music, and Cunard’s famous afternoon tea, served just how you like it. There’s fine dining and endless ocean views. Your journey ends in London with an overnight 4-star hotel stay. Then, your included flight takes you home to Australia. This is slow, stylish travel for grown-ups. And it’s a jaw-dropping deal.
The cruise alone usually costs $14,799 per person. But with Imagine Cruising, this 59-night holiday is just $10,999, saving you up to $5700. That’s like getting a 4-star London stay and return flight for free. For under $187 a night, you’ll enjoy full-board luxury, classic Cunard service, and an unforgettable journey.
