$9999—Save $4070 on Cunard voyage to Sydney via Panama Canal
Sail with Cunard London to Sydney, crossing the Atlantic, Pacific and the legendary Panama Canal
Why We Love This Deal
While Imagine Cruising’s previous Cunard half-world package proved popular with members, this new 48-night voyage offers the scenic route home. Queen Anne sails to Sydney from Southampton, crossing the Atlantic before Panama and the Pacific. It leaves wintry Britain behind and eases toward warmer waters. First comes the Azores, then Florida’s coast and Cartagena’s colour. The full Panama Canal transit is the centrepiece. Here, the ship crosses from one ocean to another. From there, the voyage opens wide. Central America and Mexico lead to an overnight stay in Los Angeles. After that, the Pacific becomes the story. Hawaii gives you Honolulu and Kona without rushing either. Fiji adds the final tropical pause before Sydney Harbour. This is a voyage where sea days carry real weight. Cunard suits that slower scale. Afternoon tea, gala evenings, live music and full-board dining give the weeks texture. The result feels organised, elegant and worth planning around now.
Starting at just $9999, we found that the cruise-only price can go as high as $11,999. Imagine Cruising’s complete package, with cruise, flights, a 4-star London stay and all transfers, starts from just $9999 per person. We worked the sums and found savings of up to 29% or $4070 per person versus self-packaging options.
