Top Destinations
In 2019 the Queen Elizabeth started cruising the spectacular Alaska which quickly became a hit with the guests. The ship sets sail in Vancouver and visits some of the most scenic ports in the region.
Another reason we all love the Queen Elizabeth is that it regularly homeports Down Under. So starting around November and ending in March every year, you can jump on board the legendary ship and explore your own backyard in style.
Top Departure Ports
Southampton is the primary departure port for the Queen Elizabeth, thus a lot of the cruises will set sail from there. Ask your cruise consultant about our DreamAway Packages that include flights, hotel stays and transfers to take the stress out of your dream cruise holiday.
If you are not into venturing too far out, check out Queen Elizabeth’s departures from a home port near you. The most popular of those are Melbourne and Sydney.
