Cunard's Queen Elizabeth to sail roundtrip voyages from Seattle to Alaska in 2026

Cunard has unveiled its Alaska 2026 program, offering travellers a chance to embark on an adventure through one of the world's most awe-inspiring destinations.

Between May and September 2026, Queen Elizabeth will sail 15 roundtrip voyages from Seattle, ranging from seven to 12 nights. 

Guests looking for a longer vacation that combines contrasting destinations can enjoy extended voyages of up to 42 nights, taking in the landscapes of Alaska, the tropical beauty of the Caribbean, and the Panama Canal.

An additional highlight to Cunard's 2026 season is eight voyages through the Panama Canal, unlocking enticing destinations and experiences. 

Cunard's 2026 program on Queen Elizabeth features visits to 31 unique destinations across 16 countries, including highlights such as Colón, Panama, and Bridgetown, Barbados. Voyages are available to book from 5 a.m. PT on January 8, 2025, and guests can claim up to $800 onboard credit per stateroom* for bookings made between January 8 and March 26, 2025.

This Onboard Credit allows guests to indulge in Cunard's signature luxury, whether that means unwinding with a spa treatment, savoring fine dining, or enjoying exceptional shore experiences. Highlights include the opportunity to witness humpback whales in their natural habitat as Queen Elizabeth sails through Alaska's glacier-filled fjords.

Prices for a 10-night Seattle roundtrip to Alaska (Q620) in July 2026 currently start from $2069 per person based on two sharing a Britannia Balcony stateroom.

"Alaska is a truly unique destination, and we're delighted to return with our 2026 program. Sailing through its spectacular fjords and seeing the immense glaciers is an experience like no other. On board, guests can sip regionally inspired cocktails, enjoy cuisine influenced by local flavors, and hear fascinating stories from renowned explorers. These voyages promise to create unforgettable memories, and we can't wait to welcome our guests on board Queen Elizabeth," said Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, in a press release.
