The line will offer 10 round-trip sailings from Vancouver, ranging from nine to 12 nights. Each Alaska voyage will visit destinations along the northwest acific coast of lasa and ritish Columbia, including Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka. More than 120 excursions are


on offer across the programme, including cruising the narrow

waterways of the Inside Passage, the Hubbard Glacier and Sawyer laciers tin fjords, and Tracy rm and ndicott rm fjords. A nine-night Alaska sailing, departing Vancouver on August 11,


2020, calls at Juneau, Tracy Arm and Skagway in the US, and Prince Rupert and Victoria in Canada, and leads in at £2,999. Cunard president Simon


Palethorpe said: “We have had an incredible response to Cunard reinstating voyages to the beautiful Alaska frontier and are delighted to be offering more than double the number of Cunard sailings for 2020. “Guests will sail on the newly


refurbished Queen Elizabeth, visiting Alaskan towns and spending longer time in port to enjoy these reathtaing destinations.” Cunard will continue its partnership with Rocky


Mountaineer, offering pre and post-cruise tours on the railroad. Tours include either three


or five nights accommodation and two full days on board the train, which travels through the Canadian Rockies. In between its Alaskan


itineraries, Queen Elizabeth will sail to San Francisco for a three-day trip including an overnight stay on Independence Day on July 4. A 16-night itinerary sails from


San Francisco back to Vancouver from July 5-21. Alaskan voyages can also be combined with a 29-night Cunard sailing from Vancouver to Tokyo,


departing on August 29. cunard.co.uk
