ITINERARY

32-Night Miami to Seattle Adventure with Cunard

This voyage offers the ultimate combination of culture, relaxation, and exploration. Begin in Miami with its lively beaches and art deco charm before setting sail to the Caribbean’s most colorful ports — Antigua, St. Lucia, and Barbados, where vibrant traditions meet turquoise waters.

From there, the ship makes its way south to Cartagena, a city wrapped in colonial history and coastal flair, before entering one of the world’s greatest engineering marvels: a full transit of the Panama Canal. On the Pacific side, Costa Rica’s lush rainforests and Mexico’s stunning beaches — including Cabo San Lucas and Huatulco — await your exploration.

Your journey culminates with the glamour of Los Angeles before ending in Seattle, with its dramatic mountain-and-sea backdrop. Between ports, enjoy luxurious days at sea aboard Queen Elizabeth — a ship that blends timeless Cunard heritage with modern comforts. With over a month of exploration, this cruise is a rare opportunity to connect with multiple cultures, coastlines, and unforgettable experiences in a single voyage.
