Detailed answer

Cunard was founded in 1840 and is headquartered at Carnival House in Southampton. It is part of Carnival Corporation and is operated by Carnival UK. The fleet has four ships: Queen Mary 2 (2003), Queen Victoria (2007), Queen Elizabeth (2010) and Queen Anne, which began sailing in May 2024. Queen Mary 2 is known for its transatlantic crossings to and from New York. Cunard's 2027 programme has Queen Anne and Queen Victoria sailing round trips from Southampton, and Queen Elizabeth returning to Europe for Mediterranean voyages from May to October 2027.

Which of its ships call at Gibraltar?

In the Port of Gibraltar schedule checked on Thursday 15 October 2026, Cunard has two calls, both in 2027. Queen Anne is due on Sunday 18 April 2027, from 08:00 to 14:00. Queen Elizabeth is due on Saturday 8 May 2027, from 08:00 to 18:00, with about 2,068 passengers, mainly British. The list on this page updates as the schedule changes.

What should Cunard passengers know about Gibraltar?

Gibraltar's currency is the pound sterling, with Gibraltar and UK notes, and cards are widely accepted, so British passengers can pay much as they would at home. English is the official language, and Gibraltar is on the same time as Spain (Central European Time), which is worth checking against the ship's clock before going ashore. Ships berth at the Gibraltar Cruise Terminal on the North Mole, about a 15-minute walk from Casemates Square and Main Street, and the Upper Rock is reached by taxi tour, minibus tour or on foot while the cable car is closed for a rebuild.
