Queen Elizabeth: Brisbane to Southampton

The journey

Ports, sea days and time ashore

The reference route includes Cairns, Yorkey's Knob; Alotau, Papua New Guinea; Okinawa, (Naha), Japan; Kobe, Japan; Kagoshima, Japan; Busan (Pusan), South Korea; Hiroshima, Japan; Inland Sea, Japan. Read the daily itinerary for the order of calls and time at sea; overnight descriptions and port timings need confirmation for your chosen departure.

Southampton is a useful starting point for planning a journey through southern England. Allow time to reach the terminal and confirm the embarkation instructions for your selected sailing.

For Asian ports, plan how you will travel between the terminal and the places you want to visit. Confirm port locations, local transport and entry requirements before arranging independent excursions.

A considered choice

Planning a luxury Cunard voyage

For a longer journey or a segment of a luxury world cruise, consider how many days you want at sea and which destinations matter most. Compare the full travel plan, including flights, transfers and hotel nights, as well as the cruise itself.

Ask us to compare Britannia accommodation with Princess Grill or Queens Grill options for your selected sailing. Confirm the cabin layout, dining arrangements and current inclusions before deciding; reference photographs may show an earlier configuration.
