Seabourn—one of the leading names in the world of ultra-luxury cruising and expedition travel—has this month announced the sale of a second O-Class ship to Mitsui Ocean Cruises, following the sale of Seabourn Odyssey in 2023.

In October 2025, Cunard's Queen Elizabeth will begin her inaugural Miami-Caribbean season - the first time a Cunard ship has spent a complete season in Miami - and she has received a luxurious new makeover to mark the occasion.

I was invited to Liverpool for Cunard's Queen Anne naming ceremony.

There was a buzz in the air as the good and the great of Britain's cruise industry mixed and mingled on board Cunard's brand-new Queen Anne during an overnight showcase event on 1st May.

Excitement is building for what promises to be the most spectacular ship's christening in many years. The venue is not Miami, New York, nor even Southampton, but Liverpool - Britain's historic maritime gateway between the Old World and the New.

In mid-October I was fortunate enough to be invited to sail on Cunard’s iconic Queen Elizabeth.
