Queen Mary 2 will explore the UNESCO World Heritage site of Santiago de Compostela on a tour from El Ferrol to an overnight call in Mindelo on Sao Vincente, a Cape Verde island. The vessel will also offer uninterrupted journeys on her Transatlantic Crossing sailings.

Queen Victoria will set sail on a 109-night World Voyage in January 2027, with visits to Hong Kong, Sydney and Cape Town, as well as making her debut in the ports of Dakar and Durban.
