VALENCIA, Calif., June 2, 2025 /CNW/ -- Cunard has unveiled its latest program of extraordinary voyages with 195 new itineraries across its iconic fleet, visiting 115 destinations in 32 countries between April 2027 and January 2028.
The new itineraries include 93 UNESCO World Heritage sites. With 18 overnight port calls and 33 late-evening departures, the new program offers guests even more opportunities to explore the world.
Among the highlights are four maiden calls for Queen Anne, including Sorrento in Italy and La Rochelle in France, as well as a maiden call for Cunard when Queen Mary 2 sails to Charlottetown in Canada. Queen Victoria will also enjoy a first visit to Riga, Latvia, with Queen Elizabeth enjoying maiden calls to Trieste in Italy and Calvi in France.
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: "This new program is all about giving our guests more choice and more unforgettable voyages. Whether it's Queen Anne visiting new destinations, Queen Elizabeth returning to favourite ports in the Med, or Queen Mary 2 sailing iconic routes with her usual style, there's something to suit every kind of traveler. From exploring remarkable places to enjoying exceptional experiences on board, we're proud to offer voyages that feel truly special from start to finish."
Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth makes an exciting return to Europe in 2027, with Mediterranean voyages from May until October, visiting 22 ports she hasn't visited for 15 years.
The 65 new voyages boast itineraries varying from seven to 28 nights, taking in visits to many enchanting ancient cities on the continent, from the stunning foodie scene of Palermo in Sicily to the cultural richness of Istanbul.
Queen Mary 2
Fresh from a major refit in early 2027, Queen Mary 2 will continue to offer iconic Transatlantic Crossings, as well as immersive itineraries to Norway, Canada, New England, North Cape, and the Caribbean – where guests can spend Christmas and New Year on picturesque golden beaches. She will also spend Independence Day on July 4, 2027, in Boston.
Queen Anne
As the newest addition to the Cunard fleet, Queen Anne will offer a rich variety of exciting round-trip voyages from Southampton, from sun-drenched Mediterranean getaways to Nordic adventures in search of the Northern Lights.
Highlights include extended time in Barcelona and Copenhagen, as well as a late-evening New Year's Eve call in Maderia to witness the famous fireworks.
Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria will return to the UK to operate round-trip Southampton voyages, including discovery itineraries such as Scandinavia, Iceland, and the Mediterranean. Queen Victoria will also visit Grundarfjordur, Iceland, in 2027 – the first time a Cunard ship has called since 2009.
There is no shortage of extraordinary moments to be made on these 25 Queen Victoria voyages, whether you dream of soaking up the sun in the Mediterranean or an adventure-filled trip with stunning landscapes waiting to be explored.
For many guests, sailing on just one Queen isn't enough, but with Cunard's Queen-to-Queen voyages, travelers can book onto multiple voyages and experience two, or even three, of the line's iconic ships in one holiday.

Media Advisory - Simultaneous launch of Canadian space technologies Français

LONGUEUIL, QC, June 21, 2025 /CNW/ - Several technologies funded by the Canadian Space Agency under the Space Technology Development Program will be launched into space by SpaceX. These projects are a testament to Canada's leadership in space innovation. EarthDaily Analytics will use high-precision thermal imagers to monitor plant transpiration. The data collected could help farmers make decisions about irrigation, fertilization and crop rotation. It could also provide precise information about areas at greatest risk of wildfires, in order to protect our communities. INO provided infrared cameras as part of this project. Galaxia will launch its first satellite, MÖBIUS-1, a software-defined satellite designed to carry various types of Earth observation sensors. The MÖBIUS constellation could be used for a variety of applications, such as defence, environmental monitoring, agriculture, infrastructure, maritime operations and transportation. GHGSat will add two satellites to its commercial constellation, bringing the company's total to 13 methane detection satellites and one CO 2 detection satellite. Mission Control will test its onboard artificial intelligence (AI) software and machine learning operations system SpacefarerAI™ in partnership with Spire Global. Their Persistence mission aims to show how AI can analyze satellite images directly in space, thereby eliminating the need to send all data to Earth for processing. Xona Space Systems will test Pulsar, a demonstration satellite designed to validate a new generation of satellite navigation from low Earth orbit. This technology could improve precision and reliability of positioning services, including in urban areas, remote areas and the Arctic. Also contributing to the GHGSat and EarthDaily Analytics satellites are ABB 's business unit in Quebec, supplying sophisticated optical sensors, and Xiphos Systems, providing high-performance onboard processors. These innovations demonstrate the ability of Canadian companies to develop innovative technologies that meet the needs of the space program and have strong commercial potential. Media who wish to speak with a Canadian Space Agency expert or a representative from one of these Canadian companies are asked to contact the Media Relations Office.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on National Indigenous Peoples Day Français

OTTAWA, ON, /CNW/ - "In my first months as Prime Minister, I have been grateful for the opportunity to meet with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, and I recognize there is much more work to do together. "The government will work in full partnership with Indigenous Peoples – advancing shared priorities such as health care, food security, housing, education, economic prosperity, conservation, climate action, and emergency management to build a better future. Indigenous partnership is a critical component of the One Canadian Economy Act, and shared leadership with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis will be pivotal to the success of building major projects in Canada. "We will move forward together on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls' Calls for Justice, and the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. "Supporting Indigenous communities, advancing self-determination, implementing treaties, and creating generational wealth and prosperity are central to our commitment to advancing reconciliation. Through initiatives like the Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program, we're addressing the historical, systemic, and economic barriers that have prevented Indigenous Peoples from participating in – and benefitting from – economic opportunities, particularly in the natural resource sector. "Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, and every day, we honour the enduring histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, and we reaffirm our partnership in reconciliation. Together, we can build a better future, a stronger economy, and a legacy that future generations can inherit and carry forward."

Statement by Minister Valdez to mark National Indigenous Peoples Day Français

OTTAWA, ON, /CNW/ - The Honourable Rechie Valdez, Minister of Women and Gender Equality and Secretary of State (Small Business and Tourism), made the following statement: "Today, I join communities across the country in celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day. "This is a time to honour the rich histories, vibrant cultures and enduring contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. From coast to coast to coast, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and leadership of Indigenous communities. "Today, more than 50,000 small businesses are majority-owned by Indigenous entrepreneurs. Indigenous-led businesses are fuelling economic growth and uplifting communities across the country. "In 2023 alone, Indigenous tourism operators generated an estimated 34,700 jobs and billions of dollars in economic activity. These numbers tell a powerful story of resilience and innovation and highlight the vital role Indigenous businesses play in our tourism economy. "As Minister of Women and Gender Equality, I am committed to supporting Indigenous-led efforts to end gender-based violence. Through the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence and the Federal Pathway to Address Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ Peoples, our government is working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities to develop policies and fund programs to end the national crisis facing Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. This work is essential to healing, justice and safety for Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, wherever they live. "Our government is deeply committed to advancing reconciliation and to building lasting partnerships with Indigenous Peoples by supporting entrepreneurs, fostering economic opportunity and building an inclusive economy that leaves no one behind.
