Norwegian Fjords and Northern Lights 12 Nights Cunard Queen Anne 2026

Home Pick-Up & Boarding

Your holiday begins! Whether you’ve made use of the complimentary parking or the complementary Limitless accessible taxi transfer, our team will be there to help you check in your bags and board the ship. Those guests staying in an accessible cabin will also benefit from Priority Embarkation. We know check-in and boarding can be a nervous experience for some travellers, so Limitless assists with every aspect. You can learn about our check in and boarding support in greater detail in our FAQs.

Once aboard the cruise ship, you’ll have a chance to settle into your cabin, explore the ship, and meet your fellow Limitless Travellers. The Limitless Care Team is always available to provide support and ensure your holiday gets off to the best possible start.

Exploring the Queen Anne

Your first day at sea is all about exploring the ship and settling in. Typically, the Limitless Team meets with everyone in the morning to catch up over breakfast, make sure you had a comfortable night, discuss the day ahead, and plan activities. We often lunch and dine as a group as well, so you’re never short of company.

During days at sea, there’s plenty to see and do on the Queen Anne. As a group, Limitless Travellers often enjoy a relaxed morning, followed by a group lunch and some afternoon fun - be it a theatre show or a musical performance. Then it’s time to get dressed up for a delicious dinner, followed by some fantastic evening entertainment. Of course, how you spend your day is entirely up to you! But it’s good to know that the Limitless Team and your fellow travellers are always around too.

Onboard Entertainment

When it comes to entertainment, the Queen Anne has it all. From live music to theatre shows and cabaret, you’ll enjoy an ever-changing lineup of performers to thrill and captivate you. The Brights Light Society is an exciting collaboration with RWS Global and puts on a range of interactive shows, including interactive cinematic productions and variety performances. The Queens Room is renowned for its Cunard Signature Afternoon Tea and live music in the evening.

However, the two most prestigious venues aboard the Queen Anne are arguably the Royal Court Theatre and the Pavilion. While the former brings West End productions and fascinating Cunard Insights talks to the high seas, the latter features a retractable glass dome roof and shows alfresco movies in partnership with the BFI.

Port Visit

Famous for its unique architecture, Ålesund is the cultural centre of the Sunnmøre region and a relaxed and atmospheric town. Having burned down in 1904, the entire town was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style, making it one of the most distinctive port stops on your holiday. The approach to the port includes a scenic journey through the Geirangerfjord, and the town centre is just 10 minutes from the dock. We often take a short walk around the prettiest areas before stopping for lunch and a spot of shopping.

Both the Art Nouveau Centre and the open-air Sunnmøre Museum are also accessible.
The local wheelchair-friendly Hop-On, Hop-Off bus also tours several local attractions. However, spaces are limited and Limitless Travellers will need to book their place independently and in advance.

Restaurants & Bars

With 31 restaurants, bars and lounges, you’re spoiled for choice aboard the Queen Anne. Finished in a range of styles to ensure there’s something for every kind of taste, the ship’s lounges include the nautically-themed Chart Room, the refined Carinthia Lounge, and a traditional British Pub, among others.

When it comes to mealtimes, you have a world of choice on the Queen Anne. While Cunard’s famous White Star Service is available at the Britannia restaurant, you can also choose from an array of other options, including the Mediterranean-inspired Tramonto, the Japanese flavours of Aji Wa, and India’s diverse and delicious cuisine in Aranya. With so much to choose from, you’re in for a treat! 

Port Visit

Though it’s a fair way north of the Arctic Circle, Tromsø boasts a remarkably mild climate for its latitude. While ice-free waters and westerly winds mean this vibrant city (it has the most bars per capita in all of Norway) may be a little warmer than usual, there’s still plenty of snow!

Tromsø is also home to several excellent accessible attractions, including the local Troll Museum. Trolls play a crucial role in Norwegian folklore and legend and this brilliant museum explains why while also introducing visitors to many of its most famous troll-related tales. Alternatively, the Polar Museum details the expeditions, adventures and everyday lives of Arctic explorers from the 17th century to the modern day.

Tromsø also offers the ideal conditions for seeing the northern lights. As the ship is pending the night in port, we'll be hoping for clear skies and a chance to see this incredible natural light show.

Port Visit

With a second day to explore Tromsø before the ship resumes its exploration of the mighty Norwegian fjords, it’s up to you whether you head ashore or take it easy and make the most of the onboard entertainment and leisure facilities.

If you do head into Tromsø, the Polaria Arctic Experience Centre boasts a fantastic arctic aquarium. Designed to help visitors learn about how animals, fish, plants, and people live side-by-side in the Arctic, it’s also home to bearded seals and other unique wildlife. If you just want to get a feel for the town and enjoy the local cafes, bars and restaurants, the Storgatta central shopping street is where you’ll find all the action. Finally, excursions to the Tromsø cable car are also possible, though the gondolas aren’t accessible for all travellers.

Port Visit

Situated at the head of the gorgeous Ototfjord, Narvik is surrounded by majestic mountains, deep blue fjords and pristine arctic countryside. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, it is a historically important ice-free port and was also the site of a well-known World War II naval battle.

Today, one of the town’s main attractions is the wheelchair-accessible Narvikfjellet cable car, which ascends around 660 metres to the top of the local ski resort and the Fjellkaféen 656 mountain restaurant. Here, you can grab a bite to eat or a warming drink and enjoy the unparalleled views of the fjords below. Alternatively, the Museum Nord offers a fascinating insight into the town's history.

Like Tromsø, Narvik is well situated for the Northern Lights, so staying overnight in the port means you've got another good shot at ticking the aurora borealis off your bucket list.

Port Visit

Having anchored in Narvik overnight, you have a second morning to enjoy this relaxed Norwegian town. As always, you can choose to head ashore or stay aboard the ship and enjoy the world-class amenities. Whether that means indulging in a lavish breakfast while admiring the fjord’s remarkable natural beauty or pampering yourself in the ship’s spa is entirely up to you.

If you do head ashore, the Narvik War Museum houses excellent exhibits detailing the pivotal role the town played in WWII and the fearsome naval and mountain battles that unfolded over 62 remarkable days in 1940. It’s certainly a great stop for history aficionados. Of course, you could also opt to cosy up in a traditional café with a hot beverage and enjoy the spectacular mountainous backdrop.

Pools & Spa

If you’re looking to cool off when the Queen Anne reaches warmer weather, Cunard has you covered. The ship is equipped with two traditional swimming pools, one of which is fitted with a hoist. The pools are located in the Panorama Pool Club, an outdoor area with a bar, loungers, and live music and DJs, and the Pavilion Venue, a spectacular venue with a retractable glass dome roof. 

The Mareel Wellness and Beauty facilities are the perfect spot for a bit of pampering too. Featuring a cold room, a Himalayan salt sauna, and a thermal pool, it’s a fantastic place to unwind and relax. A variety of wellness treatments, including skincare, cupping and massages. If you’re looking to enjoy the onboard facilities, we recommend talking to your Tour Manager to ensure accessibility.

Port Visit

Land ahoy! Once a Viking stronghold, Stavanger is famed for the beautiful wooden homes that line the streets of the historic city centre. The port is a flat, 10-minute walk from the city centre and there are plenty of local restaurants and bars close by, making it a great opportunity to sample deliciously authentic Norwegian cuisine.

The city market is the place to pick up mementoes, while the imposing Stavanger Cathedral is Norway’s oldest, and the picturesque Blue Promenade is fantastic for a post-lunch stroll or roll. The wheelchair-accessible Hop-On, Hop-Off bus tours several of Stavanger’s main attractions but there are limited spaces and Limitless Travellers will need to book independently to guarantee a place.

Sailing Home

By now, you will have spent a few days exploring the Queen Anne and enjoying the facilities, activities and entertainment. But we guarantee there are still things you’re yet to see, do or find. Have you visited the onboard library? Tasted the tempura at the Japanese-inspired Aji Wa restaurant? Expanded your horizons at one of the Queen Anne’s award-winning Cunard Insights talks?

As we make our way back to Southampton, this is a great opportunity to check out those parts of the Queen Anne you’re yet to see or return to your favourite spots. Or just relax in total comfort and reminisce about the places you’ve seen over the course of your holiday. Have a chat with your Tour Manager in the morning and organise the perfect final day.

Disembark & Home Drop-Off

Following your final breakfast aboard the ship, the Limitless team will assist with check-out. The ship’s crew will take down your bags, and we’ll help you disembark, make sure you reach your pick-up, and say our farewells. Your transfer will then get you home, dropping you off at your front door.

We can’t wait to see you on your next Limitless holiday!
