It will make four maiden calls as part of the new itineries, including in Sorrento in Italy and La Rochelle in France.

"From exploring remarkable places to enjoying exceptional experiences on board, we’re proud to offer voyages that feel truly special from start to finish."
Across all ships, Cunard will call at 93 UNESCO World Heritage sites, with 18 overnight stays and 33 late-evening departures to allow guests more time to explore.
