Step aboard the elegant Queen Anne on 21 December 2025 and let the festive magic carry you away on a 14 night journey of celebration, wonder and discovery. Departing from the historic port of Southampton and returning on 4 January 2026, this special voyage sets the stage for a holiday like no other, where yuletide tradition meets high seas adventure.
As the ship glides out from Southampton, anticipate lavish decorations, twinkling lights and the unmistakable atmosphere of festivities onboard. With every corridor adorned and every dining room aglow, you’ll feel the warmth of the season even as the ocean stretches out before you.
But this isn’t just about the décor, it’s about connection, exploration and celebration. Over the days ahead you’ll visit timeless Spanish ports such as Cádiz, delight in the natural wonders of Funchal on Madeira, bask in the sun-drenched landscapes of the Canary Islands and ring in the New Year in vibrant Lisbon.
Whether you’re poolside with a cocktail, immersed in conversation at afternoon tea, or dancing under the stars on the deck as midnight chimes, this is a voyage crafted to make memories that last a lifetime.

Just a brief stroll along the tangled streets that wind around Lisbon’s hills is enough to appreciate the city’s history. Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, its origins traceable to 1200 BC. Among its rooftops, Gothic towers and decadent domes burst from a sea of red-tiled buildings, while at ground level you’ll see elegant shops, graceful palacios and ancient ruins. Lively marketplaces and bountiful pastelarias feed the city, while Lisbon’s many cool fountains and leafy parks provide shade for locals and visitors. Though the city has evolved much over the centuries, it’s easy to see why it’s endured for so long.
