Cunard Line's 2010/11 full program for cruises onboard Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and the new Queen Elizabeth is now on sale.

Australian travellers can still obtain staterooms on the maiden season of the Queen Elizabeth, while Queen Mary 2 is offering six new "Trans-Canada" cruises.

Cunard has also revealed that Queen Victoria will sail an inaugural 10-night voyage around the British Isles in July 2010, visiting new ports including Cobh, Dublin, Liverpool, Belfast and Greenock.

The liner will also offer eight new Mediterranean voyages, including a sevennight cruise calling on ports in Spain, Portugal and France, priced from $1749 per person twin share, departing April 22, 2010.

QM2 will operate more Transatlantic crossings than ever before, with 25 voyages sailing between New York and Southampton, including for the first time 10 longer sevennight voyages, priced from $1859 per person twin share.

Her traditional six-night Transatlantic crossings are selling from $1719 per person twin-share, departing Southampton on November 10, 2010.

QM2's biggest European season from Southampton is also now on sale, with six voyages between two and 14 nights.

On her debut season, Queen Elizabeth will visit 25 European ports.

Although the maiden cruise sold out in a record 29 minutes earlier this month, staterooms are available on the other voyages including a five-night cruise visiting France, Belgium and the Netherlands departing Southampton on November 26, 2010, priced from $1459 pp twin share.

Jenny Lourey, senior vice president of Carnival Australia, which represents Cunard, said the program offered Australians a wide choice of destinations that harked back to the golden era of cruising.
