Cunard Queen Anne Makes Its Historic First Arrival in Los Angeles

Cunard’s Queen Anne recently made a memorable stop in Los Angeles during its massive 2025-26 world cruise. Here’s what you need to know about this visit and other exciting cruise news from the Port of Los Angeles.

Queen Anne Arrives at the LA Waterfront

The Queen Anne docked at the LA Waterfront on April 4, 2026. The Cunard ship stayed overnight as part of its epic journey around the world. This was the ship’s very first visit to the Port of Los Angeles.

The Queen Anne carries up to 3,000 guests. It left Southampton, England, in early January 2026 on a 110-night world cruise. That’s nearly four months at sea!

An Incredible Global Itinerary

Before reaching California, the Queen Anne visited ports across the globe. The ship sailed through Northern Europe, the Canary Islands, Africa, the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the South Pacific. That’s a lot of passport stamps!

Some of the highlights included overnight stops in amazing cities. Cape Town, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Sydney were all on the itinerary. Overnight visits give passengers a real chance to explore each destination.

What’s Next for Queen Anne

After leaving Los Angeles, the ship headed south to transit the Panama Canal. It also planned stops in Central America, the Caribbean, and Florida before heading back to Southampton in late April.

More Cunard Ships Coming to LA

Queen Anne won’t be the only Cunard ship visiting Los Angeles. The Queen Elizabeth is set to arrive at the World Cruise Center in September 2026 during a repositioning voyage. Then, in February 2027, the Queen Victoria is scheduled for an overnight visit to the city.

This means LA cruise fans will have several chances to see these iconic British ocean liners up close.

The Port of Los Angeles has been busy welcoming new ships. The Brilliant Lady from Virgin Voyages recently made its debut at the San Pedro Cruise Terminal. This 110,000-ton ship entered service in late 2025 and became the first Virgin Voyages ship ever to visit the port.

The Brilliant Lady is homeporting in LA this spring. It’s offering five- to seven-night cruises to Baja California and the Mexican Riviera. These shorter sailings are a great option for West Coast cruisers.
