In an age of online booking platforms, price comparison websites and social media travel inspiration, it’s easy to assume travel agents are no longer necessary.

As a travel agent I am acutely aware of the ongoing issues in the Middle East and the distress this may be causing.

I am closely monitoring all bookings that clients have and will provide up-to-date information and updates as they come to hand.

🌌 UNDER NORWAY’S DANCING SKIES – 12‑Night Northern Lights Voyage
🚢 Queen Anne | Roundtrip Southampton
📅 Departs 13 October 2026
✨ From just $2,659pp twin share
💫 Bonus: Up to USD$200 Onboard Credit per stateroom

Imagine twelve unforgettable nights beneath the stars as you journey toward one of nature’s greatest spectacles—the Northern Lights. Set sail aboard the stunning Queen Anne, Cunard’s newest Queen, and discover the magic, mystery and mesmerising beauty of Norway in autumn. ❄️🌠🇳🇴

Departing roundtrip from Southampton, this voyage blends natural wonder, cultural exploration and timeless luxury. Glide through Norway’s dramatic fjords, explore charming coastal cities and venture deep into the Arctic Circle—where clear, crisp nights set the perfect stage for the aurora borealis to dance across the sky.

Your journey begins with the Art Nouveau beauty of Ålesund, before sailing north to Tromsø, the Arctic’s vibrant gateway. A late‑evening stay means incredible chances to witness the Northern Lights shimmering above snow‑capped peaks. Continue to Narvik, where dramatic landscapes and rich World War II history create a powerful backdrop—another late‑night call offering prime aurora viewing opportunities.

After days of exploration, return to the warmth, elegance and refined comforts of Queen Anne. Enjoy world‑class dining, inspiring lectures through the Cunard Insights Program, relaxing lounges, live music, sophisticated theatre and the iconic tradition of Afternoon Tea in the Queens Room. Gala Evenings add a touch of glamour as you sail between ports in classic Cunard style.

Your final call is Stavanger, where colourful harbourfronts and scenic fjord views create the perfect farewell before returning to Southampton.

This voyage is ideal for travellers seeking a rare blend of Arctic adventure, cultural discovery and luxurious relaxation—an unforgettable journey under Norway’s dancing skies.
