QUEEN’S TOUR

Cunard’s youngest royal, Queen Elizabeth, will be based in Australia in 2019. The 2000-passenger ship will stay for two months, the longest any of the line’s ships have spent Down Under. She’ll port in Melbourne and Sydney, making seven cruises to New Zealand, South Australia and Tasmania during her stay. The move meets a growing demand for the line’s cruises in Australia; the number of local guests are expected to double in the next three years. cunardline.com.au
