Australia Cruises Departing from Southampton in 2027

World Cruises to Australia from Southampton in 2027

Every sailing is a world cruise departing from Southampton in 2027, with voyages ranging from 44 to over 100 nights at sea. These are long-haul, ocean voyages that call at ports across multiple continents on their way to — and sometimes beyond — Australia. Prices start from £6,831 pp* and both Cunard and P&O Cruises have departures available. If you are considering a voyage of this scale, speaking to one of our cruise experts before you book makes a real difference: the fare tier, the cabin grade and the question of one-way versus round-trip all shape the total cost considerably.

Are These Sailings Round Trips or One-Way?

These sailings are a mix of one-way voyages and round trips, so it is important to check the itinerary of any sailing before you book. Some voyages return to Southampton; others end in Sydney, Australia or Hamburg. If you are booked on a one-way voyage ending outside the UK, you will need a flight home — and Cruise1st can arrange that for you, along with any hotels and transfers at either end, all on the same booking.

Which Cruise Lines Sail from Southampton to Australia in 2027?

Cunard leads the 2027 departures with 4 sailings, all aboard Queen Victoria. P&O Cruises offers 1 sailing aboard Arcadia. There is also a Cruise1st Package option, which bundles your cruise with flights, hotels and transfers into a single holiday. Between these two great British cruise lines, you have a genuine choice of style and ship — classic Cunard formality or P&O’s more relaxed British character.

What Is Queen Victoria Like for a World Voyage?

Queen Victoria carries Cunard’s most traditional atmosphere into every long voyage she undertakes. The Royal Court Theatre is the first at sea to feature private boxes, and hosts West End-calibre productions nightly — so even after three weeks at sea, there is something new to see in the evening. The largest ballroom at sea comes into its own on a world cruise, where Cunard’s famous Gala evenings with a live orchestra and white-gloved afternoon tea service become part of the rhythm of the voyage. Dining runs across Britannia, Princess Grill and Queen’s Grill restaurants — a tiered class-dining structure that is the most traditional of its kind afloat.

When it comes to choosing your cabin aboard Queen Victoria, the range runs from compact inside rooms to an extraordinary grand suite. See the Queen Victoria cabins and deck plans for the full layout, or use this summary as a starting point:

• Britannia Deluxe Inside (GB) — 19.2 m²: A midships position on Deck 1 keeps movement to a minimum — a real advantage on a long ocean crossing.
• Britannia Ocean-view (EB) — 18.3 m²: Around 3 m² more living space than the standard ocean-view grades, with a sea view through a fixed window.
• Britannia Club Balcony (A2) — 24 m²: Exclusively on Deck 8, the highest deck position of any Britannia Club Balcony cabin, with shorter routes to the upper decks.
• Queens Grill Grand Suite (Q1) — 122.5 m²: Two separate rooms, a private dining room and a spacious lounge. The largest Queens Grill Suite aboard, considerably more generous than any other suite in the category.

What Is Arcadia Like for a World Cruise?

Arcadia takes a different approach — she is an adults-only ship, which on a voyage of this length means a noticeably quieter, more relaxed atmosphere throughout. The Palladium is a 3-tier theatre at the heart of the ship’s entertainment. Marco Pierre White’s Ocean Grill restaurant offers a dining option beyond the main restaurants, and the onboard hydrotherapy pool is ideal for unwinding after a long day in port.

Cabin grades aboard Arcadia — see the full Arcadia cabins and deck plans for layout detail:

• Inside Cabin (OA) — 19 m²: 2 m² more floor space than the standard inside grades — a noticeably roomier cabin for the same price point.
• Sea View Cabin (LB) — 17 m²: Natural daylight and an unobstructed sea view through a window — a meaningful step up from an inside cabin on a voyage of this length.
• Deluxe Balcony Cabin (EA) — 24 m²: Your own private balcony for fresh sea air and breakfast without sharing the public decks.
• Suite (B1) — 56 m²: Dedicated butler service is included — personalised attention throughout the voyage that no other cabin category receives.

What Do Cunard Fares Include?

Cunard offers several fare tiers on these sailings. The main Cunard Fare gives you choice of stateroom number, priority for upgrades, a low 15% deposit, flexible balance payment, the ability to amend your booking up to the balance due date, and complimentary shuttle buses at ports. Depending on which fare type you select, you can add perks such as drinks packages, onboard credit, coach travel to Southampton or car parking at the port. A Saver fare is also available — paying in full at the time of booking in exchange for a pre-allocated stateroom and the lowest possible price. Our experts can walk you through which fare suits your travel style and budget.

How Much Do These Sailings Cost?

Prices start from £6,831 pp* for a 2027 world cruise departure from Southampton. Most sailings carry a modest reduction from their previous listed price — up to 6% on one departure, with the typical saving closer to 1%. These are reductions from the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing. For a voyage of this scale, the cabin grade and fare tier you choose will make a more significant difference to the total than any short-term discount, and that is exactly where our cruise experts add the most value.

Can We Book Everything Together?

Yes. At Cruise1st we can build flights, hotels, tours, transfers, train travel and insurance around your cruise — as a Cruise1st Package or as a fully custom holiday. If your voyage ends in Sydney or Hamburg rather than back in Southampton, we will sort the flight home and any accommodation you need, so there are no loose ends. Every element goes on the same booking, and our team is on hand before and after you depart.
