Tenerife reveals its hidden charms when you leave the main roads behind. Our day began aboard a rugged 4x4, ready to explore an island of contrasts golden and volcanic beaches, misty mountain viewpoints, and centuries-old villages steeped in history.

Our first destination on our 110-day Cunard world cruise on Queen Anne began after departing Southampton and rocking and rolling through the ever-predictable Bay of Biscay. At last, we arrived in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.

The world cruise has officially begun, with embarkation from Cunard’s historic home port of Southampton. A journey of 110 days awaits aboard the elegant Queen Anne, carrying us across Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, before returning to Southampton at the end of April.
