"Cunard's 180-year history has played a central role in creating the concept of luxury cruising today," said Josh Leibowitz, SVP Cunard North America. "The brand spearheaded many industry firsts and has a continued commitment to its role as an innovator of engaging, meaningful and insightful ocean travel."

Cunard will launch a yet-to-be-named fourth ship to its fleet in 2022. That same year will mark the 100^th Anniversary of the World Voyage, which Cunard launched in 1922 when The American Express Company chartered Cunard's Laconia to sail the first continuous circumnavigation of the globe by a passenger liner. Laconia sailed a 130-day voyage, calling at 22 ports. To commemorate the completion of this historic voyage the 'Laconia Cup' was presented to the Captain by American Express; and today the Cup resides on Queen Victoria as the Cunard fleet continues the tradition of world cruising.
