Cunard Line plans to transfer its Queen Anne to P&O Cruises in 2029 after completing its 2028/29 World Voyage. Concurrently, P&O Cruises' Arcadia will transfer to Holland America Line in August 2029. Both vessels are scheduled for extensive refurbishments before sailing under their new brands.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The transfers are part of a wider fleet reshuffle managed by Carnival Corporation. The addition of Arcadia will expand Holland America Line's fleet from 11 to 12 ships. This move allows Cunard Line to unify its fleet around Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth.
