Overview

Savour delicious food and exquisite wines when you set sail on Cunard’s third annual Great Australian Culinary Voyage in February 2025. From masterfully crafted cuisine to spectacular coastal views, enjoy a feast for all senses on this very special voyage. Following the incredible success of our previous Great Australian Culinary Voyage, in 2025 restaurateur, chef, TV host, and author Matt Moran will return to headline this exquisite showcase of all things food and wine.

Spend five nights on board Queen Elizabeth, sailing roundtrip from Sydney, before visiting Hobart and cruising around...read more the breath-taking Great Oyster Bay. As you head past the stunning scenery, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from chefs, producers, and food critics as they expound on the wonders of Australian cuisine. While on board, you can take the chance to learn more about Hobart’s food scene during one of our tailored Shore Experiences*. Tantalise your tastebuds with exquisite creations from land and sea. Swirl and sip iconic wines that capture the essence of Australia’s famed vineyards.

With over 30 years in the food industry, a plethora of awards, prime-time TV show appearances, best-selling cookbooks, and a tour de force behind some of Australia’s most celebrated dining establishments, including two-hatted Aria, Chiswick, North Bondi Fish and Opera Bar; it’s safe to say that Matt Moran is an Australian food icon.

Matt is a pioneer in Australia of the ‘paddock to plate’ philosophy, connecting consumers to the source of their food with his award-winning contemporary menus showcasing fresh, seasonal produce. For a truly special epicurean treat, Matt Moran will take over The Verandah* restaurant, creating an exclusive menu for guests, as well as curating a three‑course dinner for the Britannia Restaurant.

This was our first cruise...   1 , NSW, Australia, Feb 2024
This was our first cruise and we couldn't have had a more wonderful holiday. The Queen Elizabeth was the height of elegance and the meals and entertainment first class.

Queen Elizabeth turned south instead of north! 0 , ACT, Australia, Jan 2024
Despite a change of itinerary due the cyclone in Queensland we had a wonderful time on the Queen Elizabeth. We could not fault the ship - the staff, food, cleanliness were absolutely first rate. Gorgeous art deco fittings. Plenty to do - interesting lectures, art talks, entertainment. Never seemed over crowded. Sadly it was quite cold in the Bass ...read more Strait and we had visited Eden, Melbourne and Adelaide before. Port Lincoln was new to us and a pretty little port. But one cannot help the weather situation and the cruise was a fabulous experience. Global Journeys and Georgina cannot be faulted. Everything went smoothly - no hitches, no problems. Georgina answered all queries so promptly and efficiently. Hope to have the occasion to contact her and Global Journeys again!

Pre Xmas Cruising Cunard   3 , SA, Australia, Dec 2023
We love a chance to cruise on the Queen Elizabeth. The service by all crew from housekeeping to fine dining in the Britannia Restaurant. The opulent decor throughout is very charming and great to enjoy during the cruise. A short but very relaxing and pleasant cruising 🛳
Queen Elizabeth March 23 10 , WA, Australia, Mar 2023
The ship and its crew were both very good. The ship has high standard of cleanliness. The cabins were a good size. The crew friendly going out of their way to assist passengers. The entertainment was mainly just ok. Disappointed with gala nights with not much for the non-ballroom dancing passengers.

The cost of and limited wifi was the main cause ...read more of discontent among most of the passengers and needs to be addressed. The last 2 days were spoilt by services such as laundry being unavailable, the pool being closed and several drinks not being available. Having to leave the ship at 7am on the last day meant the final day was lost.
