Cunard Cruise Line unveiled a "first" for the cruise line on March 8, 2010 by announcing Queen Mary 2's "Royal Circumnavigation of Australia" as part of World Cruise 2012. QM2 will be based in Australia in 2012 for a total of 28 nights and "will call at eight Australian ports during her time Down Under including Sydney, Fremantle, Adelaide and the Whitsundays, as well as maiden visits to Cairns (Yorkey's Knob), Darwin, Melbourne and Brisbane. Her circumnavigation will also include a call at Bali."
While no further information about World Cruise 2012 aboard QM2 has been released, The Royal Circumnavigation of Australia will go on sale this spring as part of the announcement of the 2012 World Cruise program.
