About This Trip
We're the Navazio family, and on September 17, 2026, the five of us board Cunard's Queen Elizabeth in Seattle for forty days at sea. We sail up through Alaska, back down the West Coast, along Mexico, through the Panama Canal, across the Caribbean, and into Miami on October 27. We built this site so grandparents, cousins, and friends can follow along without needing a Cunard login or a group text that eventually goes silent somewhere around Day 12.
We picked this particular route because it's the one crossing that ties together everywhere we've always wanted to see in one trip: glaciers, a transit through a canal we've only read about, and enough beach days in between to make up for the sea days. This page covers who's aboard, the basic facts of the sailing, and how to keep up with us while we're out there.
The Manifest, In Short
Questions We Keep Getting
How do I follow along?
Check the log on the home page for day-by-day entries, or use the Route & Map page to see where we are along the itinerary. Each entry includes the port, a bit of that day's weather and mileage, and a journal paragraph from whoever felt like writing that night.
When do new entries post?
We write in the evenings and post when we get a signal, which is not every day. Sea days sometimes bundle up into one entry once we're back in range of decent internet.
What about time zones and connectivity?
We cross several time zones over the course of the trip, so a post timestamped in the evening for us may show up as early morning for you. Ship's internet is slower and pricier at sea, so photos and updates tend to land in batches rather than in real time.
Can I send a message to the ship?
Yes, use the Send a Note page. We check messages when we're online and read everything, even if a reply takes a few days to reach you back.
