SOUTHAMPTON, England,
Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cunard
has announced that a series of new itineraries sailing on
Queen Elizabeth between February and
May 2022 will go on sale in
November. All sailings will depart from Southampton and will include a voyage in
search of the Northern Lights, journeys to the Canary Islands and
the Western Mediterranean as well as a grand voyage across the
Atlantic Ocean, through the Panama Canal and on to Vancouver, Canada.
The new itineraries will replace the existing published
schedule. Cunard continues to work very closely with
authorities in all the destinations visited to ensure compliance
with local health and entry requirements. Unfortunately,
based on the most recent advice for cruise guests, and given the
complexities of many of the international destinations involved, it
will not be viable to maintain Queen
Elizabeth's existing schedule and all departures from 20
February to 17 May 2022 inclusive are
now cancelled.
Cunard President Simon Palethorpe
says, "We hope our guests will be inspired to find a little
adventure with these new itineraries. In a single short
programme, they offer fantastic variety from the opportunity to
experience the wondrous Northern Lights, to sun kissed
Mediterranean shores, to a transit of the Panama Canal.
To all guests affected by the cancelled voyages we are sorry for
the disappointment this will cause and we hope to welcome many back
on board when we return to Japan
in 2023."
Guests booked on the affected cancelled voyages will be offered
a full refund or future cruise credit worth 125% of the standard
deposit terms, and 100% of any additional monies paid.
