Cunard has announced that a series of new itineraries for the Queen Elizabeth will go on sale in November. These sailings are from February 2022 to May 2022. All sailings depart from Southampton and will include journeys to the Canary Islands, the Western Mediterranean and something Cunard calls “voyage in search of the Northern Lights”. The final voyage will be a transatlantic voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, through the Panama Canal and on to Vancouver, Canada.
The new itineraries will replace the existing ones. Based on the most recent advice for cruise guests, and given the complexities of many of the international destinations involved, Cunard will not be able to maintain Queen Elizabeth’s existing schedule and all departures from February 20 to May 17 2022 are now cancelled.
Cunard President Simon Palethorpe says, “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.
