CUNARD has joined other Carnival brands in temporarily suspending cruise operations, until 11 Apr.
Current Cunard ships sailing, such as Queen Mary 2 (pictured) and Queen Victoria, will complete their cruises, but no new guests or crew will join.
All guests impacted directly by this temporary suspension are being contacted regarding their voyage and options available to them.
The cruise line on Fri updated its cancellation policy to allow all guests sailing before 31 Aug to cancel up to 48 hours prior to departure (CW 13 Mar).
“These truly are unprecedented times, the likes of which we have certainly never seen before,” President Simon Palethorpe alerted.
“We are really sorry for the disruption and disappointment that this extraordinary measure will cause.
“We hope everyone will understand that we have to take these measures in the interests of protecting the wellbeing of our guests and crew.”
Cunard recently announced a planned extended season in Australia and New Zealand for Queen Elizabeth, which would see the ship make 29 more port visits across 60 more days in local waters (CW 20 Feb).
The extended season planned a ship-first 27-night circumnavigation of Australia, which will now not go ahead.
