CUNARD Line’s Queen Elizabeth (pictured) is getting ready for her return to sailing in the United Kingdom after a 17-month pause in operations.
The final touches are being made as Cunard prepares to return to sailing on 13 Aug, with the first in a series of British voyages, after which the cruise line’s international sailings on board will begin in Oct.
First up will be a cruise from Southampton to Amsterdam, followed by a 14-night voyage to the Canary Islands and Madeira in Nov.
Cunard Commercial Director Australia & New Zealand Katrina McAlpine said watching Cunard sail again in the United Kingdom gives Australians something to look foward to.
“While the pathway for domestic cruising here in Australia remains uncertain, we are very fortunate to be part of a strong global organisation that continues to support us as we work towards a restart,” she said.
“So many of our suppliers are not in such a fortunate position and need cruising to help their businesses to get to the other side of the pandemic.”
Cunard President Simon Palethorpe also expressed the cruise line’s delight at welcoming guests back on board.
