A series of new Queen Elizabeth itineraries setting sail between February and May 2022 will go on sale in November, Cunard announced today.
All departures will be 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 replace the existing schedule in Japan which has been cancelled following recent advice for cruise guests and due to the complexities of many of the international destinations involved.
Cunard President Simon Palethorpe said: “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.
“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.””
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.
