Cunard has announced that Queen Mary 2 will return to sailing from November 28, 2021, with two new voyages—a three-night cruise break and a 12-night Canary Islands itinerary—both departing from Southampton.
These voyages replace those previously published, which were a “Transatlantic Crossing” departing on November 14, followed by a sailing to Caribbean, a return “Transatlantic Crossing” to Southampton and a five-night cruise break departing December 10, 2021.
Cunard president Simon Palethorpe said in an announcement, “Having been out of service for over 18 months, we would like the initial few voyages for Queen Mary 2 to be closer to home. Therefore, we have introduced two new voyages that will depart from Southampton to replace the original schedule.
“We are so sorry though for the disappointment caused to those guests affected by the changes to these voyages and do hope we will see them on board later in the year.”
Additionally, Queen Mary 2’s first call back into New York will be two days earlier than originally scheduled. This is to allow for all ship inspections in compliance with the latest regulatory requirements. It will now depart on December 13, 2021 prior to arrival in New York on December 20, before sailing to the Caribbean as scheduled on 22 December, 2021.
All guests whose cruises have been canceled will automatically receive a Future Cruise Credit worth 125 percent of the standard deposit terms, and 100 percent of any additional monies paid. Alternatively, 100 percent refund is available. The new itineraries will go on sale in the coming weeks.
