Domestic UK cruises this summer with Cunard

A series of UK voyages on Queen Elizabeth is set to be announced by Cunard after the line confirmed further cancellations of international sailings.

Departing from Cunard’s home port of Southampton, the ‘staycation’ sailings will operate in UK coastal waters.

Domestic cruising has been allowed to resume on the same date as UK hospitality and leisure sector which will not be before 17th May 2021 at the earliest.

Simon Palethorpe, Cunard president said: “With the UK Government confirming that domestic travel is close on the horizon, we are introducing a series of exciting, shorter duration holidays for Brits looking for the perfect staycation in Cunard luxury this summer.

“These will be sailings from Southampton, for UK residents, around the UK and will make the very most of the summer sunshine.

“However, with international travel restrictions still in place, we unfortunately need to cancel a number of departures. We know how much everyone is desperately looking forward to longed-for holidays overseas, so to all affected by this news, I am sincerely sorry for the disappointment this will cause.”
