Cunard announces new itineraries on Queen Elizabeth for 2022

SOUTHAMPTON, England, Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cunard has announced that
a series of new itineraries sailing on Queen Elizabeth between February and
May 2022 will go on sale in November.  All sailings will depart 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 will replace the existing published schedule.   Cunard
continues to work very closely with authorities in all the destinations
visited to ensure compliance with local health and entry requirements. 
Unfortunately, based on the most recent advice for cruise guests, and given
the complexities of many of the international destinations involved, it will
not be viable to maintain Queen Elizabeth's existing schedule and all
departures from 20 February to 17 May 2022 inclusive are now cancelled.  

Cunard President Simon Palethorpe says, "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.

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."

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.
