Cunard Extends Pause in Operations 
 
MIAMI, June 9, 2020 -- Luxury cruise line Cunard, announced today that, as a 
result of the continued impact of Covid-19, it will be extending the pause in 
operations. 
 
For its ships Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria, Cunard is cancelling all 
sailings that were due to depart up to and including 1 November, 2020 and for 
Queen Elizabeth, departures up to and including the 23 November, 2020. 
 
Cunard President, Simon Palethorpe, said, "With many differing restrictions 
across countries, people's ability to move freely and safely across borders 
remains seemingly someway in the distance. For Cunard, where we celebrate 
having a truly international mix of guests and sail all over the world, this 
becomes particularly impactful. We also need to better understand the 
implications Covid-19 will have on board our ships. We are therefore working, 
at the highest level possible, with government bodies, including the US Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention - the CDC - and Public Health England, as 
well as the industry collective body - CLIA - and other expert medical 
professionals to review every aspect of a holiday with us." 
 
He added: "Whilst we have always taken pride in having the highest levels of 
health and safety, we are looking at enhanced protocols across all aspects of 
ship life and experiences on shore. We will only return to service when we have 
a comprehensive restart protocol with the stamps of approval and accreditation 
from the most trusted and informed sources." 
 
Cunard will be communicating with all guests, and their travel advisors, who 
are booked on affected voyages. 
 
As Cunard has done previously during this pause period, guests who are booked 
on cancelled voyages will automatically be given a 125% Future Cruise Credit. 
This can be redeemed against any new booking made by the end of December 2021 
on any voyage that's on sale at the time of booking.
