Cunard Cancels Sailing on Embarkation Day
Canceled on embarkation day. A technical issue has caused Cunard to cancel multiple sailings on Queen Mary 2.
In a letter dated April 23rd, Cunard explained that the ship had arrived in Southampton the previous evening to assess a technical issue. The letter went on to say that the work would take longer than anticipated to resolve and the ship would be unable to sail until it was completed.
While there is no indication of when Queen Mary 2 will sail again, guests aboard the scheduled April 30, 2023 transatlantic already have been informed that their voyage has been canceled. Impacted guests will receive a full refund as well as a 20 percent future cruise credit.
