In light of the continued and evolving restrictions for the UK, coupled with the current challenges of flights to the region, we have taken the decision to cancel the remainder of Azura and Britannia’s spring 2021 Caribbean season, as well as two cruises in Arcadia and Aurora’s spring season. For a full list of the affected cruises please click here.
While it’s disappointing that we’re not able to take Britannia and Azura to this stunning region in early 2021, we very much hope to be back in the autumn/winter 2021/22. Our wonderful home port of Barbados and the wider islands of the Caribbean are a real favourite with our Guests who love the culture and colour in the region and the vibrancy of each of the different islands. But, as you know, our highest responsibilities and our top priorities are to operate safely, to protect the environment, and to be in compliance everywhere we operate in the world.
We’re sorry for any disappointment these cancellations will cause for those booked on concession cruises. You should receive a refund within the next few weeks via the same method that you originally paid with. If you have any questions about your booking please contact employeediscountedtravel@carnivalukgroup.com.
Looking ahead
As Paul Ludlow said in his latest update: “Many people across many departments are working on so much – new protocols to protect the health and wellbeing of our Guests and crew; new technology systems; refunding our Guests and putting in place their FCCs (Future Cruise Credit); new itineraries, operational readiness; crew movements and so much more – and every single one of us is looking ahead to better times.
I know first-hand that it feels some days as if we are taking two steps forwards and one step backwards, but let’s all look at the bigger picture and remember, the general and continued direction of travel is, most certainly, forwards.”
We know our Guests and crew can’t wait to be back towards the end of 2021, and we look forward to welcoming them again when the time is right to do so.
