Thanks to our incredible teams onboard and everyone supporting shoreside, Carnival UK have six ships sailing, each creating unforgettable holiday happiness for thousands of guests.
Today however, Cunard have announced that Queen Victoria who is currently located in Barbados, ahead of her scheduled return to sailing, will be staying in the Caribbean for longer than planned before her dry-dock. She will now return to full service on 5 June 2022 with her existing itineraries from then on. As a result, all scheduled voyages departing from 22 April, up to and including 24 May 2022 are unfortunately cancelled.
“My ongoing thanks go to the crew on board all of the Carnival UK fleet and all those shoreside for the incredible job you’re doing to support our guests.
To all those affected, we’re sorry for the disappointment cancelling some of Queen Victoria’s sailings and her slightly later return to service will cause. When she welcomes guests on board, following her dry-dock, it will mark a momentous day for the brand as Cunard’s full fleet will be back in service.”
Sture Myrmell, Carnival UK President
