Host Hattie Posted August 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2018 That's been the timing for the last few years, itineraries often appear online before the initial launch date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted August 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) The bulk of Cunard's 2019 schedule was officially released on the morning of September 5, 2017 UK time (the evening of September 4, 2017 US time). But as Host Hattie has mentioned, some of that schedule was leaked early by being posted on several cruise booking web sites. Right on cue, some of the remaining Cunard 2020 schedule has been posted on one of those cruise booking web sites. Here is what I am seeing so far for Cunard's 2020 schedule beyond what has already been announced on Cunard's web site. QM2 Apr 25-May 04: New York, Southampton, Hamburg May 04-May 13: Hamburg, Southampton, New York May 13-May 20: New York, Southampton May 20-May 24: Southampton, Zeebrugge, Saint Peter Port, Southampton May 24-May 31: Southampton, New York May 31-Jun 07: New York, Southampton Jun 07-Jun 14: Southampton, New York Jun 14-Jun 21: New York, Southampton Jun 21-Jun 29: Southampton, Le Havre, New York Jun 29-Jul 06: New York, Halifax, Portland (Maine), Boston, New York Jul 06-Jul 15: New York, Southampton, Hamburg Jul 15-Jul 22: Hamburg, Alesund, Olden, Flaam, Bergen, Hamburg Jul 22-Jul 31: Hamburg, Southampton, New York Jul 31-Aug 14: New York, Halifax, Corner Brook, Reykjavik, Oban, Greenock, Southampton Aug 14-Aug 21: Southampton, New York Aug 21-Aug 28: New York, Southampton Aug 28-Sep 04: Southampton, Stavanger, Flaam, Alesund, Bergen, Southampton Sep 04-Sep 11: Southampton, New York Sep 11-Sep 18: New York, Newport (Rhode Island), Boston, Sydney (Nova Scotia), Quebec City Sep 18-Sep 25: Quebec City, Saguenay, Sept-Iles, Halifax, New York Sep 25-Oct 02: New York, Southampton Oct 02-Oct 09: Southampton, New York Oct 09-Oct 16: New York, Newport (Rhode Island), Boston, Sydney (Nova Scotia), Quebec City Oct 16-Oct 23: Quebec City, Saguenay, Sept-Iles, Halifax, New York Oct 23-Nov 01: New York, Southampton, Hamburg Nov 01-Nov 06: Hamburg, Stavanger, Oslo, Hamburg Nov 06-Nov 28: Hamburg, Southampton Nov 28-Dec 01: Southampton, Zeebrugge, Southampton Dec 01-Dec 08: Southampton, New York Dec 08-Dec 15: New York, Southampton (Note QM2's 22-day "voyage" Hamburg-Southampton for Nov 06-Nov 28. That looks like her 2020 drydock to me) QV Mar 30-Apr 04: Hamburg, Amsterdam, Zeebrugge, Southampton Apr 04-Apr 16: Southampton, Funchal, La Palma Island, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Lisbon, Southampton Apr 16-Apr 26: Southampton, Cadiz, Malaga, Gibraltar, Lisbon, Porto, Southampton Apr 26-May 03: Southampton, Saint Peter Port, Amsterdam, Zeebrugge, Cherbourg, Southampton May 03-May 15: Southampton, Haugesund, Olden, Bodo, Narvik, Trondheim, Andalsnes, Bergen, Southampton May 15-May 31: Southampton, Bornholm, Gdynia, Klaipeda, Saint Petersburg, Riga, Warnemunde, Copenhagen, Goteborg, Southampton May 31-Jun 07: Southampton, Stavanger, Nordfjordeid, Geiranger, Bergen, Southampton Jun 07-Jun 19: Southampton, Ringaskiddy, Dublin, Stornoway, Greenock, Belfast, Liverpool, Saint Peter Port, Southampton Jun 19-Jul 03: Southampton, Lerwick, Akureyri, Isafjordur, Reykjavik, Torshavn, Kirkwall, Southampton Jul 03-Jul 10: Southampton, Stavanger, Flaam, Alesund, Bergen, Southampton Jul 10-Jul 24: Southampton, Bornholm, Tallinn, Saint Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm, Warnemunde, Southampton Jul 24-Aug 07: Southampton, Flamborough, Edinburgh/Newhaven, Reykjavik, Isafjordur, Akureyri, Torshavn, Invergordon, Southampton Aug 07-Aug 19: Southampton, Stavanger, Olden, Lofoten Islands, Bodo, Alesund, Skjolden, Haugesund, Southampton Aug 19-Aug 23: Southampton, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge, Southampton Aug 23-Sep 06: Southampton, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Visby, Tallinn, Saint Petersburg, Kiel, Skagen, Southampton Sep 06-Sep 20: Southampton, Cadiz, Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Rome/Civitavecchia, Ajaccio, Gibraltar, Southampton Sep 20-Oct 09: Southampton, Cadiz, Kotor, Dubrovnik, Split, Venice, Strait of Messina, Propriano, Lisbon, Southampton Oct 09-Oct 21: Southampton, Alesund, Tromso, Narvik, Stavanger, Southampton Oct 21-Nov 04: Southampton, Funchal, La Palma Island, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Cadiz, Lisbon, Southampton Nov 04-Nov 16: Southampton, Alesund, Tromso, Narvik, Stavanger, Southampton Nov 16-Nov 28: Southampton, Lisbon, Cadiz, Valencia, Cartagena, Malaga, Gibraltar, Southampton Nov 28-Dec 10: Southampton, Funchal, La Palma Island, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Lisbon, Southampton Dec 10-Dec 13: Southampton, Zeebrugge, Southampton Dec 13-Dec 23: Southampton, La Coruna, Cadiz, Malaga, Gibraltar, Lisbon, Southampton QE Sep 09-Sep 28: Vancouver, Tracy Arm/Juneau, Skagway, Hubbard Glacier, Anchorage, Seward, Kushiro, Aomori, Hakodate, Tokyo Sep 28-Oct 07: Tokyo, Akita, Kanazawa, Sakaiminato, Busan, Nagasaki, Tokyo Oct 07-Oct 16: Tokyo, Kushiro, Korsakov, Otaru, Aomori, Hakodate, Tokyo Oct 16-Oct 25: Tokyo, Kobe, Kochi, Busan, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Tokyo Oct 25-Nov 01: Tokyo, Naha/Okinawa, Ishigaki, Hong Kong Nov 01-Nov 08: Hong Kong, Chan May, Phu My, Singapore Nov 08-Nov 23: Singapore, Jakarta, Bali, Darwin, Airlie Beach, Brisbane, Sydney Nov 23-Nov 25: Sydney, Melbourne (Note there's still a big gap in QE's schedule from Jun 12 to Sep 09 (Vancouver, Vancouver).

Lynnewob Posted August 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Thank you for posting these. Again, it is a shame there are no Med fly cruises, only the longer Ston round trips to the Med on QV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohl57 Posted August 2, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Shame... Cunard seems determined to do away with what we like: long roundtrip cruises from Southampton to the Med. Their progamme remains ever increasingly northern. Never have received an explanation for what is a huge reduction in Med cruises from from the UK and fly-cruises. and.... Nov 04-Nov 16: Southampton, Alesund, Tromso, Narvik, Stavanger, Southampton In November?? What can they be thinking?? At least you won't be fighting for a deck chair on this one.

Host Hattie Posted August 2, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 2, 2018 They are probably thinking people want a chance to see the Northern Lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted August 2, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Assuming the above QM2 schedule for the remainder of 2020 is correct, here is an update to the list of the number of QM2 transatlantic crossings per year which I compiled last year in response to a question about whether the number of crossings had been decreasing in recent years. Keep in mind there is a gap in QM2's schedule in November (presumably for a drydock) which likely has an impact on the number of crossings for 2020. QM2 Crossings Per Year 2004 = 15 2005 = 26 2006 = 20 2007 = 23 2008 = 24 2009 = 23 2010 = 21 2011 = 21 2012 = 20 2013 = 18 2014 = 18 2015 = 22 2016 = 21 2017 = 24 2018 = 24 2019 = 24 2020 = 22* * The count for 2020 includes a westbound crossing in December prior to the Christmas cruise which has not yet been announced.

Rare babs135 Posted August 2, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I was hoping that the Queen Elizabeth would do Alaska and home to Southampton as she is next year, but if she is still doing Alaska in September then this looks unlikely. This would be a huge disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BklynBoy8 Posted August 3, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 3, 2018 So happy to see the change in 2020 with the 4th July Sailing on the QM2 from the flip flopping of Halifax and St John's of the past. Next year change to 7 days and adding Newport attracted us. And now still staying with the 7 days and changing to Portland Maine in 2020 may attract more newbies to try the QM2. Jun 29-Jul 06: New York, Halifax, Portland (Maine), Boston, New York After sailing the QE2 over 12 years ago, this was the type of cruise we used in 2006 to see if we would like the QM2 and now is she is our #1 Ship. Hope others will experience the same feeling and adopt her for their future vacations/holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseluvva Posted August 5, 2018 #21 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Very disappointing that there aren’t the lovely Greek Island cruises any more. In fact there isn’t much to the Med at all. Methinks we’ll have to look elsewhere sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare carlmm Posted August 6, 2018 #22 Share Posted August 6, 2018 That's very disappointing - after 2019 another year of cold weather cruises only in the summer. Well, I guess Carnival figures there must be enough people who like the cold. For me, after having "frozen" on cruises to Iceland, Norway and the Baltics in the summer in the past, a warm weather schedule is much more preferable.

bluemarble Posted August 14, 2018 #23 Share Posted August 14, 2018 That's interesting. All those new 2020 itineraries for Cunard I reported earlier in this thread are no longer appearing today on the search engine used by the site where I originally found them. I wonder if they were pulled until Cunard formally announces them or if perhaps changes are in the works. I guess time will tell if those earlier listings are accurate or not. Stay tuned for further developments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
