Here's the latest from the Cunard travel health advisories page confirming that announcement. "As a result of this situation, Queen Mary 2 is now sailing directly to Singapore, calling as scheduled on 12/13 February. She is scheduled to call again in Singapore on 18/19 February, as previously announced. However, given the situation, itineraries will remain under review. Queen Elizabeth is no longer calling at Hong Kong on 31 March and Shanghai on 4 April. Details of her revised itinerary will be announced as soon as possible."

LittleFish1976 Posted February 8, 2020 #103 Share Posted February 8, 2020 It's really interesting following the trail of infection. These two articles from the Singapore Straits Times detail that trail, or the start of the recent increase in infection in Singapore. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/coronavirus-china-tour-group-linked-to-local-transmissions-visited-at-least-six-places-in https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/coronavirus-7-new-confirmed-cases-in-spore-possible-new-cluster-involving-church-in-paya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleFish1976 Posted February 9, 2020 #105 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Just posted on the Cunard website is this updated information on the QM2 itineraries. https://www.cunard.com/en-au/contact-us/travel-health-advisories In essence (and with spelling corrections to the name 'Fremantle'): As a result of this situation, Queen Mary 2 is now sailing directly to Fremantle, Australia, arriving on the 18th February. She will set sail from Fremantle on an Australian itinerary, details of which will follow. If you were due to join Queen Mary 2 in Singapore on 12/13 or 18/19 February you have the option to join in Fremantle on 18/19 February. Should you be on a shorter voyage from Singapore on 12/13 February your voyage will be automatically cancelled at no charge.
