jocap Posted March 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2021 You've probably heard the news already... summer sailings for these four lines, and I picked up the rumour that Cunard will have a ship ready. Viking and Fred aren't asking for vaccinations, but other procedures will be in place. Very exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray66 Posted March 17, 2021 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2021 P&O are coastal cruising only with no stops and using just two ships Iona and Britannia. Britannia is doing an overnight in Liverpool right at the end. Booking from 22nd March. Only for passengers who have had two jabs. So no good for children it seems. Cunard is using just the Queen Elizabeth, also we think just for coastal cruising. No itineraries as yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBP&O2/O Posted March 18, 2021 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Just to rain on the parade ...FCO website dated this year and currently valid The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office advises against cruise ship travel at this time. This is due to the ongoing pandemic and is based on medical advice from Public Health England. Cruise ship travel means staying overnight for at least 1 night on a sea-going cruise ship with people from multiple households. Our advice against cruises applies to international travel on a ship that is exclusively for pleasure or recreation, providing overnight accommodation and other leisure facilities such as entertainment venues or swimming pools.

Ray66 Posted March 22, 2021 #11 Share Posted March 22, 2021 P&O staycation cruises have gone on sale now https://www.pocruises.com/ultimate-escape I think they are sailing half full and you can't choose your cabin number, just the category, i.e. guarantee. Cunard's are due on 31st March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
