P&O Cruises and Cunard have extended the suspension of their cruises until the end of July due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
P&O Cruises President Paul Ludlow said: “With the current quarantine in place and government recommendations around the world advising against travel, it is necessary to extend the suspension of operations for all cruises until July 31 inclusive.
Cunard has also suspended cruises on the Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria until July 31. The Queen Elizabeth had a planned Alaskan season that is now unfeasible, so they have canceled the entire season and all cruises through September 8.
Cunard Chairman Simon Palethorpe said: “These are extraordinary times and this ongoing global threat continues to challenge Cunard and the entire industry. Nothing would please us more than to put our fleet back in service and give our guests the holidays they deserve, but with current quarantines and travel restrictions in place around the world, that is not possible at this time.”
