CUNARD Line has confirmed several voyages aboard its Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth will operate with reduced occupancy due to a shortage of qualified crew.
It’s understood some passengers are being notified of booking cancellations, with a spokesperson for Cunard saying “the wider impact of COVID-19 is affecting hospitality and disrupting airlines, and as such this is impacting the number of crew members we are able to get to our ships”.
“We naturally want to ensure that all guests across the fleet experience the high standards of service onboard that they would expect from Cunard and which we are committed to delivering…we are therefore limiting the number of guests sailing on Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria as we build crew numbers back up.
“Unfortunately, this means that we need to cancel a number of existing bookings”, with a full refund and 25% future cruise credit offered to impacted passengers.
