Cunard announces Fuel Charge increase

[MCC retired]

Due to the continued escalation of fuel prices, Cunard Line will increase our fuel supplement from $6.00 (USD) to $9.00 (USD) per person per day. This supplement will not exceed $300.00 per person, per voyage. The supplement applies to each paying guest travelling, including 3rd and 4th person fares and paid children's accommodations.

The new fuel supplement will apply to all new bookings made on or after 28 February 2011 for voyages departing on or after 14 April 2011.

We regret having to take this action, but as fuel prices continue to rise we now find it necessary to implement this additional supplement.

Thanks to Zider and MCC for that information.

Clearly, up-to-date information is more available here than on the cunard website. -S.
