Rare Keith1010 Posted February 21, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I still see Istanbul on some of the itineraries starting in July on Queen Victoria. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted February 21, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Some have pulled out but many have not yet. I think it will depend on ongoing circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangoqueen Posted February 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I phoned Cunard a short while ago to ask whether they would be changing itinerary for Istanbul and was advised that they would not be at the moment but would review if necessary. I'm reluctant to book and then find I don't like the changed itinerary if that happened. I shall wait and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hihilo Posted February 27, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2016 There is no guarantee--EVER--- on any cruise that any given port will actually happen. Bad weather--- Political unrest----illness outbreak--- war/riots/ ((tiny whisper, here--- someone falls/ jumps overboard)), all these unforeseen events impact if the ship makes its scheduled ports or not. Impossible for CUNARD or any line to GUARANTEE that your favorite port will Happen For Sure. Happy travelling !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweby Posted February 28, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thank you for those replies. I love Istanbul, it's an amazing place. I suppose it comes down to Foreign office advice. Sweby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csardas Posted February 28, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 28, 2016 We're booked on a July cruise that has 2days in Istanbul (QV). Do the cruise lines follow Foreign Office advice or are they even more risk adverse and may change/cancel anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
