trickyoat Posted August 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Iv'e seen a cruise advertised for Queen Victoria in July 2019, just the one mind you but it is out there if you look hard enough. One or two new ports on the itinerary, so it looks like Cunard are mixing it up a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats2010 Posted August 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Many thanks for this information, tri****at. I am very happy to discover that my TA has already published most of the Cunard cruises for 2019 :') ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted August 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hopefully that means they will be available for the rest of us soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben_83 Posted August 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I received an email saying P&O summer 2019 cruises go on sale 4th September. I know this isn't Cunard but they are both owned by Carnival and run out of the UK offices so I guess it may be around the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats2010 Posted August 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Maybe, Ben_83, but not all of the Cunard/Carnival cruises are managed by the UK office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted August 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 19, 2017 A good deal of the Cunard 2019 schedule can now be found under the "Find a Cruise" function here on Cruise Critic. Here is what I have been able to compile so far from various sources for the Cunard 2019 schedule that is not already available on "cunard.com". I haven't been able to find the specific ports of call for Queen Elizabeth's three 10-day cruises from Vancouver beginning May 31, 2019, so I have just indicated "(Alaska)" here. I suppose those ports of call could be the same as for her previously announced 10-day segment from Vancouver for May 21-31, but I don't want to make that assumption. Queen Mary 2 May 5-12 New York, Southampton May 12-17 Southampton, Zeebrugge, Cornwall, Saint Peter Port, Southampton May 17-24 Southampton, New York May 24-31 New York-Southampton May 31-Jun 7 Southampton, New York Jun 7-14 New York, Southampton Jun 14-23 Southampton, Hamburg, Zeebrugge, Saint Peter Port, Hamburg, Southampton Jun 23-30 Southampton, New York Jun 30-Jul 7 New York, Halifax, Boston, Newport, New York Jul 7-14 New York, Southampton Jul 14-28 New York, Southampton, Liverpool, Reykjavik, Corner Brook, Halifax, New York Jul 28-Aug 4 New York, Southampton Aug 4-11 Southampton, Bergen, Alesund, Flaam, Stavanger, Southampton Aug 11-18 Southampton, New York Aug 18-25 New York, Southampton Aug 25-Sep 1 Southampton, New York Sep 1-15 New York, Bar Harbor, Corner Brook, Sept-Iles, Quebec City, Saguenay, Sydney, Halifax, New York Sep 15-22 New York, Southampton Sep 22-26 Southampton, Hamburg, Southampton Sep 26-Oct 4 Southampton, Le Havre, New York Oct 4-18 New York, Bar Harbor, Corner Brook, Sept-Iles, Quebec City, Saguenay, Sydney, Halifax, New York Oct 18-25 New York, Southampton Oct 25-Nov 3 Southampton, Hamburg, Zeebrugge, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Southampton Nov 3-10 Southampton, New York Nov 10-17 New York, Southampton Nov 17-19 Southampton, Zeebrugge, Southampton Nov 19-26 Southampton, New York Nov 26-Dec 8 New York, Tortola, Dominica, Bridgetown, Castries, Saint Kitts, New York Dec 8-15 New York, Southampton Queen Elizabeth May 31-Jun 10 Vancouver, (Alaska), Vancouver Jun 10-20 Vancouver, (Alaska), Vancouver Jun 20-30 Vancouver, (Alaska), Vancouver Jun 30-Aug 8 Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Quetzal, Puntarenas, Fuerte Amador, Panama Canal, Oranjestad, Fort Lauderdale, New York, Halifax, St. John's, Isafjordur, Reykjavik, Greenock, Dublin, Southampton Aug 8-11 Southampton, Saint Peter Port, Southampton Aug 11-25 Southampton, Skagen, Copenhagen, Saint Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm, Warnemunde, Southampton Aug 25-Sep 6 Southampton, Stavanger, Olden, Lofoten Islands, Tromso, Trondheim, Andalsnes, Bergen, Southampton Sep 6-20 Southampton, Stornoway, Akureyri, Isafjordur, Reykjavik, Greenock, Dublin, Southampton Sep 20-Oct 4 Southampton, Warnemunde, Helsinki, Saint Petersburg, Tallinn, Riga, Copenhagen, Southampton Oct 4-8 Southampton, Amsterdam, Southampton Oct 8-20 Southampton, Alesund, Tromso, Narvik, Stavanger, Southampton Oct 20-Nov 1 Southampton, Funchal, La Palma Island, Tenerife, Lanzarote, La Coruna, Southampton Queen Victoria Apr 28-May 12 Southampton, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tallinn, Saint Petersburg, Kiel, Skagen, Southampton May 12-19 Southampton, Stavanger, Flaam, Olden, Haugesund, Southampton May 19-Jun 4 Southampton, Skagen, Copenhagen, Gdynia, Visby, Saint Petersburg, Klaipeda, Oslo, Kristiansand, Southampton Jun 4-16 Southampton, Greenock, Oban, Isle of Skye, Kirkwall, Dublin, Liverpool, Cobh, Saint Peter Port, Southampton Jun 16-23 Southampton, Haugesund, Olden, Flaam, Bergen, Southampton Jun 23-30 Southampton, Saint Peter Port, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge, Cherbourg, Southampton Jun 30-Jul 14 Southampton, Olden, Alesund, Akureyri, Isafjordur, Reykjavik, Stornoway, Southampton Jul 14-28 Southampton, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Visby, Tallinn, Saint Petersburg, Kiel, Goteborg, Southampton Jul 28-Aug 11 Southampton, Lerwick, Akureyri, Isafjordur, Reykjavik, Greenock, Dublin, Southampton Aug 11-23 Southampton, Newcastle upon Tyne, Edinburgh, Bass Rock, Isle of May, Invergordon, Isle of Skye, Greenock, Belfast, Liverpool, Saint Peter Port, Southampton Aug 23-Sep 6 Southampton, Oslo, Klaipeda, Visby, Tallinn, Saint Petersburg, Gdynia, Southampton Sep 6-20 Southampton, Vigo, Palma de Mallorca, La Spezia, Cannes, Barcelona, Gibraltar, Southampton Sep 20-Oct 9 Southampton, Cartagena, Corfu, Dubrovnik, Hvar, Venice, Cagliari, Gibraltar, Southampton Oct 9-21 Southampton, Funchal, La Palma Island, Tenerife, Lanzarote, La Coruna, Southampton Oct 21-Nov 4 Southampton, Cadiz, Barcelona, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Cartagena, Gibraltar, Southampton Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare babs135 Posted August 20, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 20, 2017 One good point is that there are a lot of no-fly cruises. Always a plus when it comes to packing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted August 20, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Some very nice looking trips. But I already have 3 booked so will need to wait a bit before booking anything else. Well unless the price is right and I can't resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted August 21, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I noticed a transcription error in the Cunard 2019 schedule I posted yesterday. Well, there's probably more than just one, but what I happened to spot is an issue with QM2's 14-day voyage for July 14-28. That voyage starts in Southampton, not New York. The previous voyage for July 7-14 is an eastbound crossing as indicated, so a 21-day round trip from New York should be possible for July 7-28, 2019.

Lynnewob Posted August 21, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Blue Marble - am I correct in thinking that there are 3 x 10 night cruises doing a round trip from Vancouver Alaska trip or am I missing something here? It seems rather odd that they would do it 3 times. "May 31-Jun 10 Vancouver, (Alaska), Vancouver Jun 10-20 Vancouver, (Alaska), Vancouver Jun 20-30 Vancouver, (Alaska), Vancouver" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"May 31-Jun 10 Vancouver, (Alaska), Vancouver Jun 10-20 Vancouver, (Alaska), Vancouver Jun 20-30 Vancouver, (Alaska), Vancouver" I believe the cruise(s) is at the end of the Queen Elizabeth's Grand Voyage and all three cruises have slightly different itineraries. If I'm wrong someone will correct me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyDancer Posted August 21, 2017 #17 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Just got an e-mail from Cunard. 2019 voyages go on sale to World Club members at 8 am on 14 September and to everyone else the next day. You can register an interest from 8 am on Tuesday 5 September. There are some interesting itineraries there. I like the look of several. Decisions, decisions !

It's certainly interesting and it would indeed be the year of Brexit. My first thought was that with there being so many Med cruises are they looking to differentiate themselves in terms of itineraries? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Camgirl.. the med is becoming problematic for many cruise lines, along with the refugees floating around the med and the legal ramifications of having to pick them up and take them to the nearest safe port etc along with so many "no go" ports now because of security issues , Turkey, Egypt, Israel etc most cruise lines have been looking at changes for a few years but it takes a few seasons for the changed ports to work through the system. Hopefully Cunard will look at spending more time here in the safer waters of the Pacific in the next few years.. Send your Son down here we will show them a great time!

Cats2010 Posted August 22, 2017 #24 Share Posted August 22, 2017 It seems that most of the refugees are in the Mediterranean Sea bordering Libya. Specialized ships from numerous countries are present to ensure security, the conditions are changing. The situation is complex and it takes time to change things to the better. Still I would rather visit North African countries by ship instead of using other means of transport. The times we live in are hard all around the world, but this does not keep me away from travelling :) ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I would rather visit North African countries by ship instead of using other means of transport.The times we live in are hard all around the world, but this does not keep me away from travelling :) ! A lot of the refugees are crossing to Kos in Greece and from Lybia across to Sicily and Malta, theres a map here from the BBC showing some of the routes. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-24521614 You only have to consider the ramifications of a cruise ship coming across a boat of refugees and having to stop to pick them up - deliver them to a safe port and can only leave once they have been accepted. For the cruiselines this must be a nightmare considering the effects this will have on their bottom dollar. I can't imagine Ernie and Ethel been alt pleased if they thought they were heading off for a trip of a life time jaunt to cyprus and Rhodes and been diverted to Kos and made to stay there for a week while things were sorted. A lot of the cruse lines have had to reconsider their protocols and security precautions several years in advance for their Itins, I think the Med has been problematic for some time, also the number of cruise ships servicing the area can't help. Its a great opportunity for us if they have to consider their usual routes as hopefully more interesting ports will come through. Alaska next year is one fantastic new one, I hope they consider stationing one of the Cunaders this side for a season in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
