Rare babs135 Posted September 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Do we have any idea when Cunard will announce these sailings? I'm getting rather impatient :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted September 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I read somewhere (here, no doubt) that a good guess is this autumn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Bedruthen Posted September 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The last info that I was told from Head Office, was that they would either announce the cruise in Nov 2017 or March 2018, presumably to coincide with other brochure launches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare babs135 Posted September 25, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Possibly not until March :eek: Wow, talk about keeping people hanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFlyer Posted September 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Next March is only a little over a year out from the cruise dates. Seems a bit late. I wonder if there is a member(s) of this board currently on one of the Queens who could ask the future cruise office on board and let us know here what answer is received???

Underwatr Posted September 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I've since read that they'll release the Alaska itineraries at the end of October. Open to booking for past passengers on 30 October and generally available on 31 October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_kerry_ Posted October 1, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Cunard doing Alaska voyages ? The only time I see them going Alaska is during world cruise. Looking to book Alaska next summer. Planning on going with princess but my hubby would definitely before waiting to take a Cunard trip. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Bedruthen Posted October 1, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Very strange conversation with UK Cunard today. The person on the phone was insistent that from 20th June to 30th June, QE is doing a Vancouver to Vancouver sailing with absolutely no port calls. She wouldn't budge on that even when I said it's a strange sort of cruise that goes nowhere.... Then 30th June to 3rd July it's Vancouver to San Francisco. Guess more patience is required.

Rare Scrapnana Posted October 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Cruisetimetables.com shows QE ending a cruise in Vancouver on 31 May and then nothing until 3 July (leaving from San Francisco).:confused::confused: :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Victoria2 Posted October 2, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) The Alaska list of ports for QE is out there May and July but not for June. Could she have been chartered? Edited October 2, 2017 by Victoria2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted October 3, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 3, 2017 No not charted, ( from the horses mouth) Cunard are waiting for HAL & Princess (who have 'priority in the Alaskan ports of call') to announce their Alaskan itineraries . Once that has been announced Cunard are looking at a 'possibility' of a round trip Vancouver, Vancouver with a 'few' Alaskan calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Cunard will apply for a Glacier Bay license once the present 10yr concessions run out late 2019. I know HAL and Princess have historical continued priority, but the other three cruise ship concessions might be up for grabs.It's the jewel destination of any Alaskan cruise in my opinion.

Once that has been announced Cunard are looking at a 'possibility' of a round trip Vancouver, Vancouver with a 'few' Alaskan calls. Oh! Bellboy that takes me back somewhat to a different era. In the late 70’s, early 80’s Vancouver to Vancouver was the Alaska run. I did it on Holland America and they were the Masters of Alaska, followed later by Princess. I went there over 25 times as a part of the ships company on H A. and hated it at first, but once it got to June , I loved it! I have no desire to go back as I saw it at its best before the introduction “lumberjacks” for tourist but it is a beautiful place and definitely a thing to add to ones bucket list.
