jimbo1683 Posted October 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2021 We have booked a cruise in 2023 but we dont want to wait that long before getting a taste of cruising so we're looking at doing a very short 2 night QM2 cruise to Hamburg early next year. Cunard include the return flight. I know this will be a different experience to a longer cruise, but hopefully fun all the same. What I'm trying to find out is with Cunard organising a transfer to the airport and the flight will I have any flexibility on the times - i would like to spend a few hours sightseeing in Hamburg, will that be possible or is it likely to be straight on the bus to the airport once we disembark?

Redrobo Posted October 4, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Why not do the 4 day cruise Hamburg and return. You would be able to spend the day in Hamburg or explore further afield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did this same cruise a few years ago and no, there is no opportunity for sightseeing if you use Cunard transfers. We stayed on the ship until around 1pm when coaches arrived to take us to the airport. You could ask if you could disembark earlier and make your own way to the airport.

How does the flight work - do you get given a flight, or do you have the chance to choose one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
