JimmyLeg Posted December 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Researching QM2 for 2025, Southampton to NYC. Does anyone know when tickets go on sale for 2025, specifically May 2025? Thank you.

Rare david,Mississauga Posted December 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2022 No-one, not even Cunard, will be able to answer your question. It was only earlier this month that the 2024 season went on sale and the date for that wasn't confirmed too far in advance. Many people asked about 2024. There was a lot of speculation and references to previous years. That was interesting but not really helpful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted December 10, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Here are the dates when Cunard has announced their summer/autumn schedules and when they have gone on sale the last few years. Those are the schedules for the remainder of the year after the world voyages (or winter/spring schedules) which are announced earlier. Summer/Autumn voyage schedule announcement dates 2024: Announced Nov 29, 2022; On Sale Dec 6/7, 2022 (except QE) 2023: Announced Jan 18, 2022; On Sale Feb 1/2, 2022 2022: Announced Nov 5, 2020; On Sale Nov 17, 2020 2021: Announced Sep 17, 2019; On Sale Sep 24/25, 2019 (except QE Alaska) 2020: Announced Sep 13, 2018; On Sale Sep 24/25, 2018 (except QE Alaska) 2019: Announced Sep 5, 2017; On Sale Sep 14/15, 2017 (except QE Alaska) 2018: Announced Sep 6, 2016; On Sale Sep 20/21, 2016 As you can see, pre-Covid, Cunard was consistently announcing those schedules during September two years prior. There was indeed discussion that Cunard might try to get back closer to that schedule this year with an October announcement. But that didn't happen. Plus nothing at all has been announced yet for QE beyond her previously announced Japan season in spring 2024, not just a delay in announcing her Alaska season. That's different this year. So make of this what you will. As @david,Mississauga has pointed out, this history hasn't proven all that helpful for predicting announcement dates in recent years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyLeg Posted December 10, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Ok. Thank you for these details. Might have to set up a Google Alert for the QM2 calendar page and get notified of changes. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted December 10, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just now, Windsurfboy said: Are the world cruises announced at different times. Here is the recent history for the announcement of the world/exotic voyages (or winter/spring schedules). World/Exotic voyage schedule announcement dates 2024: Announced May 4, 2022; On Sale May 17/18, 2022 (QA), May 24/25, 2022 (QM2,QV,QE) 2023: Announced Mar 9, 2021; On Sale March 16/17, 2021 2022: Announced Dec 12, 2019; On Sale December 18/19, 2019 2021: Announced Mar 4, 2019; On Sale March 12/13, 2019 2020: Announced Mar 2, 2018; On Sale March 19/20, 2018 2019: Announced Mar 13, 2017; On Sale March 28/29, 2017 These are the initial announcement dates. I've omitted the subsequent dates when replacement voyages were announced for voyages that were impacted the past couple years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
