Cruise agents have told TTG of their “surprise” and “disappointment” about Carnival UK’s decision to move Cunard’s Queen Anne ship to P&O Cruises in 2029.
Queen Anne only joined the Cunard fleet in 2024 but will move across to sister brand – P&O Cruises – in three years' time
The decision, announced late on Tuesday (6 October) afternoon, caught many agents off guard with one agency boss saying that it had left the trade “with more questions than answers”.
From 2029, Cunard will operate three ships – Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. All three vessels will have undergone “substantial” refits before Queen Anne leaves the fleet.
