The launch of Cunard’s Summer at Sea UK voyages has driven the cruise line’s busiest booking day in the UK for a decade.

The Queen Elizabeth sailings, between July and October 2021, are round-trips from Southampton.

Cunard president Simon Palethorpe said: “This record-breaking day follows a phenomenal response to our Centenary World Voyages, on board Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria in 2023, which went on sale a few weeks ago.

“In perhaps an indication that guests are upgrading having not travelled for a while, suites on board these voyages pretty well sold-out at the end of the first day of sales, with only one top suite remaining.

“We are delighted by this response from guests and particular thanks to all of our agent partners for their continued work supporting guest bookings.”

The Summer at Sea season was announced last month and features 10 British Isles Voyages and three Sun Voyages lasting between three and 12 nights.

Four-night British Isles Voyages cost from £599 per person for a Balcony Stateroom.
