QM2 Roundtrip Discount?

[rosinryanz]

Does Cunard offer a discount for people wishing to sail transatlantic roundtrip (in lieu of using the included air)? I know QE2 did this for many years. I would love to be able to sail over, travel around, and then sail back.

Hi,

 

I think it's about £150 per voyage....

 

I asked for a cruise only price on a QE2 transatlantic and the airfare discount was £150... I assume it's a set price for all the transatlantic's, but I may be wrong.

 

Probably best to just ask Cunard the question.

 

Regards,

 

David

We are booked in July, each crossing had its own rates and there was no discount.

In North America, air is not automatically included in transatlantic fares.

Even when it was, there really wasn't much of a discount when you worked out the math because most of it was the associated air cost.

 

On the North American tariff, the only combined fares are for a crossing, plus 12 night Europe and then the return crossing. These 24 night voyages typically do not have promotional rates. Therefore, it is usually less expensive to book the three voyages separately using promotional rates.

You really need to indicate whether you are booking via US or UK. Things are radically different for each side of the pond.

Sorry, I'm in the US. I remember that when I was last interested (1998 or so), Cunard offered a huge discount if you sailed roundtrip on QE2.

 

Also, is there no longer return air included?

I don't know thw answer to a discount for r/t cruise but can tell you that air is not included. However, I found their one way air fare reasonable ( around $450 to New York)

We actually did book our three voyages seperately as the savings over booking the 24 days was considerable , approximately 15% less.

Keep in mind that if you've sailed with any of Cunard's sister cruise lines, you may be eligible for a past passenger discount.

Hi,

 

My wife and I haven't had included air on crossings as of late. Please check your brochures. As far as I know, included air is out.

 

Thanks,
