| Cunard cancels

THE first five scheduled voyages aboard Cunard Line’s Queen Elizabeth have been cancelled after a number of crew members tested positive for coronavirus.

Elizabeth’s first staycation cruise should have been a trip to Cornwall, departing from Southampton on Tue, but it and the four following it will no longer depart.

Although Cunard was able to limit the number of new crew members joining the ship, this has meant final essential preparations and training schedules have both been impacted.
