Thread: Cunard Imposes Fuel Surcharge

Well, guess I was just slightly ahead of the game in my other post about fuel surcharges, because here's the first announcement that just came out today from Cunard raising their fuel supplement. At least they did NOT do it retroactively like we expected. Can others be far behind in implementing theirs?


Dear Travel Partner:

Due to the continued escalation of fuel prices, Cunard Line will increase our fuel supplement from $3.85 (USD) to $6.00 (USD) per person per day. This supplement will not exceed $200.00 per person, per voyage. The supplement applies to each paying guest travelling, including 3rd and 4th person fares and paid children's accommodations.

The new fuel supplement will apply to all new bookings made on or after 31 December 2010 for voyages departing on or after 14 April 2011.

We regret having to take this action, but as fuel prices continue to rise we now find it necessary to implement this additional supplement.

Thank you for your business and continuous support.

Once it starts others follow. Still won't stop me from cruising

I am glad I have booked my 2012 cruise already.
