COVID-19 When COVID-19 started to spread around in the world in 2020, Queen Mary 2 was in the midst of a world cruise. In early February, Cunard cancelled the Asian leg of the voyage, and the vessel stopped in Singapore only to refuel and sailed to Australia. On 15 March, Cunard cancelled the remainder of the voyage, disembarked all passengers at Fremantle, and ordered the ship back to Southampton. It stopped briefly on 2 April in Durban to disembark six South African crew members before continuing to its home port. Queen Mary 2 arrived back in Southampton on 15 April. Due to the pandemic, Cunard suspended all voyages of the Queen Mary 2 until November 2021. In August 2021 Cunard announced that the ship would enter drydock in Brest, France prior to her return to service. On 28 November 2021, Queen Mary 2 returned to service.
