British cruise stalwart Cunard is looking to launch "staycation" cruises as the UK looks to exit its latest Covid-19 lockdown.

The cruise operator will offer a series of UK voyages on the 2,081-berth Queen Elizabeth (built 2010), providing what it described as a “unique and luxurious staycation opportunity this summer for British guests”.

Cruises will depart from Cunard's home port of Southampton, with the ship remaining within UK coastal waters.
