The classic
traditions of the golden age of ocean travel are very much alive today
aboard Cunard's Cruise Liners - Queen Mary 2 (QM2),
Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. For more than 169
years, Cunard Line has proven that true luxury belongs to no particular
era. Discover the superior White Star Service for which royalty,
celebrities and travelers from every walk of life have come to enjoy.
Aboard the line's five-star vessels and in the unique adventures ashore,
Cunard blends music and art with cuisine and conversation, invigorating
walks with reading and relaxation, explorations of historic landmarks with
the purity of nature. This is the Cunard legacy: timeless elegance,
incomparable service, intriguing destinations and, quite simply, a more
cultured experience.
Queen Mary 2 (QM2), is Cunard's 2,620-passenger flagship, is
widely recognized as the most famous ship in the world. At 150,000
gross tons, the QM2 has an amazing array of luxury accomodations and
public spaces. As the first true ocean liner to be built in
over three decades, this extraordinary 150,000-ton Queen is amongst the
longest, largest and widest vessels ever built. But despite her grand
scale,QM2 carries a relatively small compliment of 2,620
passengers in an atmosphere echoing the glamour of the golden age of ocean
travel. Whether sailing on an annual around-the-world journey or
serving as a link between Britain and the Americas, she is truly an
international icon.
The Cunard fleet also includes two other modern ocean liners
built to Cunard's exacting standards - Queen Victoria (2007 / 90,000
gross tons / 2014 passengers), and a newly built, but familiarly
named Queen Elizabeth (Fall 2010 / 90,400 gross tons / 2092
passengers).
For more than 169 years, a Cunard Queen has reigned on the high seas.
This tradition has continued with the introduction these fine new
vessels that offer the very best of Cunard's heritage and traditions,
along with all modern day luxuries. Exciting new innovations aboard
these vessels include the first traditional West End-style private viewing
boxes at sea in the Royal Court Theatre; the first floating Cunardia
museum display, housing Cunard artifacts and memorabilia and the first
two-story, 'spiral staircased' library at sea. The ship also features the
line's celebrated luxury Grills accommodation and dining, further enhanced
on Queen Victoria with exclusive deck terraces and an al fresco dining
option.
