Transatlantic Crossing
The excitement of a grand Cunard Transatlantic Crossing has changed little over the years. Only the liners and their amenities have evolved for a modern age. Six leisurely days at sea. The Old World to the New, or back. On the floating world of the Queen Mary 2, that can mean relaxing on deck and doing nothing at all or it can mean filling your hours with lectures, classes, activities and new friends. However you choose to spend your days, you'll be part of one of travel's richest traditions.
Hamburg - Germany
Absorb the rich historic atmosphere of Germany's greatest port city on your overnight stay. The heritage of the Hanseatic League is evident once more in this great seafaring crossroads, much of which has been carefully restored to its pre-war glory. Hamburg is a place where anything can – and frequently does – happen, like giving the world its first glimpse of The Beatles.
Southampton - England
Cunard's home port, part of seafaring legend, is an ideal starting or ending point for a memorable cruise. No airport check ins. No baggage restrictions. No hassle! Simply start your holiday in style with a glass of champagne on deck aboard one of the most famous ocean liners in the world.
New York - New York
Now that Queen Mary 2 departs and arrives at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal you can see the best of both worlds!
Walk across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, this engineering milestone ranks among the world's greatest suspension bridges. From there, head over to the promenade for an even better view of lower Manhattan and the harbor. Next, take a rollercoaster ride, see a dolphin show in Coney Island or explore one of the world's best Egyptian collections at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
See the bright lights of the Big Apple, international mecca and melting pot, with expensive brownstones, colourful neighbourhoods like Greenwich Village and the Upper West Side, and the legendary Central Park. Explore some of the world's great museums - the Museum of Modern Art, (etc.) Some come just for the shopping: there's Bloomingdale's on Lex, Tiffany's on Fifth, Barneys and the unique boutiques along Madison. Or head downtown and explore the trendy shops of SoHo.
