If travel is meant to be savored, then crossing the oceans should be a majestic experience, not merely a hop across the pond. For travelers of this persuasion, only one name evokes the pleasures of the Golden Era of Ocean Travel: Cunard Line.
Proudly continuing the tradition of luxury cruising that began in 1840, Queen Victoria™ was successfully launched in December 2007 and was named by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall in a spectacular ceremony in Southampton.
Queen Mary 2® continues her scheduled transatlantic service and the demand for this legendary crossing is growing. Maintaining the tradition of her Cunard and White Star Line predecessors, Queen Mary 2 is the only ship offering regularly scheduled transatlantic service.
Queen Elizabeth 2 celebrated her 40th anniversary in September 2007 and continues to set the standard of British elegance with superb White Star Service™ and gourmet cuisine. QE2 is the world’s most loved ship and 2008 saw her farewell season start in style with her 26th World Cruise followed by many roundtrip Southampton voyages until November when she sails her final voyages to her new home in Dubai.
