Queen Mary 2

Sailing Dates:

Queen Mary 2
Majesty, redefined.
Queen Mary 2 is the most magnificent ocean liner ever built. Her every detail harkens to the Golden Age of Ocean Travel, while providing one of the most modern travel experiences on earth. From bow to stern, discover 13 spacious decks on which to relax and unwind; to indulge in pleasures and pursuits you never normally have time for. Opulent public areas, extravagant dining rooms, ballrooms, theatres, lounges...even the only Planetarium at sea.
It is only in a world like this that modern fairy tales at sea are possible - where ordinary travelers can feel like royalty for a week or two. But words can only do such a lady so much justice, for to truly revel in the grandeur that is Queen Mary 2, you must sail with her.

Entertainment
It may be nighttime that most sets the Queen Mary 2 experience apart from other cruise lines. For where else will you attend such dazzling affairs as a Black and White Captain's Ball, Ascot Ball or Pirates Ball - all in a setting as stunning as the Queens Room? This Queen's Royal Nights are simply lavish - and you are on the guest list. Or, catch a staged musical production, or perhaps a bit of Shakespeare performed by actors from London's RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art), in the Royal Court Theatre. You may want to save time for the Empire Casino, or put on your dancing shoes at G32 nightclub. Gentleman Dance Hosts on every Cunard voyage ensure that even ladies traveling alone have a dancing partner.
But there are also options for those seeking simpler pleasures in an evening. Like fine wine and quiet conversation at Sir Samuel's, a flute of bubbly at Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bar, jazz in the Chart Room or lounge tunes and ambience in the Commodore Club. And, of course, there is ale and ample cheer at the Golden Lion Pub.
