QM 2 a truly glamorous cruise ship
Cunard have delivered on their promise of luxury
Cunard, the epitome of British essence, focuses on recalling the golden age of sea travel for those who missed it the first time.
For over 150 years, the line has provided the ultimate in deluxe ocean travel experiences. Its ships sail to exotic destinations throughout the world, including the Greek Isles, Scandinavia, transatlantic, Australia, and Dubai.
Superb White Star Service, gourmet cuisine and sumptuous accommodations have secured Cunard a reputation as the crown jewel of traditional ocean travel. Accentuating art, music, the beauty of nature and the exploration of consequential landmarks, Cunard gracefully affords a more cultured experience in a timeless ambiance.
Those who think that Titanic was the last truly glamorous transatlantic vessel is in for a surprise: Cunard has built a new flagship, the Queen Mary 2, she was christened by Queen Elizabeth 2 and entered service in January 2004.
Built at a cost of $800 million, she is the most expensive vessel ever constructed, and at 150,000 tons, certainly the largest liner ever to cross the oceans. At 1,132 feet long she is also the longest passenger ship ever built.
Despite her size, QM 2 carries only 2,620 passengers and a crew of 1,300. Cunard has delivered on its promise of luxury, including large accommodations (194 - 5,000 square feet), with some 75% of all outside staterooms boasting private balconies.
The decor is everyone's fantasy of a great liner with sweeping staircases, domed public rooms, a grand ballroom, and the largest at sea, the first planetarium at sea, lots of Cunard memorabilia, five indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a full 360-degree Promenade Deck.
There are many elegant bars and showrooms, a two-story theatre, a casino, boutiques, the only Canyon Ranch Spa Club at sea, a pet kennel, and a children’s facility, complete with British nannies. Restaurants include 10 dining venues, including the only shipboard restaurant by celebrity chef Todd English.
