Cunard

Overview

Cunard is the iconic British ocean-liner brand with over 180 years of majestic sea travel behind it, known for its Queen-ships — Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, and the new Queen Anne — and its timeless elegance at sea. Maintaining a legacy of sophistication, Cunard fuses grand liner tradition with modern comforts to offer a voyage that feels like both a social event and a serene escape.

 Why Travelers Choose Them

Guests choose Cunard because of its White Star Service, delivering refined, attentive, and courteous hospitality — from butler-level service in premium suites to warm, knowledgeable staff across all classes. Cunard also offers a deeply romantic and classic ocean experience with unique traditions like formal Gala Evenings, daily Afternoon Tea in the Queen’s Room, and enriching onboard enrichment lectures. Its long-standing reputation for luxury, history, and quality makes it a favorite for travelers seeking more than just a cruise — a grand maritime journey.

 Highlights

  • Legendary Transatlantic Crossings: Cunard is one of the few cruise lines that still offers regularly scheduled crossings between New York and Southampton, evoking the golden age of ocean liners.
  • Four Queen Ships: The fleet includes majestic ocean liners like Queen Mary 2 (the only true transatlantic ocean liner in service) and the newer Queen Anne, all designed with stately Art Deco detail and elegant public spaces.
  • Gourmet Dining & Afternoon Tea: Expect formal dining rooms, specialty restaurants, and the iconic British afternoon tea served by white-gloved waiters in the grand Queens Room.
  • Cultural Enrichment: From a planetarium on QM2 to a full guest-lecture “Insights” program, each voyage features stimulating talks, classical concerts, and stargazing events.
  • Wellness & Relaxation: The Mareel® Spa & Wellness Center offers marine-based therapies, Finnish saunas, and a tranquil space for restoration on every journey.
  • World & Grand Voyages: Sail to remote corners of the globe — from South America to Asia and Africa — with expertly crafted itineraries and overnight stays.
