The legacy of Cunard...
It was a more civilized era, the golden age of sea
travel. Crossing the ocean was a grand event unto itself, the very
embodiment of sophistication and privilege. And traveling Cunard was what
one naturally chose for such a voyage. Cunard's glorious ocean liners
were floating palaces of art deco splendor and Edwardian excess,
surrounding guests with every comfort and luxury. They attracted the
greatest personalities of the day, from world leaders to movie stars, who
sipped champagne at festive black-tie soirees and strolled along graceful
promenades attired in their finest apparel. It was the quintessence of
luxury travel, and getting there was truly half the fun.
Cunard continues this celebration of style with Queen
Mary 2 and Queen Victoria - proving once again, with Cunard, the
journey may be even more magnificent that the destination.
Cunard's liners attract those who love the sea and
relish traditional elegance. The clientele includes World Cruise guests,
who are typically well-traveled and have the leisure to indulge in
season-long sojourns to exotic realms aboard Queen Victoria.
Transatlantic crossings on Queen Mary 2 attract a wide range of guests who
may repeat the experience every year, or sail only once on this legendary
voyage. More than half of Cunard's guests reside outside North America,
particularly in Britain and Europe.
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 a golden era:
Cunard Line. Proudly
continuing the tradition of luxury cruising that began in 1840, Queen Mary
2 debuted in 2004 as the new flagship of The Most Famous Ocean Liners in
the Worlds. As the tallest, longest, largest and most
expensive cruise ship ever built, QM2 provides her guests with
unprecedented amenities and accommodations at every turn. Maintaining the
tradition of her Cunard and White Star Line predecessors, QM2 is the only
ship offering regularly scheduled transatlantic service.
