Cunard offers a world-renowned travel experience and is one of the oldest companies in the passenger shipping industry, established in 1840 by Samuel Cunard.
Often described as the epitome of traditional cruising, each liner provides its guests with a 'quintessentially British' experience although with all mod cons consistent with other liners. When Queen Elizabeth joined her sisters Queen Victoria, launched in 2007 and Queen Mary, launched in 2004, Cunard became the youngest fleet at sea.
Thirteen decks on-board Queen Mary 2 offer a staggering array of accommodation and facilities, with the ‘Grand Lobby’ reaching three decks high and boasting a sweeping staircase reminiscent of the 'golden age' of travel. Sister ships, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria boast opulent public areas and sumptuous accommodation over twelve decks. Whichever liner you choose , you'll enjoy some of the most elegant soirées at sea - black tie and tails are ‘de rigeur.’
Entertainment includes dramatic theatre productions in the West End-style Royal Court Theatres, grand balls, cocktail parties and ballroom dancing in the Queen's Room, to indulgent and pampering treatments in the fully-equipped spas. Delightful, quintessentially British, signatures adorn every voyage, from the white-gloved afternoon teas to an authentic pub offering real ales and hearty lunches. Younger guests (from one to seventeen years old) are also royally catered for, with an excellent range of activities to suit.
