Cunard Cruises
The Cunard cruise ship line has mastered the art of crossing oceans and traveling, not just getting from point A to point B. They are the masters of sophisticated ocean traveling, with their British heritage making their iconic ships and brand one of the most heralded. Guests cross oceans in unparalleled style, with champagne toasts, dances in grand ballrooms, and feasts in the dining rooms. With white-glove service and a sophisticated atmosphere, there is no more quintessentially British cruise line.
With their famous Transatlantic crossing, passengers above the Queen Mary 2 leave New York and arrive in Southampton, England. While aboard, they are able to relax in the famous Canyon Ranch Spa Club, read their way through the largest at-sea library, attend stunning balls such as Royal Nights, and of course, there’s no way to forget traditional afternoon tea in the Queen’s Room. Enrichment programs on the Queen Mary 2 give guest the opportunity to greatly enhance their own knowledge of hobbies and interests. Museum curators give lectures on Renaissance art, and thespians can indulge onstage with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Workshops on oceanography allows guests to learn about what is going on underneath them, or soar high above into the stars in the planetarium.
In the Mediterranean, voyagers can visit such ports of call as Sardinia, Athens, Barcelona, Seville, Cannes, Istanbul, Lisbon, Corfu, Mykonos, Santorini, Venice, Rome, and many more. Shore excursions can include a guided tour of Gibraltar, dolphin watching, cruising along the Nile river, walking through eucalyptus trees and fig groves in Corfu, seeing the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio of Florence.
In the Caribbean, see islands such as Bermuda, St. Kitts, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Thomas, Bonaire, Aruba, and St. Maarten. See the ivory sands and aquamarine seas of Tortola, or explore the lush rainforest and pristine lakes of Costa Rica. The frothing Trafalgar Falls awaits in Dominica, and for fishermen, Manzanillo is full of over 70 species of game fish. In Bonaire, angelfish swim along coral reefs and flamingos stand in sandy lagoons.
In Northern Europe, the Cunard cruise lines take passengers along tree-lined canals and amazing museums in Amsterdam. In Germany, sample the famous beers and view the quaint architecture of the town halls and cathedrals. Northern Ireland offers folk music and lush green countryside, while Han Christian Anderson’s Copenhagen offers palaces and gardens. And La Rochelle, France, offers the contrast of ancient fortresses and modern yachts, arched streets and terraced cafes.
Cunard takes guests up into the Baltic Sea, where the fjords of Norway and palaces of St. Petersburg make this mythic, legendary, and beautiful section of the world will captivate and enchant.
No matter where your destination, Cunard Cruises are the best way to merge British sophistication with opulence and luxury. Passengers will be hard pressed to find another cruise line that combines so much attention to detail with shore excursions and cultural experience unlike any other. A voyage on Cunard Cruise lines will make any other trip pale in comparison.
