Queen Mary 2, Cunard Cruise Line
2,620 Guests
Sails from New York, NY, USA

 

 
 

Overview
The Greatest Ocean Liner of Our Time.
Q
ueen Mary 2 has been awarded a maritime Oscar from Berlitz in their 2005 guide to Ocean Cruising & Cruise Ships. The famous liner’s Queens and Princess grill accommodations were awarded five stars – ranking Queen Mary 2 seventh out of more than 260 ships – and besting the luxury vessels of Silversea, Crystal and Radisson Seven Seas.

Classic Cunard hallmarks weave throughout Queen Mary 2: sweeping staircases, soaring public rooms, a grand ballroom, a 360° promenade deck. With one staff member per couple, Cunard's renowned White Star ServiceSM is also assured.

The most anticipated ocean liner in the world also comes with an unprecedented cache of luxuries and innovations. Three-quarters of her staterooms have balconies. Lavish two-story duplexes even have their own private exercise equipment. Exciting restaurants like Todd English and Cunard's renowned Grills create the premier dining experience at sea.

A space ratio of 57.25 makes her one of the roomiest vessels anywhere. Even that can't prepare you for the endless possibilities which occupy all this space - 14 decks of sports facilities, shops, bars, lounges, 5 pools and no fewer than 10 restaurants, a largesse which allows you the freedom to experience your own preferences and passions. Rejuvenate at the celebrated Canyon Ranch SpaClub®. Or how about the classic British deck game of quoits?

Try something novel. Learn something new! Cunard ConneXionsSM is almost like a college at sea, taking into account, of course, that you're on vacation. Or take a virtual ride into space at IlluminationsSM, the only planetarium afloat.


 

Venue
With a passenger capacity of 2,620, QM2's sheer size allows the creation of a variety of passenger spaces. This in turn allows for a world of diversity. Athletes will find one of the best-equipped playing fields anywhere. Sybarites can enjoy the rejuvenating treatments of the world-renowned Canyon Ranch SpaClub®. If you're into health and fitness, there's a state-of-the-art gym including a separate weight room. Or how about a visit to the planetarium? A wine tasting seminar? Or a walk down history lane at the Maritime Quest Exhibit? QM2's is a veritable City at SeaSM , with everything from virtual reality golf, a basketball court to a book shop.

When the stars come out, she shines even brighter. Beaded gowns. Black ties and tails. Champagne and caviar. QM2 plays host to the most elegant soirees of the season - in any season. Dancers sweep across the largest ballroom at sea. Hors d'oeuvres are served in Sir Samuel's wine bar, jazz in the Commodore Club, West End-caliber shows in the Royal Court Theatre. Spin over to the casino with its tuxedoed croupiers. Head down to the G32 disco, or retire to the Chart Room where a cabaret singer croons Some Enchanted Evening …which, you'll discover, occurs nightly aboard QM2.
