Christened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2004, the Queen Mary 2 retook her place as the proud flagship of Cunard’s fleet after a total refurbishment in 2016. Although she has 14 passenger decks and measures 1132 ft, Cunard pride themselves on the small details aboard the QM2 for a truly regal cruising experience.
Technically classed as an ocean liner, Queen Mary 2 harks back to the golden age of cruising and ocean travel. This is not only celebrated in her grand décor and furnishings, but also in her iconic transatlantic voyages between Southampton and New York, and her annual world cruise.
Cunard celebrate the traditions of British cruising with separate dining for guests depending on their accommodation class and quintessential Afternoon Tea. In Britannia class on Queen Mary 2, luxury is as standard while in Grills, you can expect only the best Cunard has to offer in your intimate restaurant and exclusive deck and lounge.
Alternative dining options onboard the Queen Mary 2 include The Verandah restaurant for high class French cuisine and the Golden Lion pub and Lido buffet for some cosy home comforts in a more relaxed setting. In addition, when the urge takes you, simply order to your room and enjoy a meal on the balcony, meaning you’ll never have to worry about going hungry.
On those long days at sea while traversing the Atlantic Ocean, you can be rest assured you’ll always be entertained aboard QM2. Whatever mood you feel after dinner, there’s something for you in the evening. Enjoy a drink at the various bars whatever the occasion. Take in the Commodore Club’s live jazz, the Theatre shows or dance the night away in the Queen’s Ballroom or G32 Nightclub.
Other bars and lounges:Facilities on QM2 are outstanding, offering 14 bars, 10 restaurants, 8 whirlpools, fitness suites and more, there’s something for everyone to do during their cruise with Cunard:
As well as swimming pools and Jacuzzis to soak in, there are a number of spa treatments and massages you can book aboard Queen Mary 2. What better way to make your holiday even more luxurious than treating yourself to a professional massage or skin treatment.
The Queen Mary 2 dress code is elegantly formal. The quintessentially British cruise line combines traditional elegance with their incredible standards and the understated class of formal dress adds to the charm every night onboard. Ladies take your favourite cocktail dress, and in sunnier climates maxi dresses, while gentlemen break out your finest suits and favourite black tie attire.
If you’ve always dreamt of taking the most treasured member of your family on the cruise with you, QM2 is the ship for you as there are kennel facilities for your pets.
The ship , cruise, staff where brilliant . The organisation At Southampton and NY ports was faultless, Unfortunately taxis that did not arrive both inward and outward , And flights booked by Iglu waisted us a day of our break.
Everything was Excellent. My one criticism is the price of buying Drinks on board - They are far to expensive.
Recently returned from a Transatlantic voyage from Southampton to New York. From the word go the experience was fantastic. We were met from our cab by a porter who whisked away our luggage, then the check in process was smooth and expertly carried out. Lovely comfortable and well-equipped stateroom. All staff we encountered were courteous and helpful. Fantastic food and entertainment and we arrived on schedule even though we had a small diversion for a passenger to be airlifted to hospital. Disembarkation was smoothly carried out for a quick exit through immigration. Would absolutely recommend the service received by both Cunard and indeed the helpful staff at Iglu (especially Maggie who explained everything to me). We are already planning our next cruise with Iglu!
