Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Cunard different from other luxury lines?
Cunard's heritage sets it apart — it's a tradition-steeped British line with nearly 200 years of history. The Queen Mary 2 is not a cruise ship but a true ocean liner built for the sustained North Atlantic crossing.
What is the Transatlantic crossing like on Queen Mary 2?
The 7-night New York to Southampton (or reverse) crossing is one of the great travel experiences — a vast ship, the open North Atlantic, formal dinners, a planetarium, lectures, and the thrill of arriving by sea. Utterly unique.
Is Cunard appropriate for younger travelers?
Cunard appeals primarily to mature, sophisticated travelers who appreciate tradition and formality. Younger travelers who enjoy black-tie evenings, ballroom dancing, and classical entertainment will love it — but it is not a party atmosphere.
