QM2 Sunset

What an amazing feeling when boarding a ship we have sailed on. The QM2 is no miraculous exception. Today, the first voyage segment SOTON to Cape Town is completed. This is part of the 2018 World Cruise Itinerary.

πŸ”§ Engineering Marvel

This is not your typical cruise ship. In fact, it is the last of the great oceanliners - passage ships designed for 12 months brutal Atlantic crossings NY to SO'TON.

"Her keel sits higher above the water line, 7 decks instead of 5, which makes it cut water better and makes for a smoother ride."

Built for the unforgiving North Atlantic, the Queen Mary 2 represents the pinnacle of ocean liner engineering - where form follows function in the most spectacular way possible.

Dogs Welcome Aboard!

The QM2 allows dogs onboard - cute! Even our four-legged friends can experience the grandeur of ocean liner travel. It's these thoughtful touches that separate a true ocean liner from ordinary cruise ships.

✈️ Travel Philosophy

Airplanes, after all, are like diets - I don't like being on them.

Why rush through the sky when you can savor the journey across the sea? The Queen Mary 2 proves that how you travel is just as important as where you're going.
