The legacy of Cunard… It was a more civilized era, the Golden Age of Ocean Travel. Crossing the ocean was a grand event unto itself, the very embodiment of sophistication and privilege. And traveling Cunard was what one naturally chose for such a voyage. Cunard’s glorious ocean liners were floating palaces of art deco splendor and Edwardian excess, surrounding guests with every comfort and elegance. They attracted the greatest personalities of the day, from world leaders to movie stars, who sipped champagne at festive black-tie soirees and strolled along graceful promenades attired in their finest apparel. It was the quintessence of luxury travel, and getting there was truly half the fun. Cunard continues this celebration of style with Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2 – and will proudly expand this heritage with Queen Victoria scheduled to enter service in December 2007 – proving once again that, with Cunard, the journey may be even more magnificent that the destination.

Ships of Cunard

• Queen Elizabeth – Relive in modern glamour high society events of the 1930s and 1940s as you grace ornate rooms whose rich decor recalls the halcyon days when our first Queen Elizabeth ruled the waves. Your entrance into this graceful realm is dramatic indeed, as you encounter the curved staircases, geometric patterns and spectacular artwork of the soaring Grand Lobby. Overlooking its stately grandeur is the two-tier Library, a calm haven of warm wood tones bathed in natural reading light and crowned with a fabulous leaded glass ceiling.
• Queen Mary 2 – Queen Mary 2 is the most magnificent ocean liner ever built. Her every detail harkens to the Golden Age of Ocean Travel, while providing one of the most modern cruise experiences on earth. From bow to stern, discover 14 spacious decks on which to relax and unwind; to indulge in pleasures and pursuits you never normally have time for. Opulent public areas, extravagant dining rooms, ballrooms, theatres, lounges…even the only Planetarium at sea. It is only in a world like this that modern fairy tales at sea are possible – where ordinary travellers can feel like royalty for a week or two. But words can only do such a lady so much justice, for to truly revel in the grandeur that is Queen Mary 2, you must sail with her.
• Queen Victoria – With the launch of Queen Victoria, three Queens will sail together under the Cunard banner for the first time in our history. To set eyes on her sleek outline, with her distinctive black and red livery, is to recognize her instantly as the latest classic Cunarder, a unique marriage of heritage and innovation. Warmly reminiscent of a more gracious era, modern technology combines seamlessly with her classic yet contemporary interior. Elegant and stylish, every public room will create a unique ambiance where our renowned White Star Service™ will continue to surpass expectations. Take your place in history and be among the first to experience the unveiling of this Classic Cunarder on one of her Maiden Voyages in December 2007.
