CUNARD CRUISE LINE OVERVIEW:

Queen Elizabeth 2, Cunard's 1,791-passenger flagship, is widely recognized as the most famous ship in the world.  Whether sailing on an annual around-the-world journey or serving as a link between Britain and the Americas, she is truly an international icon.

For more than 60 years, a Cunard Queen has reigned on the high seas. This tradition has continued with the introduction of Queen Mary 2 (QM2). As the first true ocean liner to be built in over three decades, this extraordinary 150,000-ton Queen is amongst the longest, largest and widest vessels ever built. But despite her grand scale, QM2 carries a relatively small compliment of 2,620 passengers in an atmosphere echoing the glamour of the golden age of ocean travel. 

2008 will mark an exciting year on the Cunard calendar. For the first time in history, three Cunard Queens will be in service simultaneously and the newest, Queen Victoria. The 90,000-ton Queen Victoria will not only be a classic ocean liner, offering the very best of Cunard's heritage and traditions, along with all modern day luxuries, but will also feature many exciting innovations. These will include the first traditional West End-style private viewing boxes at sea in the Royal Court Theatre; the first floating Cunardia museum display, housing Cunard artifacts and memorabilia and the first two-story, 'spiral staircased' library at sea. The ship will also feature the line's celebrated luxury Grills accommodation and dining, further enhanced on Queen Victoria with exclusive deck terraces and an al fresco dining option.

Maintaining the heritage of her Cunard and White Star forbears, QM2 and QE2 are the only vessels afloat providing regular transatlantic service.   Cunard Line sails to destinations worldwide.
