Cunard Transatlantic Cruises

Replicate history with modern amenities onboard a Cunard transatlantic cruise. The luxury line sails across the vast ocean, from New York to England, on board the Queen Mary 2. Between seven to eight nights on the majestic body of water, as you take in Cunard’s decadent services, cruisers have the chance to explore everything there is to do in New York, Nova Scotia, and London.

The Ship

Travel Weekly named Queen Mary 2 the “Best Luxury Cruise Ship.” The vessel, which debuted in the early 2000s, offers a spacious feel and has been described as the “most elegant liner ever.”

Beyond the décor and atmosphere, Cunard creates a cruise experience like no other. As you spend your days at sea, enrichment lectures occur on board, the Royal Theater Academy of Dramatic Art performs, and spas and the planetarium present a selection of relaxation opportunities for all tastes.

Then, when night arrives, the Queen Mary 2 comes alive with even more activities. Explore the ship’s contained, vibrant nightlife through its theaters and bars, or dress up to dance at Cunard’s traditional Royal Ascot Ball.

For dining, each meal is a gourmet experience, with fresh ingredients composing delicious, healthy meals.

Land Tours

During a transatlantic cruise, Cunard makes three stops: Departing New York, arriving in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and, after leaving in the afternoon, sailing across the Atlantic to Southampton, England.

Each location offers bountiful opportunities to explore the culture:

New York: Stay two to five nights in the Big Apple before the cruise begins with a package deal. Hotel accommodations put you in the city’s most comfortable places to stay, while excursion options let you explore the vast metropolis by foot. Or, select a themed package geared toward shopping or art excursions. If you’d like to take your time, there’s always the CityPASS, which gives you access across New York to explore at your desired pace.

London: Up to eight nights in five-star motels give you the opportunity to explore all aspects of London and the surrounding communities of Winchester and Oxford. Through package deals, take a VIP tour of London’s Royal and historical landmarks, including Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London.

In each port, Cunard allows you to spend the day exploring through the following methods:
• Learning about the Titanic and Cunard’s connection to this ocean liner in Halifax
• Land and sea tours • Culinary explorations
• Walking to major landmarks, including across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, Stonehenge in England, or Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia.
• Bike tours
