From Southampton to Southampton
Queen Mary 2 is Cunard’s most magnificent ocean liner and the flagship of the fleet.
Modern features combined with traditional and elegant décor
reminiscent of the golden age of cruising helps create an
unforgettable journey particularly when sailing past the Statue of
Liberty into New York. We particularly like the excellent Queens
Grill accommodation which offers additional space and access to the
exclusive Queens Grill restaurant, along with dedicated lounges and
deck areas.
Southampton is the UK's leading port. Bustling modern cruise terminals, as well as wharfs and commercial harbours, line the waterfront, whilst the city itself is a fascinating mix of ancient and modern, with a picturesque old town, the original city walls still standing, and super-modern shopping centres and office complexes. On all corners you will see tributes to the city's rich history and maritime heritage. Henry V marched his troops through the Westgate on his way to the battle of Agincourt, The Mayflower sailed from here with a cargo of settlers to the New World, and the Titanic started her fateful voyage here.
Zeebrugge’s main attraction is its proximity to Bruges. This beautifully preserved old town is a magical maze of winding cobbled lanes, narrow canals and gorgeous gabled houses, and it’s no wonder so many visitors throng the streets in summer.
Known locally as ‘the gateway to the world’, the port of Hamburg has a rich maritime history. Of course the city has its seedy side, as characterised by the old red light district around the Reeperbahn, but it’s also a vibrant, progressive city with some excellent museums, galleries and theatres.
