Contemporary restaurants, elegant staterooms and unique onboard entertainment make Queen Mary 2 one of Cunard’s most popular ships. As the company’s flagship, Queen Mary 2 embodies everything that Cunard stands for. It is the ultimate in luxury cruising, and offers unforgettable holidays all over the world, from New York to Cape Town, for 2,691 passengers.

Your stateroom

Feel the gentle sea breeze drift by as you relax on the balcony of your luxurious stateroom. The spectacular ocean views are guaranteed to help you get into the holiday spirit, and make for the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee and pastry. As many frequent cruisers will tell you, one of the best parts of cruising is sampling everything the ship has to offer. Queen Mary 2 has a range of exquisite staterooms and suites, all designed to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Plan your adventure, reminisce on the day’s adventures or get some well-deserved sleep ahead of your next port of call.

Depending on which cabin you book during your cruise aboard Queen Mary 2, you will also have a designated dining room – Queens Grill, Princess Grill or the main Britannia dining room. So, if you’re looking for the ultimate luxury experience, you can opt for the ship’s most expensive Queens Grill cabins, which come with a personal butler, or, if you simply want to dial up the exclusivity without splashing out, you can opt for the Britannia Balcony Club, which has access to the Britannia Club Restaurant.

Fine dining

As we mentioned earlier, the restaurants will be assigned to you based on which cabins you opt for, allowing you to bond with travellers in your quarters. At the top end, the Queens Grill and Princess Grill restaurants have their own lounge, extensive menus and ample seating for couples. Here, you can indulge in the ultimate fine dining experience. In the Britannia dining room, guests have a wealth of choice when it comes to the menu, including dishes such as roast duck L’Orange or Chateaubriand steak with larded peas and gratin dauphinoise potatoes. Speciality restaurants on board Queen Mary 2 include The Verandah, offering contemporary French cuisine, and Kings Court, which allows passengers to enjoy international cuisines. For those seeking extravagance, there is also a champagne bar, and the exclusive Commodore Club, which are open to all guests.

Onboard activities

Discover the night sky in Queen Mary 2’s onboard planetarium, party the night away on the largest dance floor at sea, or lose yourself during a film at the ship’s luxury 3D cinema. There are tonnes of things to do aboard this lavish ship, so whether you’re waiting for your next stop or enjoying a relaxing transatlantic crossing, you certainly won’t be bored. For a spot of retail therapy, Queen Mary 2 has plenty of boutique shops selling designer jewellery and clothes. Alternatively, you can unwind to the sound of exquisite classical music in an elegant venue. There’s plenty available for the kids, too, from the Play Zone, complete with arts, crafts and games, to the Teen Zone, with deck sports, discos and games consoles. So if you want to kick back and enjoy some wine tasting, or a lazy day by the pool, Cunard has got you covered.
