For over 180 years, Cunard® has provided the benchmark for luxury travel at sea. From award-winning World Voyages to iconic Queen Mary 2® Transatlantic Crossings between New York and Southampton, every journey on one of Cunard’s famous, red-funneled ships is an occasion to remember. With itineraries that explore Alaska, Canada, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and plenty more far-flung destinations, there’s no doubt your clients will find a vacation to suit them. But what exactly is that ‘je ne sais quoi’ that makes a Cunard voyage unlike any other?

Unique Cunard Touches

Cunard is renowned for extraordinary hospitality with attention paid to every detail. It’s called White Star Service™, and it’s a key part of what makes guests return time and time again. With more space per guest than other ships of a similar size, and staff that remember everything from your name to your favorite tipple, your clients can rest assured that they’ll be catered for in utmost comfort on board. It’s that signature Cunard touch that goes above and beyond expectations to make everyone feel like royalty.

During the day, guests can get up close and personal with inspiring speakers from around the world, thanks to the exclusive Cunard Insights enrichment program. Then, after an enlightening morning, perhaps they’ll retire to the sweeping grandeur of the Queens Room, for a signature Cunard Afternoon Tea. Served by white-gloved waiters, the pageantry and delicious patisseries of this afternoon treat are an iconic Cunard favorite.

As evening falls, guests have the opportunity to dress up or dress down as they choose. Once every few days the ship plays host to another uniquely Cunard experience: Gala Evenings. Those who’d like to can don their favorite eveningwear and dine and dance in style on these magical nights. Whether harking back to the glamorous era of the Roaring 20s or embracing the timeless elegance of a classic Black and White ball, the theme of these evenings can be seen throughout the ship. More casual dining settings are also an option, should your clients not feel like dressing up on a Gala Evening.

Cunard’s Queens

Cunard guests have a choice of four magnificent Queens to sail on, with brand new ship Queen Anne® joining the fleet in 2024. While she redefines modern luxury with her sleek art deco-inspired interiors and larger than ever choice of alternative dining, every Cunard Queen has a personality of their own that makes them a remarkable setting from which to explore the world.

As the world’s only true ocean liner, Queen Mary 2 is a ship like no other, built to cut through the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. On board, guests can take advantage of Illuminations, her full-scale planetarium, or curl up with a book in one of the largest libraries at sea. Queen Elizabeth® and Queen Victoria® provide a more intimate experience for guests who prefer a smaller ship, with all the signature Cunard comforts. Their plush interiors are airy and elegant - perfect for both experienced travelers and those who are new to cruising. With gleaming chandeliers, marble flooring, and luxuriously appointed lounges, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria effortlessly evoke the heyday of Hollywood glamour.

Destinations

Guests can look forward to seeing all four corners of the world with Cunard. As well as offering their Transatlantic Crossing from New York to Southampton and back, the Cunard Queens follow a host of other iconic sailing routes.

Perhaps your clients want to venture to the untamed wilds of Alaska, or explore the coastal charms of Canada and New England? Guests can take in azure Australian seas, bustling Asian cities, or the rich history of the Mediterranean from the decks of a Cunard Queen. With itineraries that take in every corner of Europe, from the regal scenery of Iceland, Scandinavia, and Britain to the year-round warmth of Iberia and the Atlantic Coast, wherever your guests wish to sail, they can do so in absolute comfort with Cunard.
