photoCunard Line is the last of the great transatlantic shipping companies, and its 2,620-passenger flagship--the Queen Mary 2--is the newest of Cunard's legendary ocean liners. The QM2, which entered service in 2004, is a worthy successor to the Queen Elizabeth 2, which plied the Southampton-New York route for more than three decades and is headed for retirement as a floating hotel in Dubai at the end of the 2008 season. Cunard's newest ship, the Queen Victoria, entered service in December, 2007.

photoQM2: In 2008, the Queen Mary 2 offers transatlantic crossings between mid-April and mid-November--mostly between New York and Southampton, but with some voyages including Cherbourg or Hamburg. A handful of roundtrip cruises to the Mediterranean from New York or Southampton are also on the QM2's 2008 schedule.

Queen Elizabeth 2: The QE2 has a number of European itineraries on its 2008 cruise schedule, ending with a final voyage from Southampton to Dubai from November 11-27, 2008.

photoQueen Victoria: The Queen Victoria will have a dozen cruises in the Eastern and Western Mediterranean during 2008. One lasts a fortnight; the other are 12 days in length.
