Cunard Line

From European Cruise Guide

ABOVE: The Queen Mary 2 passes Liberty Island in New York Harbor.

Cunard 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. Cunard's newest ship, the Queen Victoria, entered service in December, 2007.

QM2: In 2009, the Queen Mary 2 offers transatlantic crossings between mid-April and mid-November, mostly between New York and Southampton. A handful of other transatlantic destinations and European cruises are on the QM2's 2009 schedule, including two eight-day voyages between New York and Hamburg, an eight-day voyage from Boston via New York to Southampton, and a nine-day crossing from Southampton to New York, Halifax, and Boston. 

Queen Victoria: The Queen Victoria will mostly cruise in the Mediterranean from spring through fall, with a few itineraries in Northern Europe. One of the more interesting voyages for British travelers is a 24-day roundtrip cruise from Southampton with port calls in New York, several New England states, and Canada.
