The legendary crossing of the Atlantic Ocean will be offered 20 times in 2006 by the only ocean liner sailing the route, the giant Queen Mary 2.
The transatlantic journey – one of history’s most coveted travel experiences – is featured in Cunard’s new 2006 brochure for Australia.
The glossy 67-page program profiles a total of 56 cruises from 5-109 nights aboard the world’s most famous liners, Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2. Cunard’s 2006 calendar will see QM2 and QE2 offer a 76 per cent increase in capacity in the Mediterranean in 2006.
The royal duo offer a return to the golden age of ocean travel, with nostalgic passengers enjoying languid days at sea indulging in the ultimate luxury – time – where the journey becomes the destination.
“A Cunard voyage is no ordinary cruise,” said Cunard Line Australia’s Managing Director Gavin Smith. “It’s a unique and memorable experience where we treat our passengers like royalty as they experience the opulence and romance of a bygone era,” Mr Smith said.
“Cunard’s big new 2006 program will appeal to Australians seeking to savour the glamour of a grand ocean voyage on two of the grandest ocean liners ever built.
Launched last year as the world’s biggest liner, the 151,400-ton QM2 is the only cruise ship offering regular transatlantic services between New York and Southampton.
Fares on QM2’s six-night transatlantic crossings start at A$1379 per person twin share while a seven-night Scandinavian cruise on QE2 is priced from A$1709 per person twin share. Fares include all main meals and entertainment. Hotel and air packages are also available. For a copy of Cunard’s 2006 brochure, see a travel agent, call 1300 725 417 or visit www.cunardline.com.au.
