Queen cruising to new destination: Holy Land
Cunard Line, perhaps best known for its “White Star Service,” announced its most extensive range of voyages in the company’s 170-year history.
The line’s flagship, Queen Mary 2, will continue to offer extended Atlantic crossings between New York and Southampton, as well as to Hamburg; Queen Victoria will journey across the Atlantic for a second Americas season in early 2012; and new to the voyage schedule will be visits to the Holy Land aboard both Queen Victoria and the new Queen Elizabeth.
“With the addition of Queen Elizabeth, we can now offer guests even more legendary voyage options, featuring the signature Cunard ocean travel experience,” said Peter Shanke, Cunard’s president.
Queen Mary 2 plans 21 transatlantic crossings next year, with most voyages seven-days between New York and England. Eight- and nine-day extended crossings between New York and Hamburg also will be available.
In addition, “Grand” voyage options are available, roundtrip from New York, combining classic European itineraries with a crossing on either side.
On board activities include lectures and special programs such as star-gazing in what Cunard calls “the only planetarium at sea” and themed balls. The ships with 8,000 volumes are said to have the largest at sea library anywhere.
Fares start at $1,296 for a six-day Transatlantic Crossing. Special trips such as a Fourth of July Getaway are priced at $1,345 for five days.
