Cunard Queen Mary 2 Schedule 2013 -2014 Transatlantic Crossings and Cruises

It's the rare travel experience where the journey itself is the main attraction.  But then, few vacations are the Transatlantic Crossing with Cunard Line on the world famous Queen Mary 2 or QM2 - and Cunard aficionados know never to refer to this Cunard ocean liner as Queen Mary II. Your Cunard Transatlantic cruise between New York and Southampton will be full of history and romance.  On select sailings, you may even begin or end your voyage in Hamburg, Germany or Cherbourg, France. And your Cruise Holidays Chicago certified Cunard Commodore experts will help you plan your perfect vacation.  

Travellers have been crossing the Atlantic Ocean for centuries.  In times gone by, the rich and famous of their age packed their trunks and boarded a Cunard ocean liner, bound for a week of adventure, dancing, fine dining and stimulating conversation.

The experience remains much the same today, although of course today's Cunarders offer all the modern amenities you would expect on a luxury ocean liner.  Cunard's grandest ship, Queen Mary 2, was specifically designed as an ocean liner, not a cruise ship, so she can cross the Atlantic Ocean in the utmost comfort. 

Don't like to fly?  Queen Mary 2 allows you to visit your family in Europe or explore those places you've always wanted to see without any international flights!  You can combine two Transatlantic Crossings and even a Mediterranean or Northern Europe sailing for a truly civilized way of exploring Europe. Just ask us for details or view our "Europe without Flying" page.

Just imagine: seven or eight wonderful days and nights filled with as much or as little activity as you like: the grand balls, the enrichment lectures, superb cuisine, traditional English afternoon tea, the Planetarium, plays and acting workshops by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA), Queen Mary 2's Canyon Ranch Spa Club, an excellent health club and the company of an interesting mix of international guests.  You can do it all, or nothing if you prefer. 

Wondering what you can do on your Transatlantic cruise?  Watch the video about daytime activities and Cunard Insights or this video about Cunard Entertainment.  At night, enjoy one of the Royal Nights Themed Balls (video). The best part of a Transatlantic Crossing? The luxury of planning seven or more glorious days completely according to your schedule.

2013 - 2014 Cunard Transatlantic Cruise Fares and Promotions

A Cunard QM2 Transatlantic Crossing can be remarkably affordable if you book with Cruise Holidays Chicago. Scroll down to see 2013 or 2014 Queen Mary 2 sail dates and starting fares, or check our Current Cunard Offers: our fares are never higher, and often lower, than when you book directly with Cunard. 

In addition, on most 2013 and 2014 sailings we offer up to $300 shipboard credit per stateroom, to spend as you please on Queen Mary 2, and other extras like bottles of wine or Cunard souvenirs. 
Of course, fares and availability change constantly, so please call us to find the most suitable option. 

Eastbound Crossings - New York to Southampton

Depart from New York and sail past the Statue of Liberty before saying goodbye to the Americas en route to Southampton, England.  Enjoy seven or even eight wonderful days and nights at sea before you arrive in the "Old World".  You can of course fly straight home (we'll help you with your one way airfare if you like), but why not spend a few days in London, visit Bath, Windsor or Stonehenge? Or add a trip to the European mainland, by plane or by Eurostar "Chunnel" train.  Our Europe experts will gladly help you plan trips to Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, or any other destination. 

Another option: combine your Eastbound Crossing with a European cruise, or sail back on a Westbound crossing.  We are certain you'll agree that your Cunard experience is a much more civilized way to cross the Atlantic than your average Transatlantic flight.

Westbound Crossings - Southampton to New York

Enjoy Great Britain or Europe before you board Queen Mary 2 in Southampton.  Of course we'll arrange your transfers from beautiful London to the ship.  Then, enjoy seven days and nights at your own pace en route to the New World.  One advantage of a Westbound crossing: you gain an hour each day to offset the time difference between England and New York: more time to relish on your traditional Transatlantic cruise on the QM2!
