The Queen Mary 2, Cunard Line’s legendary flagship, is a majestic ocean liner that primarily sails out of its iconic homeports in Southampton, England, and Brooklyn, New York. Renowned for its classic Transatlantic Crossings between the US and Europe, the vessel also embarks on spectacular full World Voyages, sweeping Caribbean island escapes, and scenic summer cruises through the Norwegian Fjords. Onboard, passengers are treated to a wealth of distinguished features that set the ship apart from traditional cruise vessels, including the world’s largest library at sea holding over 10,000 volumes, the Illuminations planetarium for immersive cosmic shows and lectures, and the expansive Queens Room ballroom, which hosts Cunard's signature white-gloved afternoon teas and grand evening galas. Additionally, it remains the only passenger ship in the world to offer dedicated onboard kennels, allowing guests to comfortably journey across the Atlantic alongside their beloved dogs and cats.
