It’s about that time of year when people really begin to plan and go on their summer holidays. What better time to take a cruise? And frankly, if you’re going to take a cruise, you should go luxury all the way, right?
If you like to plan ahead, you should know that Cunard has just posted its upcoming voyages for 2010-2011. Cunard is the operating company of such famous luxury liners as the Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth. Just the names alone suggest pampering to the highest degree!
The Queen Elizabeth is the newest member of the Cunard line, making it the premier company with three Queens in its fleet. To accompany the inauguration of the newest Queen, Cunard has launched several new programmes for Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria, including new routes to and from Europe, the Americas and other transatlantic cruises.
In 2010, Queen Mary 2 will make 21 transatlantic crossings during the season. Ports will include Southampton, New York, Cherbourg and Hamburg. For those who have never been on a lengthy cruise, you might be surprised at how much there is to do on board. First, you can eat to your heart’s content 24 hours a day, take side excursions into various ports to sample local culture, enjoy dancing in the Queen’s room, peruse and of the library’s 8,000 books, or (and I’ve saved the best for last) spend time inside the world’s only floating planetarium. Prices start at just under USD$1,300 for 6 days, an absolute steal!
