Cunard
If travel is meant to be savoured, then crossing the oceans should be a majestic experience, not merely a hop across the pond. For travellers of this persuasion, only one name evokes the pleasures of a golden era: Cunard Line.
Proudly continuing the tradition of luxury cruising that began in 1840, Queen Victoria was successfully launched in December 2007 and was named by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall in a spectacular ceremony in Southampton.
Queen Mary 2 continues her scheduled transatlantic service and the demand for this legendary crossing is growing. Maintaining the tradition of her Cunard and White Star Line predecessors, Queen Mary 2 is the only ship offering regularly scheduled transatlantic service.
Cunard Line is one of the world's most recognised brand names with a classic British heritage and is part of Carnival Corporation and PLC.
Europe
European countries welcoming more than 480million international visitors per year. It has a well preserved cultural heritage, open borders and the ability for visitors to immerse themselves into a variety of cultures and traditions.
Mediterranean
Discover lush idyllic islands, magnificent beaches, ancient historical sites and fascinating cultures in the Mediterranean where we can offer you cruises throughout the year, with many places providing year-round sunshine.
