THE GREATEST OCEAN LINER OF OUR TIME.
 

Classic Cunard hallmarks weave throughout Queen Mary 2: sweeping staircases, soaring public rooms, a grand ballroom, a 360° promenade deck. With one staff member per couple, Cunard's renowned White Star ServiceSM is also assured.

The most anticipated ocean liner in the world also comes with an unprecedented cache of luxuries and innovations. Three-quarters of her staterooms have balconies. Lavish two-story duplexes even have their own private exercise equipment. Exciting restaurants like Todd English and Cunard's renowned Grills create the premier dining experience at sea.

A space ratio of 57.25 makes her one of the roomiest vessels anywhere. Even that can't prepare you for the endless possibilities which occupy all this space - 14 decks of sports facilities, shops, bars, lounges, 5 pools and no fewer than 10 restaurants, a largesse which allows you the freedom to experience your own preferences and passions. Rejuvenate at the celebrated Canyon Ranch SpaClub®. Or how about the classic British deck game of quoits?

Try something novel. Learn something new! Cunard ConneXionsSM is almost like a college at sea, taking into account, of course, that you're on vacation. Or take a virtual ride into space at IlluminationsSM, the only planetarium afloat.

THE LARGEST, LONGEST, TALLEST, GREATEST, WIDEST, AND GRANDEST OCEAN LINER IN THE WORLD.
 

Canyon Ranch SpaClub® It is not surprising that the most luxurious ocean vessel ever built features a Canyon Ranch spa. This highly acclaimed health resort company has elevated the spa experience to an entirely new plane with life-changing programs from stress-relief classes to workshops on diet, healthy aging and disease prevention. 51 Canyon Ranch health and wellness experts work in QM2's 20,000 square foot facility which includes 24 treatment rooms, a thalassotherapy pool with deluge waterfall, a whirlpool, thermal suite with both herbal and Finnish saunas, reflexology basins and an aromatic steam room.

Illuminations Take a virtual ride into outer space, view the stars and other visual spectacles or take a course on celestial navigation in Illuminations, QM2's full-scale planetarium. It also functions as a grand cinema, a 500-seat lecture hall and even a broadcasting studio.

Cunard ConneXionsSM
QM2's cultural enrichment program includes seven classrooms and a 500-seat auditorium where you can attend workshops, seminars and lectures presenting a fusion of perspectives from the world's premier cultural hotspots: New York and London. Classes range from fashion to foreign languages, watercolor techniques to period furniture. Try film making. Join a discussion of British comedy, or compare MoMA and the Tate.

Culinary Advisor Daniel Boulud
Stunning French-American cuisine and dedication to quality have made Cunard's culinary advisor one of the most famous chefs in the world. He has been the recipient of numerous awards from Bon Appetit's "Chef of the Year" to Gourmet's "Top Tables." People often wait months for a reservation at Daniel, his famous New York City bistro, ranked Number One for "Top Food" by the 2005 Zagat Survey. Guests can enjoy his cuisine aboard QM2.

History & Art Worth a King's Ransom
Renowned international artists were commissioned to produce over 300 original works of art valued at over $5 million. For history buffs, the museum-quality Maritime Quest exhibit is a fascinating tour that takes you back to the golden era of transatlantic cruising.

Britannia Restaurant
Make the traditional grande descente in the stunning 3-story Britannia Restaurant, whose grand sweeping staircase creates a dramatic showcase for those wishing to make the ultimate entrance.

Personal Butler and Concierge Service
Concierges attend to guests in all of the Grill Accommodations, while the Queens Grill categories also feature private butler service.

Interactive TV
You can receive or send e-mails, choose from dozens of movies, review a seminar you might have missed or sign up for shore excursions - right from the comfort of your stateroom.

Internet Guests can surf the web, check e-mail or even transmit a video postcard to friends and family back home. They can take classes in the Computer Centre, or bring their own laptop; every stateroom has direct Internet access.

Play Zone/The Zone
QM2 was designed to accommodate all the ages. For guests who wish to take their children or grandchildren along, The Play Zone is like a well-run camp for children 2 - 7 years old. A separate facility, The Zone, provides hours of supervised entertainment and activities for children 8- 12 years old. The area includes the Minnows splash pool and real English nannies for the toddlers. And it's equipped with an array of toys and activities from board games to computer terminals with all kinds of learning adventures, so that while kids are doing their thing, adults have some quality time alone.

2005 Transatlantic Cruising Aboard the Queen Mary 2

Deck Plans
 
The tradition of crossing the Atlantic in the exquisite luxury of a grand ocean liner is buried deep within the soul of Cunard. When it was the only way to cross, time went by in a leisurely pace, with guests spending the week meeting and mingling, taking brisk walks or simply relaxing in steamer chairs. There were glittering galas and sociable teas, with socialites mingling with business tycoons, movie stars and royalty.
 
Today, the only truly luxurious way to cross the Atlantic is still aboard a Cunard liner, the Queen Mary 2
 
QM2 recreates an era when getting there really was half the fun. Delightful diversions fill the days and nights, letting you discover things you simply wouldn't have the time to otherwise enjoy. Each day brings something new and wonderful, with all the culture, entertainment and enrichment they could possibly desire within their reach. Here is just a sampling of what QM2 has to offer:
 
A Transatlantic Voyage gives you a chance to do all the things you don't have the time for at home.  PAMPER yourself in the Canyon Ranch SpaClub®.  SAMPLE cuisine by some of the world's most famous chefs. PURSUE special interests at QM2's very own cultural academy, with classes offered by the University of Oxford.  EXPLORE the stars in the world's only planetarium at sea.
