About Cunard Line
Company Profile
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 crossings and the demand for this legendary crossing voyage is growing. Maintaining the tradition of her Cunard and White Star Line predecessors, Queen Mary 2 is the only luxury ocean liner ship offering regularly scheduled transatlantic service.
Cunard Line is one of the world's most recognised brand names in ocean travel with a classic British heritage and is part of Carnival Corporation and PLC.
In addition to Cunard, Carnival Corporation & PLC also includes Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Carnival Cruise Lines, Seabourn Cruise Line, P&O Cruises, AIDA Cruises, Costa Cruises and Ocean Village.
Together, these member lines share a commitment to quality and value, offering cruises that appeal to the widest range of lifestyles and budgets and sail to some of the world's most exciting destinations.
Queen Mary 2, affectionately known as QM2, was famous even before her first sailing and a worthy heir to Cunard’s rich legacy. As the flagship of the world’s most respected fleet of luxury ocean liners, you’ll delight in her accommodation and renowned restaurants, her breathtaking Grand Lobby and the amazing array of unsurpassed amenities she offers.
Queen Victoria, also known as QV, is a true Cunarder, — with all the regal, breathtaking splendour you would imagine from a luxury Cunard ocean liner, combined with an airy, contemporary ambience. As you embark, you'll encounter the dramatic three-tier Grand Lobby, whose magnificent staircase and eye-catching artwork offers an exceptional taste of life aboard this ship.
Autumn 2010 will further enhance Cunard’s illustrious reputation for exquisite ocean travel with the arrival of our newest luxury ocean liner, Queen Elizabeth or QE as she will be also be known as. Recalling the rich heritage of the first Cunarder to bear the name, her elegance both echoes that legendary age and enhances her luxurious modern allure.
