Acknowledge Greatness with Magnificence
As the ultimate form of corporate inspiration, Queen Mary 2 has no equal. The most magnificent ocean liner ever built is a virtual floating palace of extraordinary spaces. Swept up in her elegant world, your group can enjoy some of the most memorable – and exhilarating – moments of their lives. Queen Mary 2 comes with a cache of amenities that is equally unprecedented: cuisine by the most famous chefs in the world; a choice of 10 restaurants and 14 bars; a Planetarium with virtual reality rides; a cultural academy; theater performances by actors from London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art; the only Canyon Ranch SpaClub®; at sea... to mention a few.
But Queen Mary 2 was also designed with meetings in mind. Her wide range conference facilities accommodates from a high-level conference for 12 to a convention for 1,000. State-of-the-art equipment can host the most sophisticated presentations. Advanced WiFi internet access in most public rooms mean business can be conducted anywhere on the ship.
The Best Reward - When Nothing But the Best Will Do
For over 165 years, Cunard's famous fleet of floating palaces have reigned the seas, representing the pinnacle of maritime achievement and the quintessence of sophisticated travel. Queen Mary 2 is carrying this heritage into the 21st century, along with a cache of luxuries and innovations that are unparalleled.
Your Best Resort For Your Best Acheivers
A voyage is the ultimate incentive. Your top achievers will enjoy both the excitement of travel and the thrill of being surrounded by every luxury and privilege imaginable aboard the greatest ocean liner of our time.
Cocktail parties, award ceremonies and other group events will create a sense of cohesiveness and help promote team spirit. It’s a great way to bring colleagues closer together, yet they still have time to themselves. They can unwind at the famous Canyon Ranch SpaClub, dance across the largest ballroom afloat, watch a play by actors from the renowned Royal Academy of Dramatic Art or dine on tuna tartare at Todd English (one of 10 superb restaurants on board).
Some of the world’s most celebrated names are featured aboard Queen Mary 2. Your top achievers will drink from Waterford glasses, eat from Wedgwood china and sleep on Simmons BeautyRest® mattresses. They can shop at premium designer boutiques, snack on caviar at the Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bar and enjoy a thalassotherapy treatment at the Canyon Ranch SpaClub®.
The Dollars Make Sense
A voyage with Cunard is all-inclusive. Meals, entertainment, 24-hour room service, coffee breaks, airfare and taxes - all those hidden expenses that can add up to so much are already built into the fare. That makes it easier to keep expenses in control - and to plan. One call does it all.
One-Stop Shopping
Scheduling and planning a land vacation can be complicated and time-consuming. At Cunard, one call and our corporate and incentive staff can execute the most complex programme from planning the actual voyage itself – menus, shore excursions, special events, etc. – to air transportation, transfers, pre- and post-voyage hotel stays or land programmes.
You don’t have to go overboard on your budget, either. There are plenty of options to contain costs such as the length of the voyage (as few as 3 days) and the choice of stateroom categories (32 in all).
The Best Value in the Land on the Water
A voyage with Cunard is a far better value than a land-locked vacation, because everything is included: accommodations, port charges, taxes, meals, 24-hour room service, entertainment, activities. What about coffee breaks? No charge. A catered luncheon? No charge.

A State-of-the-Art Conference Center
Queen Mary 2 is your best resort for meeting success featuring the most advanced facilities and multi-media capabilities available.
Having a meeting on board the magnificent Queen Mary 2 has its advantages - it’s surrounded by water, which means a minimum of interruptions or distractions. Meeting and event planners can take advantage of over 10,000 square feet of classrooms, lecture halls and auditoriums equipped with state-of-the-art amenities. It’s the most secure venue, too. If you want to keep a pending product launch confidential, there simply isn’t a more private venue than aboard a ship.

Think Big - Even if your group is small.
Nothing is more impressive than a full ship charter. But if your group doesn't happen to number in the thousands, Queen Mary 2 offers an alternative that can pack an equally powerful punch - charter a restaurant!
Full Restaurant Charters
How can a small group charter a 2,620-guest ship? Charter a restaurant! Queen Mary 2's main dining rooms with their corresponding staterooms can be booked for private parties from 180 to 800. So your group will not only work together and play together, but dine together, too. Imagine, night after night of gala banquets with customised menus, entertainment and special décor. Day after day of meetings and seminars in a virtual floating conference centre with some of the most sophisticated facilities at sea.
Choose Their Level of Accommodation
Nearly 80% of Queen Mary 2's staterooms have ocean views and over 94% of these have spacious private balconies. Choices range from the merely commodious to the shameless extravagant. Depending upon category selected, guests dine in one of three main dining rooms or can choose from seven alternative restaurants.
Queens Grill & Accommodations – 192 guests
Queens Grill all-balcony suites and duplexes are unrivalled at sea featuring both a concierge and butler service and the ultimate in amenities. Guests dine in the renowned Queens Grill. There’s also a Queens Grill Lounge and a Queens Grill Terrace, both reserved exclusively for the use of Queens Grill guests.
Princess Grill & Accommodations – 152 guests
Guests in the all-balcony Princess Suites enjoy dining in the intimate Princess Grill. These luxury accommodations include large balconies and concierge service.
Introducing Britannia Club* – 96 guests
Beginning April 2007, this accommodation category marries top-of-ship Britannia Club staterooms with dining in a new, private salon. This intimate single-seating dining room offers special a la carte selections in addition to the succulent Britannia Restaurant menu, with personlised White Star Service.
Britannia Restaurant (Upper) & Accommodations – 546 guests
Britannia Restaurant (Lower) & Accommodations – 654 guests
Guests in categories A1 – D8 dine in Queen Mary 2's magnificent Britannia Restaurant, a two-tiered dining salon that soars three stories to a luminous, overhead light well.
Full-Ship Charter
For large groups, nothing is more impressive than a fully chartered ship. It’s the ultimate in privacy and exclusivity. Since you “own” the ship, virtually every aspect of the cruise can be customized for your group from the entertainment and activities to the menus. You can decide the itinerary, the shore excursions, arrange exclusive transportation and even pre- or post-voyage hotel or land programmes. Print up daily activity sheets, fly your corporate flag, hold a golf tournament. You name it. You’re in command.
The Cunard Experience
There are numerous restaurants aboard Queen Mary 2 – three main dining rooms and seven alternative venues – for every day of the week! Your clients’ top achievers can savour epicurean delicacies in Cunard’s award-winning Grills, enjoy breakfast or luncheon buffets at Kings Court, or try one of its four distinctive restaurants for dinner: the Asian-style Lotus, La Piazza for Italian, carved meats in The Carvery, and Chef’s Galley, the unique interactive open-kitchen experience.
But while the menus may vary, the service does not. Crew members trained at Cunard’s elite White Star Academy attend to every detail. The long British traditions of Cunard’s White Star Service sets the standard by which all others are judged.
In the grand tradition of cruising, each level of accommodation is paired with a reserved table in the magnificent three-story Britannia Restaurant or one of Cunard’s famous Grills. Regardless of which level you choose, all staterooms flaunt such cutting-edge amenities as interactive TVs and data port outlets with most offering ocean views and private balconies; stewards provide a continuous bounty of plump towels and Canyon Ranch toiletries, while Cunard’s exclusive Pillow Concierge offers up to nine pillow-types for their sleeping comfort.
For your highest achievers, Queen Mary 2's Queens Grill accommodations range from the utterly luxurious to the shamelessly extravagant – the Grand Duplex measures an extraordinary 2,249 square feet! But while the categories may vary, Cunard’s White Star Service does not. There isn’t a resort anywhere that can lavish your top achievers with so much personal attention, from breakfast in bed to room service 24 hours a day – even butler service in the highest categories.
