Event Voyages

Docked in New York Harbour, on board Queen Mary 2 you'll have unrivalled views of what's sure to be a spectacle. Not only will this special event be the largest gathering of tall ships and naval vessels ever seen in the city, but a stunning military flyover will also fill the skies overhead. Settle into your favourite spot on deck, and watch as dazzling fireworks adorn the iconic Manhattan skyline in a breathtaking finale.

At Cunard, we have a deep-rooted connection to the United States and its rich maritime history. For over 185 years we've undertaken Transatlantic Crossings, and we're thrilled that Queen Mary 2, the world's only true ocean liner, will join this unforgettable moment in history, in 2026.

Enjoy exceptional dining throughout your voyage on Queen Mary 2. A Sail4th 250 commemorative menu in the main restaurants, an American-inspired twist on Afternoon Tea in the Queens Room, and themed culinary touches throughout the day in the King's Court.

A culinary celebration of the United States

Throughout your voyage, enrich your time at sea with a programme of engaging Cunard Insights led by expert speakers, and spectacular evening performances. For example listen to Jeff Skiles, first Officer on the Miracle on the Hudson, when he brings a riveting firsthand account to the stage, while maritime historian Bill Miller explores the legacy of Queen Mary 2 and the transatlantic crossing. Dr. Seth Gopin rounds out the programme with a series of talks on the history of America's Founding Fathers. Evenings feature classical crossover trio Vox Fortura and US comedian John Joseph.

Be a part of history on this unique voyage. Join us to celebrate the legendary Cunard story with a programme of immersive theatre and entertainment, as you make this iconic journey for yourself.
