Cunard Transatlantic Crossing

There are cruises, and then there is the crossing. Since 1840, Cunard has been threading the needle between New York and Southampton, carrying Charles Dickens on its inaugural voyage and, a century later, carrying an entire generation of troops aboard ships Winston Churchill credited with shortening World War II. The Queen Mary 2 — the world's last true ocean liner — continues that lineage in 1,132 feet of Art Deco splendor. Seven nights across the North Atlantic, through fifteen restaurants and bars, the only planetarium at sea, and the largest ballroom afloat. Suite guests travel with private dining rooms and dedicated butler service; the ship's kennels even offer a New York fire hydrant and a Liverpool lamppost for canine companions. This is not a leisure cruise — it is a rite of passage, unchanged in spirit since the age of steam.
