Queen Mary 2

NOT JUST TO TRAVEL, TO BE TRANSPORTED. 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 Service™ is also assured. The most expensive ship 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 passenger space ratio of 57.25 sq. feet makes her one of the roomiest ships anywhere. Even that can't prepare you for the endless possibilities which occupy all this space - 14 decks of sports facilities, shops, bars, lounges, five pools and ten restaurants, which allows you the freedom to experience your own preferences and passions. Rejuvenate at the celebrated Canyon Ranch SpaClub. Watch a "drive-in" movie. Or how about the classic British deck game of quoits? Try something novel. Learn something new! Cunard ConneXions(sm) is almost like a college at sea, taking into account of course, that you're on holiday. Or take a virtual ride into space at Illuminations(sm), the only planetarium afloat.
