Welcome to Queen Mary 2 - the grandest, most magnificent ocean liner ever built. She's a true heir to the timeless elegance, legacy and inspiration of the great Cunard liners of legend. You'll notice it the moment you walk through her doors into her soaring Grand Lobby, and be awed from the first instance you experience the famous Cunard White Star Service

Yet this sophisticated monarch also boasts the most modern luxuries and amenities - from the pampering services of the only Canyon Ranch SpaClub on the seas to the fascinating Oxford Discovery enrichment programme led by professors from the University of Oxford and other prestigious experts. This regal royal must truly be seen to be believed - come live the adventure.

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 ServiceTM is also assured.

The most anticipated ocean liner 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 space ratio of 57.25 sq. ft. per person makes her one of the roomiest vessels 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 no fewer than 10 restaurants, a largesse which allows you the freedom to experience your own preferences and passions. Rejuvenate at the celebrated Canyon Ranch SpaClub®. Watch a film under the stars. Or how about the classic British deck game of quoits?

Try something novel. Learn something new! Cunard ConneXions 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, the only planetarium afloat.

Accommodation
You can expect to find rich furnishings, exquisite traditional decor and premium amenities such as fluffy bathrobe and slippers in your accommodations onboard QM2. You can receive and send e-mails, choose from dozens of movies, review a seminar you might have missed or sign up for shore excursions - right from the comfort of your stateroom through the interactive television. QM2's blend of grand elegance and innovative technology is reinterpreted on a quieter, more personal scale in these beautiful sanctuaries by the sea. Nearly 80% of staterooms have ocean views and over 94% of these feature spacious balconies. Standard amenities include interactive TV with multi-language film and music channels, data port outlet, refrigerator, hairdryer, bathrobe and slippers, a safe and 110/220 volt outlets.

Dining
Dining has always been the premier event of any Cunard voyage, a gustatory celebration where superb culinary creations are proudly served by waiters trained in the fine art of Cunard White Star Service. Clearly, lavish dining is the centrepiece of the QM2 experience, as well - with vastly expanded venues and menus.

There are 10 restaurants in all, a team of chefs that includes culinary advisor Daniel Boulud, one of the world's most famous chef's, and the celebrated Mediterranean and TV culinary luminary Todd English. As with the custom of ocean liners in the past, each QM2 stateroom is matched with a reserved table at a sea-view restaurant, complemented by the largest wine selection afloat. Of course, you can always make reservations at one of the many optional dining alternatives. Or don't dine out - dine in! Complimentary room service is available 24 hours a day.

Entertainment
Athletes will find one of the best-equipped playing fields anywhere. Sybarites can enjoy the rejuvinating treatments of the world-renowned Canyon Ranch SpaClub. If you're into health and fitness, there's a state-of-the-art gym including separate weight room. Or how about a visit to the planetarium? A wine tasting seminar? Or a walk down history lane at the Maritime Quest Exhibit? QM2's a veritable City at Sea, with everything from a drive-in movie to virtual reality golf, from a basketball court to a bookshop...

When the stars come out, she shines even brighter. Beaded gowns. Black ties and tails. Champagne and caviar. QM2 plays host to the most elegant soirees of the season - in any season. Dancers sweep across the largest ballroom at sea. Hors d'oeuvres are served in Sir Samuel's wine bar, jazz at the Commodore Club, West End-calibre shows in the Royal Court Theatre. Spin over to the casino with it's tuxedoed croupiers. Head down to the G32 disco, or retire to the Chart Room where a cabaret singer croons Some Enchanted Evening...which you'll discover, occurs nightly aboard QM2.
