    1 Tuesday, July 1, 2025 New York, USA Embark 5:00 PM
    View of New York, USA

    New York is situated on the Atlantic coast of NE United States. With its world-class museums, big statues, even bigger buildings and being the most linguistically diverse city in the world, the Big Apple’s hyperactive rush keeps drawing more and more people to it. The City of New York is a densely packed mass of humanity and all this living on top of one another makes the New Yorker a special kind of person. Read more about New York, USA

    View of Newport, USA

    Newport Island is located in Newport County, Rhode Island, just 48 km south of Providence in the United States.

    4 Friday, July 4, 2025 Boston, USA 7:00 AM
    View of Boston, USA

    Boston is the capital and largest city in Massachusetts, USA. Calling this quaint and delightful city the 'Athens of America' might seem a bit pretentious, but the city's 19th-century glory radiates through its grand architecture, and its world-renowned academic and cultural institutions. Disastrous 'urban renewal' projects in the 1950s provoked such a furious backlash that Boston now has some of the best preserved historic buildings and neighbourhoods in the country.

    View of Halifax, Canada

    Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, the Gateway to Atlantic Canada, is a lively and colourful combination of urban and rural living at its best. It is situated on the world’s second largest harbour, and the beautifully restored waterfront buildings recall the city's centuries-old maritime heritage, which is also cleverly explained at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Visit the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, and the Halifax Citadel that explores the unique local heritage. Read more about Halifax, Canada

    Queen Mary 2 Overview

    Queen Mary 2

    4.3
    (from 156 verified customers)

    Queen Mary 2 is the flagship of the Cunard Fleet, and one of the four ships making up the entirety of the Cunard fleet. She is the world’s only true ocean liner, making her perfectly placed to make the iconic but notoriously rough Transatlantic Crossing. Affectionately known as the 'QM2’, she carries 2691 passengers making her Cunard’s largest ship. Despite being a larger vessel, you will rarely find yourself in a crowd, except perhaps at prime dinner time or a popular theatre show. Highlights of the ship include the largest ballroom at sea and 5-star entertainment nightly in the Royal Court Theatre. Queen Mary 2 is elegant and a true icon to sail on. She honours traditional such as the British tradition of afternoon tea, which includes white-gloved waiters who serve finger sandwiches and scones with cream in the Queens Rooms. Specially commissioned artwork is visible in public rooms, corridors, staterooms and lobbies. Queen Mary 2 is one of the few ships that has a class system, linking staterooms with dining venues.
