The most famous ocean liners in the world

If travel is meant to be savoured, then crossing the oceans should be a majestic experience, not merely a hop across the pond, as some would have it. For travellers of this persuasion, only one name evokes the pleasures of a golden era. That name is Cunard Line.

Queen Elizabeth

Autumn 2010 will further enhance Cunard's illustrious reputation for exquisite ocean travel with the arrival of our newest liner, Queen Elizabeth. Recalling the rich heritage of the first Cunarder to bear the name, her elegance both echos that legendary age and enhances her luxurious modern allure.

The harmony of classic and contemporary strikes an elegant chord throughout this magnificent ship. Images and features from her predecessors, Queen Elizabeth and QE2, sit comfortably alongside her modern charm.
Relive in modern glamour high society events of the 1930s and 1940s as you grace ornate rooms whose rich decor recalls the halcyon days when our first Queen Elizabeth ruled the waves.

Your entrance into this graceful realm is dramatic indeed, as you encounter the curved staircases, geometric patterns and spectacular artwork of the soaring Grand Lobby. Overlooking its stately grandeur is the two-tier Library, a calm haven of warm wood tones bathed in natural reading light and crowned with a fabulous leaded glass ceiling.

Opulent materials, luxuriant furnishings and art deco period flourishes create a stirring impression elsewhere on board, as you'll discover in the double height Queens Room. Here, sip afternoon tea beneath ornate cantilevered balconies and specially commissioned stained glass panels or waltz across the intricate wooden dance floor, gloriously illuminated by the magnificent chandelier.

Queen Victoria

Warmly reminiscent of a more gracious era, modern technology combines seamlessly with her classic yet contemporary interior. Crafted to exude elegance with intricate mosaics, gleaming chandeliers and luxuriant marbles. Crafted too, for sublime comfort with plush carpets, rich fabrics and soft furnishings.
In January 2008, she made her first show-stopping global debut departing on her thrilling Maiden World Cruise destined for seafaring folklore. It's a classic Cunard tradition magnificently reinterpreted. Would you expect anything else? Queen Victoria is, after all, a Classic Cunarder.
January 2008 saw another proud moment in our history. As Queen Victoria set off for New York on the first stage of her Maiden World Cruise, her sister, QE2 joined her on an historic tandem Transatlantic Crossing. These elegant Cunarders arrived in New York on January 13 and met their sister, Queen Mary 2 for a great meeting of the three Queens.
