Cunard cruises have the finest fleet of British passenger ships, the Queen Mary11 and Queen Victoria and passengers keenly look forward to the launching of Queen Elizabeth in 2010. Cunard earned fame in 1839 when Queen Victoria appointed them RMS, the Royal Mail Ship. Ever since excellent modernisations together with a timeless traditional way of life and attractive routes and programmes, Cunard cruises have inspired a totally inimitable onboard ambiance.

Cunard cruises operate transatlantic crossings to New York and sail to the Caribbean, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Canaries, Madeira and the Azores, America and Canada, Scandinavia, the Baltic's and Iceland. They also operate short voyages, world cruises and roundtrips from Southampton. Numerous shore excursions are available. There are generally special offers available such as discounts and upgrades, so it pays to see what is on offer before you make your booking.

Even if you are holidaying alone, a cruise with Cunard is the ideal way to meet new people, as the journey starts with a welcome cocktail party for all passengers. Then there are many activities such as quizzes and onboard classes where you are bound to make friends with others. For the ladies travelling alone, Cunard are thoughtful enough to provide you with gentlemen hosts to partner you for a rumba or waltz.

These cruises provide you with the chance to meet specifically invited personalities, entrepreneurs, explorers, actors, authors, poets and politicians and listen to them narrate their astonishing tales during fascinating demonstrations, informal seminars and lectures. You are also able to participate in the "Science at Sea" program with seminars and talks that discuss current issues and encourage spirited scientific discussions.

Daytime dress on Cunard cruises is casual, but it's all change for the evenings when it ranges from elegant casual to formal and glamorous. Formal dining arrangements are usually determined by the stateroom grade you choose. The ships daily program is delivered to your stateroom each day and you need never worry about getting lost as each stateroom contains a ships plan and it is also pinned up at various handy locations around the liner.
