Why choose Cunard?

Our fleet

Cunard’s fleet comprises four wonderful ships: Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, and our newest ship Queen Anne. Each is grand in scale, with her own distinct personality and feel, and stylish down to the tiniest detail – the perfect setting for visiting favorite destinations or exploring new lands.

White Star Service

A Cunard ship feels like another world, yet is also as welcoming as home. From the very first greeting when you embark to the way your stateroom steward greets you by name, we believe great service is warm and sincere – it is not stuffy or hurried. It is always friendly, but never over familiar.

Space for body and mind

A mid-morning coffee with a beautiful view, a peaceful run on deck, cocktails at sunset in the Commodore Club, or a late evening game in the Card Room: you’ll find thoughtfully designed open spaces or quiet corners throughout our ships. Each new day on board brings a variety of dining options, bars and lounges, and activities to suit every whim. The choice, always, is yours to do as much or as little as you wish.

See the world anew

Our voyages span the length and breadth of the globe and range from three nights to three months. Each offers ample opportunity to discover the unrivaled sense of freedom and possibility found on board, and the fascinating destinations and cultures you can explore when you sail with us.

What's included in your cruise fare

Wherever you choose to discover, you will find lots included in your fare. Well-appointed accommodations, fine dining, fabulous entertainment and outstanding service, it’s all included.
