Cunard Cruises

Overview

Cunard Line, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, has a long and illustrious history. The line was founded in 1840 by Samuel Cunard, a businessman from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Cunard applied for and received a contract from the British government to carry the Royal Mail from Britain to North America on a fleet of steamships that would maintain a weekly service. The first route was from Liverpool to Boston via Halifax, but the western terminus was soon moved to New York.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

Order your favorite cocktail from the Chart Room’s fabulous drink menu, while gentle classical music or jazz provides the background to your pre-dinner conversations, with maritime displays and nautically themed decor. Or dance the night away to the sounds of the resident party band and DJ in the fabulous dual-level nightclub. Enjoy popular themed nights from the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties such as Saturday Night Fever and Shake Rattle and Roll. The Queen’s Room provides the opportunity to foxtrot in the largest ballroom at sea. There is no better place to hone your dancing skills than under the dramatic high ceiling with its beautiful crystal chandelier. Sample an afternoon tea of traditional scones with clotted cream, cakes and delicate sandwiches served by white-gloved waiters.

Kids & Teens

Younger members of the family, and perhaps some adults, will not want to leave the Play Zone filled with toys, games and activities. As the younger children delight in the soft play area you can be certain that they are in the best care with a fully trained nursery staff. A range of engaging activities will be thoughtfully prepared by youth staff including sports, arts and crafts and a disco, as well as themed days such as Pirate Day! The teen area, with its game consoles and relaxed layout provides an ideal setting for older children to meet and make new friends. 

Please note that children must be a minimum of 2 years old to participate in the nursery without parental supervision. Children under 2 years old are welcome, provided they are accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times.

Craft & Dance Classes

Watercolour classes and Bridge instruction are available on all cruises that have full sea days. Water colour kits are available for purchase on board.

Coupled dance instructors on board offer a variety of dance lessons on voyages longer than 7 nights in duration. The main types of dance offered are ballroom and Latin. There are no charges for these lessons, however, it may be possible to arrange 1 to 1 tuition, though any charges generated – a fee will be charged to your on board account for this service.

Everyone is welcome regardless of experience

DINING EXPERIENCE

The traditional restaurants on Cunard allow guest to benefit from the personal service gained from having the same wait staff each evening. The three main restaurants are assigned according to the stateroom category that is booked. Cunard also offers specialty restaurants on each ship. Todd English on Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2 features innovative Mediterranean cuisine from the world famous celebrity Chef Todd English. The Veranda on the Queen Elizabeth provides a formal dining experience with contemporary French cuisine. Casual dining venues are also offered on all Cunard ships.

Guest lectures

Cunard’s Enrichment programs introduces guests to featured speakers which include explorers, academics, former ambassadors and politicians, scientists, historians, biographers, award winning novelists and acclaimed actors and film makers. Cunard has special relationships with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, the Royal Astronomical Society, and the Julliard School to add compelling insights to the Cunard cruise experience.
