The Trans-Atlantic Voyage
Queen Mary 2, For The Iconic Transatlantic Crossing
Step into a world of timeless elegance, effortless indulgence, and enriching discovery aboard Queen Mary 2, the world’s only true ocean liner. This legendary ship is purpose‑built for the North Atlantic, offering a level of stability, power, and grandeur unmatched by any modern cruise ship.
Sail the iconic Transatlantic Crossing in six or seven unhurried days, traveling either eastbound from New York to Southampton or westbound from Southampton to New York. It is one of travel’s most storied journeys — a rare chance to disconnect, unwind, and savor the romance of ocean travel.

Queen Mary 2 is not just another cruise ship — she is the only operational ocean liner in the world.
- Stronger: A reinforced hull designed for the North Atlantic
- Sleeker: A long, elegant profile built for speed and stability
