The Grand Cunard Cruise Lines: Sail with History and Elegance

Welcome to the amazing Cunard Cruise Lines. This beautiful cruise line began their voyage in 1840. This provides them with a long history of providing elegance and luxury on all of their ships.


This cruise line is small compared to some with less than twelve ships in service. However, their sheer size, luxury, and prominence, well make up for this. In 1988, Carnival Cruise Lines purchased Cunard Cruise Line but they are two distinct cruise lines. The ship names of Cunard are a testament to this. The bigger ships are the Mauretania, Lustania, Queen Elizabeth, and Queen Mary 2. Carolina is one of the smaller ships and one of the oldest. They are beginning to expand their fleet beginning with Queen Victoria.

Size

The Carolina serves 660 passengers, which is small to others especially to Queen Mary 2. Queen Mary 2 is the largest cruise ship in the world and carries an amazing 2600 passengers. Queen Mary 2 also boosts a more powerful engine, her hull is much more streamlined, her facilities are the most elaborate and expensive ever built.

Departure

The departure ports For Cunard Cruise Lines are limited with South Hampton England as its homeport. The Queen Mary 2 is the only vessel in this fleet to visit the United States with voyages from New York to Fort Lauderdale regularly.

Decor

This fleet offers a minimal blend of classic and contemporary elegance that is portrayed in its rich touches. These touches include glass ceilings, candlelight dining rooms, and antique chart replicas. Queen Mary has the largest tapestry on the sea in its restaurant. It depicts her against the New York Skyline.

Itineraries

They offer very few short itineraries. They have a limited 4-day cruise from France. They also have short Caribbean options available.

Onboard Activities.

Cunard Cruise Lines promote a distinguished, sophisticated air. However, they are not lacking in activity options.

Dining

Their dining rooms are segregated by class but offer extraordinary cuisine in all dining areas. They also have a vegetarian and light menu available. For the more casual diner they have a buffet option.

Entertainment

Cunard Cruise Lines are focused on learning and lectures are a staple of their cruises. Their lectures range in a variety of topics including history, literature, cooking, languages, and much more. They have an extensive library on board all of their ships. They also offer tours of the artwork and memorabilia on board.

Evening Entertainment

In the evening aboard these grand ships, you can watch a cabaret act, revue show, plays and musicians among others.

These are just a few of the available things you can do upon Cunard Cruise Lines. Cunard Cruise Lines have a rich history, which they display throughout all their ships. They emphasize learning so remember lectures are the staple of day entertainment. Their grand size and beauty make these ships make a very memorable cruise that a person will not forget for a lifetime. I would highly suggest taking a cruise on the grand Cunard Cruise Line and see for yourself the beauty. So what are you waiting for? Book your cruise today!
