Queen Mary 2 Cruises 2025 / 2026 by Cunard

Iconic and instantly recognisable, few ships can compare to the majesty of the world-famous Queen Mary 2.

Constructed in 2003 (and refurbished in 2016), Queen Mary 2 is the flagship vessel for the inimitable Cunard Line. The ship is the largest ocean liner ever built and provides an elegant, comfortable cruise experience for no more than 2,620 guests.

Onboard a Queen Mary 2 cruise, you will enjoy comfortable accommodations, elegant surroundings and a choice of highly-rated dining experiences in a range of venues. The legendary ship boasts 14 spacious decks brimming with facilities, including swimming pools, a spa and a West End-style theatre. In keeping with Cunard Line’s customary art deco stylings, the Queen Mary 2’s decor combines sweeping staircases and sparkling chandeliers with a host of modern flourishes, making her the ideal ship for guests of all tastes.

Queen Mary 2 is perhaps most famous for her programme of transatlantic crossings. Sailing between Southampton and New York (or vice versa), this thrilling 7-night itinerary is available on selected dates throughout the year. It is undoubtedly the best way to immerse yourself in the heady romanticism of cruising’s golden age.

Complimentary Dining

Dining at the following restaurants and eateries is complimentary to all guests, depending on which category of accommodation you choose.

Main Dining Rooms

There are three main dining rooms on Queen Mary 2, each offering guests freshly prepared cuisine from a varied menu.

Britannia Restaurant

Britannia is the largest dining venue on Queen Mary 2 and is available to guests staying in a Britannia accommodation category. In the evening, there is a choice of two sittings; 6 pm and 8.30 pm.

Britannia Club

The Britannia Club is an exclusive space reserved for guests in AA Britannia Balcony Club Staterooms. The menu is the same as that found in the main Britannia Restaurant, albeit with a selection of a la carte dishes.

Princess Grill

The Princess Grill dining room is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and caters to guests staying in one of the ship’s Princess Suites. It offers an elegant space and a menu packed with choice cuts of meat, mouthwatering seafood, and seriously tempting desserts.

Queen’s Grill

Like Princess Grill, the Queen’s Grill is open during all mealtimes. With a bar and terrace, the Restaurant provides an intimate environment for guests staying in Queen’s Grill accommodation.

The Lido Pool Grill

The Lido Pool Grill on Queen Mary 2 is available 24 hours a day and provides a buffet of freshly prepared meals and dishes. From continental breakfasts to pizzas and roast dinners, The Lido offers an informal atmosphere and represents a great alternative to the ship’s main dining rooms.

The Golden Lion Pub

Queen Mary 2’s Golden Lion Pub provides an authentic pub atmosphere to enjoy an assortment of beers, craft ales, sports entertainment and classic pub dishes like fish and chips and cottage pie. (Drinks not included).

Afternoon Tea

It wouldn’t be a Cunard cruise without afternoon tea! Queen Mary 2 offers a traditional Afternoon Tea service each day in the Queen’s Room. The service is complimentary to all guests.

Kings Court

The Kings Court is a self-service restaurant open throughout the morning and afternoon for light bites and buffet-style cuisine. In the evening, Kings Court provides alternative dining experiences for an additional cover charge.

Boardwalk Cafe

Located on Deck 12, the Boardwalk Cafe provides a comfortable open-air space to enjoy a selection of snacks and beverages.

Speciality Dining Rooms

The following venues are reservation-only and available to all guests for an additional charge.

The Steakhouse at The Verandah

Offering classic steakhouse fare and exuding a delightful touch of 1930s class, The Steakhouse at The Verandah takes notes from the Verandah Grill on previous incarnations of Queen Mary 2 that were previously only available to Cunard’s first-class guests. From cooked-to-order steaks to incredible signature dishes and fantastic wine pairings, we highly recommend dining here at least once during your cruise.

Todd English

Taking its name from the American chef, Todd English is Queen Mary 2’s specialist Mediterranean restaurant. The restaurant’s position above the Pool Terrace means you can dine outside should you wish to do so.

Entertainment, facilities & activities

Cunard Line is famous for the elegant onboard experience it offers its guests. On a Queen Mary 2 cruise, you will find no shortage of ways to spend your time, whether you’re crossing vast oceans and enjoying lazy sea days or taking a break from the shore excursions offered on a voyage in the Mediterranean or Northern Europe.

During the day, you can choose to head to the Pool Deck and enjoy a dip in one of two outdoor pools or relax on one of the many comfortable sun loungers. In addition, the Games Deck provides activities such as tennis and bowls. The ship’s Mareel Spa offers indulgent wellness and beauty treatments, including aqua therapy, massages, and hair salon services.

For relaxation, Queen Mary 2 has several lounges and bars open during the day, such as the ship’s observation lounge and The Commodore Club, which provide bar service and stunning views across the ocean. Queen Mary 2 also offers movie showings in the Royal Court Theatre and a highly-regarded enrichment programme featuring cooking lessons and art classes to talks from noted guest speakers.

When night falls, many guests will head to the Royal Court Theatre to enjoy West End-style performances from the ship’s production team or world-class cabaret acts from comedians, musicians, and magicians in the evening. The Yacht Club is also popular, with nightly music and dancing taking place under the stars. Alternatively, for a true taste of Cunard glamour, the breathtaking Queen’s Room plays host to the ship’s Gala Evenings, whereby guests congregate in their finest red carpet attire to enjoy themed entertainment and Hollywood-style celebrations.
