German Bight Cruise with Queen Mary 2

On Cunard Line ships, you will experience a British and, above all, traditional cruising experience. On board you will find luxurious comfort, excellent gastronomy and first-class entertainment. While the RMS Queen Mary 2 is still mostly on the classic transatlantic passage, the two smaller sisters M/S Queen Elizabeth and M/S Queen Victoria sail different routes for every taste. Most of the information on board is also available in German, but basic English language skills are of advantage.

All cabins are very comfortably and classically equipped. The cabins range from the approx. 15 square meter inside and outside cabins, about 23 square meters large balcony cabins to various suites of the absolute luxury class. Here, the guests immerse themselves in a private atmosphere in the past times of the first glamorous cruises. These suites are between 35 and 209 square meters in size and offer exclusive access to separate areas on board.
In the course of the last modernization more possibilities for single travelers were developed. Singles are now able to book 15 new, comfortable single cabins with different sizes. In addition, the flagship of the traditional British shipping company has received 30 new Britannia Club balcony cabins, whose new, stylish design and exclusive features will convince you.

The QM 2 - as the ship is also called - is a very special cruise ship. It continues the tradition of transatlantic liners. This is also shown in its exclusive features, which include numerous exhibits and maritime decorations, bringing the flair and luxury of past glories of the Atlantic Liners back to life. The dignified furnishings in the English style, the personal and unobtrusive service, the numerous entertainment options as well as the excellent cuisine promise a voyage no other cruise ship does. On board, all ages feel comfortable, even if families and younger guests are the exception among the guests.

Various restaurants, cafes and bars aboard the Queen Mary 2 offer culinary highlights at the highest stage. The main restaurant Britannia is spread over two decks. Here culinary delights are offered in two sessions for the passengers of the Britannia cabins (cat. B1 to D6). Guests of the Princess Grill and the Queens Grill category dine in the restaurants of the same name. The menus presented here are created by celebrity chef Daniel Boulud. The Verandah Restaurant delights its guests with contemporary French cuisine, with seasonal and fresh ingredients (specialty restaurant at extra charge). Delicious food is also served in the casual buffet restaurants. The culinary offer is rounded off by various thematic areas, which offer à la carte menus for an extra charge.

From British 5 o'clock tea with piano music to dance and live music, to a visit of the only planetarium at sea - the Queen Mary 2 offers so many different experiences that boredom on board is unheard. Broadway shows in the splendid Royal Court Theater, the latest films in the Illuminations-Cinema, a visit to the well-stocked library of 8,000 books, or an evening at the hip G32 nightclub - everyone will find their favorite place aboard. This can also be the teak-covered outdoor promenade, where you can walk round the ship, enjoy the fresh sea air and just relax.

During the last modernization, the "Queen of the Seas" also got a new public area: the Carinthia Lounge. During the day, Carinthia Lounge offers a peaceful retreat where you can relax, meet friends or enjoy light breakfast and lunch specialties. As the sun goes down, the quiet lounge turns into a welcoming bar serving premium wines and appetizers.

Wellness lovers are also in good hands on board. You can pamper yourself with a massage or Rasul bath at the Canyon Ranch Spa® or relax in the various pools or hot tubs aboard. If you want to learn more about healthy eating and lifestyle, visit one of the offered seminars. For more active guests there is a golf simulator on board as well as one of the most modern fitness clubs at sea - including a wonderful sea view. Get down to your limit - at one of the Aerobics or Pilates classes. On board the Queen Mary 2, each guest will find the right mix of activity and relaxation, matching the individual wishes.

A cruise onboard the Queen Mary 2 is a very special experience, if you appreciate the style of a classic cruise with lots of luxury, culinary highlights and a classic wardrobe. The Queen Mary 2 is certainly one of the most famous ships of our days. Following the tradition of the most famous transatlantic liners, it offers an extraordinary travel experience.
