Best of British cruising - The Queen Mary 2

Just the word Cunard evokes images of stately ocean travel, gentle manners, time to indulge in all things refined and well, let’s face it, the closest thing to travelling royally. Ironically, it boasts the youngest fleet in the world. Its three “royals”, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2, bring a generation of regal modernity to the unbroken traditions of British seafaring.

Keep an eye on the horizon for the Queen Mary 2. In March 2013 there will be an opportunity for Australians to join this queen on her first Royal Circumnavigation of New Zealand. Passengers will cruise onboard the largest, tallest, longest and most expensive ocean liner ever built and will sail through Fiordland National Park to cosmopolitan cities and to the picturesque Bay of Islands.

The staterooms and suites are your sanctuary on a ship that brims with libraries, boutiques, romantic balls, polished silver meals and obliging sommeliers who will mine the largest wine cellars afloat.

The vessel’s lineage is patrician and nostalgia runs riot on the art deco walls that are lined with Hollywood heyday royalty. So muster a group of friends - there are acres of deck space, pools, bars, spas to keep you madly content and gyms to counteract the effects of all the champagne glamour.

QM2 NZ CIRCUMNAVIGATION PACKAGE INCLUDES: 12 NIGHTS INSIDE CABIN ACCOMMODATION • ALL MEALS • ENTERTAINMENT • PORT CHARGES • FROM AUD3,399.00 PER PERSON, TWIN SHARE • VALID FOR 7 MARCH CRUISE 2013 (UNTIL SOLD OUT)
