A transatlantic sailing on Cunard Line’s iconic liner Queen Mary 2 is a unique experience we think every fan of cruise travel should try at least once.  The ancestors of United States citizens who are not native Americans came from somewhere else; many via ocean liner to the ‘new world’.  Sailing back and forth from New York to Southampton, Queen Mary 2 traces those steps, continuing a 175 year old tradition.  Now, a new Cunard Line upgrade offer brings  more reasons to book one of those amazing sailings of Queen Mary 2, as well as other ships in the fleet.

 

 

Cunard is offering a savings promotion titled  “Upgrades on Us” to those who book a cruise now through February 28, 2017. The Upgrades on Us promotion is available on select voyages on all three ships: Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth; the offer includes:

• Free Double Upgrade from an Inside to a Balcony stateroom
• Free Upgrade within the Grill Suites
• All past guests receive Free Gratuities
• All guests in Grill Suites receive Free Drinks
• Reduced Deposit requirements of 50% on all categories

 

 

The Upgrades on Us offer features iconic Transatlantic voyages on remastered Queen Mary 2, which underwent a $132 million refit in June.  This offer can also be applied to some of the new themed voyages planned for next year and 2018 such as:

• Transatlantic Fashion Week (Aug 29-Sept 7, 2017): As Queen Mary 2 sails across the Atlantic, a glamorous array of fashion shows, exhibitions, lectures and hosted dinners will be onboard including guests Julien Macdonald, Colin McDowell, Gail Sackloff and more.
