Cunard Line: Cunard Cruises Provides Civilized Adventures at Sea On World Famous Ocean Liners

Cunard Cruises appeals to sophisticated world travelers that enjoy traditional White-Star service and style with British flair on luxurious large ships. There are formal dress-up occasions for select dinners, elegant ballroom dancing, and white-gloved tea service. In 2009, Cunard was rated #1 by Zagat in rooms, service dining and facilities. It is also the only cruise line with different levels of dining service depending on stateroom category booked.

Relive the Golden Age of Ocean Travel's fabled White Star Service, updated with a contemporary flair. These include the "Best Onboard Educational Program:" live theatrical performances by the only resident theatre company at sea, featuring the likes of Noel Coward and Shakespeare, and intellectual stimulation from guest lecturers, many affiliated with Oxford University, in the fields of history, world affairs, science, the arts and literature. For evening production shows, you might even want to reserve private box seating.

Other notables include the Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bar and the Royal Spa and Fitness Centre. Listen to jazz in the Chart Room, or attend the Classic Captain's Black and White Ball.

It's important to understand dining venues guests are assigned to are based on stateroom category. The two-storey Britannia Restaurant serves two seatings for most stateroom categories. For guests with accommodations in Princess Suites or Queen Suites, premium single-seating dining is provided in the exclusive and intimate Princess and Queen Grills, which offer some of the best fine dining at sea.

Specialty dining options available to all guests include the Mediterranean cuisine of Boston's star chef, Todd English. Plus, the Golden Lion Pub serves up fish and chips, curries and traditional pub dishes in an authentic-looking English pub setting. Lido Deck dining offers breakfast and lunch during the day, and is converted to different themed restaurant venues at night.

Cunard has always appealed to travelers keen on broadening their intellectual horizons. The Cunard Insights is the line's excellent enrichment program, providing guests often rare opportunities to interact with acclaimed experts and prominent luminaries through lectures, question-and-answer sessions, debates, social gatherings and workshops.

Cunard is well known for its Transatlantic cruises between New York and London (Southampton). These are six-day crossings that provide for a wonderful cruise experience, and the opportunity to enjoy the best of life at sea.

Built in the spirit of the legendary Cunard ships that precede her, the newest Queen Elizabeth is a worthy successor to her namesake, with double- and triple-height public rooms and a design and ambience that recalls the age of grand transatlantic ocean liners.

Enjoy paddle tennis, croquet and traditional British bowls on a green on the canopy-covered Games Deck. Relax in the Garden Lounge with a vaulted glass ceiling. Or shop in the Royal Arcade onboard, featuring a Fortnum & Mason. A new Britannia Club category will offer premium balcony staterooms with single seating dining.

Cunard features Canyon Ranch SpaClubs that feature a "high touch" and back-to-basics health and wellness experience, with workshops and lectures. Some of the ships include a hydrotherapy pool and Thermal Suite with saunas, steam rooms, meditation room, showers and relaxation area.
