Stepping aboard a Cunard ship is reliving the Golden Age of Ocean Travel's fabled White Star Service updated with a contemporary flair, while maintaining the very best of British traditions. These include afternoon tea, fish and chips at the onboard pub, live theatrical performances by members of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), and intellectual stimulation from onboard guest lecturers in the fields of history, world affairs, science politics, the arts and literature, many affiliated with Oxford University. And where else will you find a planetarium at sea!

Other notables include the Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bar and Canyon Ranch SpaClub. Listen to jazz in the Chart Room, or attend the Classic Captain's Black and White Ball.
