The world's last transatlantic liner

That is not a turn of phrase. The Queen Mary 2 is built differently from a cruise ship: thicker hull plating, deeper draught, higher freeboard, and a service speed reaching thirty knots. Those choices are expensive and serve one purpose, holding the North Atlantic in winter, when the sea there is bad. No other ship in service is built for it.

She left Chantiers de l'Atlantique at Saint-Nazaire in 2004. One hundred and forty-nine thousand two hundred and fifteen gross tons, three hundred and forty-five metres, up to two thousand six hundred and ninety-five guests and about one thousand two hundred and fifty-three crew across thirteen decks.

The only ship that carries dogs

She has kennels, on an upper deck, with a kennel master aboard. Dogs and cats travel on the transatlantic crossings, which no other cruise ship allows. For a family moving between Europe and America, it is sometimes the only way to move an animal without putting it in an aircraft hold. The places are few and go very early.

The class system, and why to know it before booking

This is the line's distinguishing feature and the source of most disappointment when nobody explains it. The stateroom grade you book decides which restaurant you eat in for the entire voyage. Four tiers: Britannia, Britannia Club, Princess Grill, Queens Grill.

Grill guests have their own dining room, their own lounge and their own open deck, reached by coded keycard. A Britannia guest cannot book a table there, and it does not change once aboard. In Britannia, dinner is taken at one of two fixed sittings, or within a window aligned to the first.

This is neither a fault nor a trap: it is a deliberate inheritance, from the liners where people travelled by class. But a guest used to ships where everyone eats anywhere needs to know it before choosing a stateroom, because the difference is lived three times a day for a fortnight.

The number of wheelchair-accessible staterooms is published for no ship in this fleet. We check it at booking rather than quote a figure.

What the fare covers, and what it does not

The grand liner setting suggests all-inclusive. It is not. The fare covers the stateroom, meals in the dining rooms and buffets, the shows and the talks. The rest is charged.

A daily hotel and dining charge is posted automatically to your onboard account, at a rate that varies with stateroom grade. It can be prepaid before departure and adjusted at the Purser's Office once aboard, but it does not vanish on its own. A separate service charge is added to bar purchases and spa treatments.

Alcoholic drinks are charged or bought as a package. Wi-Fi is charged. Shore excursions are charged. Some restaurants carry a supplement. None of this is unusual in this segment, but it is worth allowing for when comparing against a line where those items are in the fare.

Meanwhile, in the fleet

The other three are cruise ships, not liners: the Queen Victoria and the Queen Elizabeth from the same series, and the Queen Anne, the newest. The fleet numbers four.

Booking from Quebec

The contract is with Carnival plc, trading as Cunard Line, and is governed by the general federal maritime law of the United States despite the English home port. The competent court changes with the itinerary: Los Angeles County, California, for any voyage calling at a US port, and the courts of Southampton, England, for those calling at none. From Montreal, neither is convenient.

This contract requires no arbitration, unlike several of its competitors: a dispute is litigated before a court. It does impose a class-action waiver, which obliges each guest to act alone.

The deadlines are tight and the second one especially so. Six months' written notice and one year to sue, for personal injury, with ninety days to serve. But fifteen days' notice after the voyage ends for any other claim, and six months to act. Fifteen days. Damaged luggage, a dropped call, a service not delivered: note your disembarkation date. Baggage liability is also capped very low; the cap rises with the line's protection programme, and valuables are not covered at all.

The carrier reserves the right to cancel the voyage, deviate from scheduled ports or substitute the ship, without notice. Nothing establishes a Quebec licence for it. Your protection comes from here: Voyages AquaTerra holds a licence from the Office de la protection du consommateur, your payments pass through a trust account, and your departure is covered by the compensation fund for travel agency customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything to do with the table, and it lasts the whole voyage. Four tiers: Britannia, Britannia Club, Princess Grill, Queens Grill. Your grade fixes the dining room you eat in from the first day to the last. The Grills add a lounge and a deck of their own, closed by coded keycard.
No. It is not a matter of availability or of paying a supplement: a Britannia guest has no access to the Grill dining rooms, full stop. The lounge and deck that go with them are closed by coded keycard. It is all decided when the stateroom is chosen.
The stateroom, meals in the dining rooms and buffets, the shows and the talks. Not the rest. Alcoholic drinks, Wi-Fi, excursions and some restaurants are charged separately, and a daily charge is posted to the onboard account. The grand liner look suggests all-inclusive; it is not.
Yes, without being asked. A daily hotel and dining charge goes onto your onboard account every day, higher in a Grill suite than in a Britannia stateroom. You can prepay it before departure or have it adjusted at the Purser's Office; it does not go away by itself. The bar and the spa add their own service charge.
No, they are charged. As you go, or through a package bought before departure. A service charge is added to every glass, separate from the daily charge already on your account. Over a fortnight's crossing it is a line item that counts in the comparison.
It holds two surprises. First: despite the English home port and the British history, it is the general federal maritime law of the United States that applies, because the carrier is Carnival plc trading as Cunard Line. Second: the competent court changes with whether the voyage calls at a US port, Los Angeles in one case, Southampton in the other.
None, and that is rare enough to be worth saying. Most contracts we read in this sector send disputes to arbitration; this one leaves them to the courts. It does keep the class-action waiver: even if three hundred people live through the same problem, each must act for themselves.
Fifteen days, and that is short. For anything other than personal injury, written notice must go out within fifteen days of the voyage ending, and the action within six months. Damaged luggage, a dropped call, a service not delivered: the clock starts at disembarkation. For personal injury, six months' notice and one year to sue.
Very little. The per-bag liability cap written into the contract is among the lowest we have read. The line's protection programme raises it, but valuables stay excluded in every case: jewellery, devices, medication and documents travel with you, not in the hold.
The figure is published nowhere, and we will not invent it. No technical sheet from this line gives the number of wheelchair-accessible staterooms. We check it file by file. On these long hulls, the distance between the stateroom and the dining room matters as much as the stateroom itself.
Through the agency, never through the cruise line. Nothing establishes a Quebec licence for Cunard. What protects you comes from here: the licence Voyages AquaTerra holds from the Office de la protection du consommateur, the trust account your payments pass through, and the compensation fund for travel agency customers.
Construction, not decoration. The Queen Mary 2 has thicker hull plating, a deeper draught, a higher freeboard and a service speed reaching thirty knots. Those choices serve to hold the North Atlantic in winter. No other ship in service anywhere is built for it.
Yes, on the transatlantic crossings, and she is the only cruise ship in the world where you can. Kennels sit on an upper deck, with a kennel master aboard. The places are few and go very early: for a family moving between Europe and America, it is sometimes the only option outside an aircraft hold.
One hundred and forty-nine thousand two hundred and fifteen gross tons, three hundred and forty-five metres, up to two thousand six hundred and ninety-five guests and about one thousand two hundred and fifty-three crew across thirteen decks. She left Chantiers de l'Atlantique at Saint-Nazaire in 2004.
One hundred and ninety-seven dates: forty-nine in 2026, eighty-three in 2027, sixty-four in 2028 and one in 2029. Three of those lines appear twice in the listing, which gives one hundred and ninety-four distinct dates.
