Queen Mary 2
Queen Mary 2 will continue her reign on the Atlantic in 2010 with 21 Transatlantic Crossings including between New York and Southampton, Cherbourg or Hamburg, providing guests time to experience the multitude of onboard activities such as enjoying a lecture through the Cunard Insights program, discovering one of the 8,000 volumes in the Library, dancing nightly to an live orchestra in the Queens Room, viewing all of the cosmic journey offerings in the only planetarium at sea and honing their dramatic arts skills in a RADA workshop, to name a few.



There will also be more "Grand" voyages roundtrip from New York whereby guests can combine two Transatlantic Crossings with a Mediterranean, Northern Europe and for the first time, a short Getaway voyage in Europe. In the summer of 2010, Queen Mary 2 will also offer five voyages to Northern Europe from Southampton and Hamburg, including maiden calls to the North Cape and Tromso in Norway. After her short Getaway for the July 4th holiday, she returns to New York in fall 2010 for a season of voyages in the Americas, including two explorations of Canada and New England and five Caribbean voyages departing roundtrip from New York.
