British Isles Excursion

In celebration of its fifth anniversary, Queen Mary 2, Cunard’s resplendent flagship, will offer an inaugural 8-night Around the British Isles itinerary. Sailing from Southampton, the ship will make stops in Liverpool, England; Glasgow; and Cork, Ireland, with optional excursions to Edinburgh (and a chance to visit the famous royal yacht Brittania) and D-day beaches outside the fortified town of Cherbourg, France. Part of the thrill is the magnificent ship itself: QM2’s 13 decks feature a Canyon Ranch spa, five pools, 10 restaurants (including menus by Todd English), a Veuve Clicquot Champagne bar, and a regal ballroom with the largest dance floor at sea. Plus, there’s a workshop organized by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. This voyage will take you back to the days when sailing was truly grand. From $1,795/person, includes onboard meals and some beverages; cunard.com
