Transatlantic Cruises from Southampton

Queen Mary 2's Transatlantic Crossing is unlike almost any other cruise from Southampton. Rather than treating the sea days simply as the journey between two destinations, the crossing is the experience itself, with uninterrupted time to enjoy the ship before arriving beneath the skyline of New York.

Selected crossings become even more distinctive with Cunard's Event Voyages. These specially themed sailings bring guest speakers, performers, workshops and curated events onboard, with programmes covering interests such as literature, music, theatre and culture. The days at sea give you time to immerse yourself in the programme while still enjoying everything Queen Mary 2 has to offer.

Whether you choose a traditional crossing or an Event Voyage, sailing between Southampton and New York aboard Queen Mary 2 remains one of Cunard's defining experiences and one of the most memorable ways to cross the Atlantic.
