sailings offer convenience and sophistication
Like Queen Mary 2's legendary Transatlantic crossings, these voyages will have all the elegance and sophistication expected of a Cunard ocean liner experience. In addition, the ship's faster speed allows it to sail farther south than other ships out of New York, affording more Southern Caribbean port stops, such as Barbados, on ten-day voyages. Offering easy access from its homeport of New York, the 2007 - 2008 itineraries showcase an array of less-traveled ports while delivering a more glamorous experience. Cunard voyages are renowned for their luxurious surroundings, exceptional dining and signature White Star Service. "With our 2007-2008 New York-based Caribbean itineraries, we're offering seamless access for those residing in the Northeast to experience the already iconic Queen Mary 2 adventure plus coveted, leisurely sea days that are a hallmark of Cunard voyages," said Carol Marlow, president of Cunard Line. In 2007 and 2008, Cunard will offer more than a dozen Caribbean voyages sailing roundtrip from New York. Ranging in length from ten to 14 days, these journeys include: Connoisseur's Caribbean - A total of 12 departures (from Oct. 31, 2007 - April 6, 2008) featuring ten days with stops in the ports of Tortola, St. Kitts, Barbados, St. Lucia and St. Thomas. Caribbean Celebration - A 14-day voyage departing Dec. 20, coinciding with the Christmas and New Year's holidays, with stops in Tortola, St. Maarten, Curacao, Grenada, Barbados, Dominica, St. Kitts and St. Thomas. Panama and the Caribbean - Two 13-day voyages departing Feb. 2 and March 24, 2008, with stops in Costa Rica, Panama, Curacao, Bonaire, St. Lucia and St. Thomas. Fares for Queen Mary 2's 2007-2008 Caribbean voyages start from US $1,499 per person, based on double occupancy. |
