CUNARD CRUISES – QUEEN MARY 2

Queen Mary 2 Cuisine

In all there are 10 dining venues, and while each stateroom is matched to a reserved table in a sea-view restaurant, guests can choose to make reservations at any of the alternatives or take complimentary room service, available 24 hours a day. The available wine selection is the largest at sea.

Queens Grill Restaurant
An elegant, single-seating restaurant with exclusive luxury touches. Tables are reserved for those in the most sumptuous suites.

Princess Grill Restaurant
Tables here are reserved for those in Princess Grill suites, the ship’s second level of luxury. What’s more, the Grill restaurants have long been acclaimed as the finest dining experience at sea.

Britannia Club
The club-like private salon serves guests in the Britannia Club Balcony cabins. Special a la carte selections are available in addition to the Britannia Restaurant menu.

Golden Lion Pub

Sir Samuel

Boardwalk Café
Serving lunch in a casual atmosphere near the Sun Deck.

Queens Room
Serving a proper English Afternoon Tea, with scones, pastries and finger sandwiches.

Queen Mary 2 Entertainment

There are numerous way for guests to entertain themselves when not on deck, including taking a traditional afternoon tea, exploring the art gallery, with works by  20th century masters like Dali, Chagall and Picasso, and learning ballroom dancing from the professionals.

Then there’s the library, bookstore and book club, for literary discussion, while writing workshops take place in the computer centre. Game players may like to spend time in the Monte Carlo-inspired Empire Casino or proving their skill at bridge and board games.

Or, if you just want to sit back and relax, head for one of the Cunard Insights lectures, to Iluminations for a virtual trip into space or to catch the latest movie or take in a play by the graduates of the Royal Academy of Dramatics Arts – with whom you can also join in a workshop. Also onboard are top boutiques, such as Harrods and Hermés, for the adults, and a play zone for the kids.

In the evenings, guests can wile away the hours in the Chart Room, listening to live jazz, in the Commodore Club, sipping martinis and listening to the tinkle of ivories, trying their luck in the Empire Casino, watching musicals and performers in the Royal Court Theatre, practising karaoke in the Golden Lion Pub, catching a move in Illuminations or simply having a coffee in Sir Samuel’s.

For the more extravagant, however, the Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bar, G32 nightclub or one of the Royal Nights’ spectacular themed balls in the Queens Room, might be more tempting.

Queen Mary 2 Spa

Guests are invited to enjoy the Canyon Ranch SpaClub for massages, treatments and facials – from Stone Massage or Rasul Ceremony to Ayurvedic and Thai treatments. Meanwhile the salon is open for pedicures, makeovers and, of course, hairstyling. The AquaTherapy Centre and Thermal Suite accompany the rejuvenating spa services.

Queen Mary 2 Enrichment

Onboard Queen Mary 2 guests can enjoy a large range of enrichment and lecture opportunities. Among them the chance to study renaissance art with a leading museum curator, study acting alongside the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, learn about oceanography and life in the sea, as well as discovering the secrets of the universe in the planetarium.
