Transcription

1 2010 QUEEN ELIZABETH MAIDEN SEASON LAUNCH With the introduction of Queen Elizabeth, Cunard will be celebrating a new golden age of ocean liner travel. This gracious new Cunarder will take up residence in Southampton in October 2010 and embark upon 6 thrilling maiden voyages including her Maiden Voyage to Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands. As sister ship to Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth will recall the rich heritage of the first Cunarders to bear the name with details and features from her predecessors Queen Elizabeth and QE2. Her art deco flourishes will echo the legendary golden age of ocean travel and the activities she offers onboard such as traditional supper clubs with dancing and a Cunard Classic Film Club, will captivate regular Cunard guests and those new to the brand alike. Her opulent public rooms include a soaring and graceful Grand Lobby stretching over 3 decks with stunning curved staircases, and a double height Queens Room with specially commissioned stained glass panels, ornate balconies and an intricate wooden dance floor. Her new Garden Lounge, with its fabulous conservatory style roof inspired by the glass houses at Kew gardens, will offer dining and dancing under the stars, and the spacious Games Deck will offer a range of unique activities including lawn bowling, croquet and paddle tennis and will play host to refined and elegant garden parties. Queen Elizabeth boasts a new Britannia Club Restaurant which offers guests staying in AA Club Balconies a luxurious and elegant single seating restaurant, introduced due to the popularity of this concept on Queen Mary 2. She will also provide more flexibility for families with a selection of 4 berth staterooms. During her maiden season she will cover a variety of destinations including voyages to the historic Mediterranean, the charming Canary Islands, the enthralling Aegean and a Maiden Season Christmas voyage to the Caribbean.

6 6. Cunard Line Key Selling Points Celebrate the Golden Age of Travel aboard the ocean liners of Cunard The only true ocean liner experience today is onboard a Cunarder. Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and sister ship Queen Elizabeth recreate an era when getting there was half the fun. With more than 160 years of history, tradition is something we cherish at Cunard. It defines our culture, distinguishes our service, and enriches the experience we offer our passengers. Timeless Legacy There was a time when crossing the oceans on a stately Cunard liner was the embodiment of the good life. It was bullion on deck, dressing to the nines for dinner, and polite conversation among like-minded travellers. Dashing British officers and charming waiters created a privileged realm of relaxation and indulgence that epitomized a bygone era and millions celebrated hope by making the transatlantic journey to a promised land. This is the legacy that still lives aboard the Queens of Cunard. White Star Service From the signature white glove greeting at embarkation to the personal attention of your room steward or butler, this understated and impeccable British standard of service embodies Cunard s elegant traditions. From award-winning Grill dining to varied culinary experiences that rival the best restaurants ashore, elegant evening meals are complimented by vintage wines and outstanding waiters who take pleasure in spoiling you on the finer points of White Star Service. For royalty, celebrities and discriminating travellers, there is just one place to experience the cherished traditions that made Cunard famous. Grill Experience Elegant and lavishly appointed, Cunard s Grill accommodations, private lounge and restaurants reflect the high style and grace of the Golden Age of Ocean Liners when travelling first class with Cunard was to know the grandest luxury in the world. An exclusive enclave, Cunard s Grills are imbued with a refined sense of tradition and privilege. There is a genuine camaraderie and personalised service that is generally found only on far smaller, more intimate ships. Legendary Voyages to Legendary Places Whether enjoying the unique pleasures of a Transatlantic crossing, circling the globe on a World Cruise, or experiencing a classic liner voyage a Cunard ocean passage is a reminder of when the journey was as much a reason to travel as the destination itself. Majestic Pursuits Everything feels more special on ships that are international icons. Whether you prefer days of leisure or stimulating activities, Cunard accommodates extravagantly. Our signature Queens Room a true grand ballroom with a full orchestra is a continuation of a tradition now regarded as a Cunard exclusive. Enjoy a dazzling variety of concerts, films and illuminating talks. Enjoy theatre with full production shows. Find time to exercise in one of our many pools or soothing treatments at a world class spa. Practice your golf swing or visit one of the largest libraries at sea. Even the duty-free shopping has a regal air of privilege. Fine Dining & Grill Experience The halo of the Queens, Princess and Britannia Grills aboard a Cunard ship give rise to the expectation of fine dining and service throughout. A Special Event Increasingly, passengers are sharing the heritage of a Cunard voyage with members of their immediate and extended families. Grandparents celebrate special occasions with grandchildren and affluent travellers may bring their own children to celebrate significant events that mark their lives. A Cunard voyage is something people aspire to take one day Cunard World Club membership is just one of the many reasons to sail with Cunard time and time again and provides repeat guests access to exclusive benefits based on the membership level attained. 6
