Cruise Ship: Queen Elizabeth 2

Imagine a floating palace where the pleasures are unmatched. Where royalty, millionaires and film stars have been known to stroll on gleaming teak decks while savouring the earth's most dramatic panoramas. Welcome aboard the one and only Queen Elizabeth 2. Thanks to a refurbishment from bow to stern, she is uniquely prepared to pamper you with the utmost contemporary comfort. Still the only ship offering regularly scheduled transatlantic service, Queen Elizabeth 2 is also an honoured guest in ports near and far. Sailing the world's waters, she becomes your glamourous refuge. And nothing speaks true luxury as eloquently as the experience of being served by talented and dedicated professionals. In an age of lowered expectations and false familiarity, it is a rare and delightful surprise to encounter the sort of thoughtful, attentive hospitality that is the standard aboard QE2. Whatever your requirements, be it flowers for a special ocassion or assistance with the latest computer programmes, QE2's staff ensure every expectation is exceeded. Services onboard QE2 include a florist, a nursery for infants, a computer learning centre, dance instructors and gentleman host program for single female travellers. DINING QE2 is proud of her tradition of culinary excellence that has continually brought her the highest acclaim and each day she seeks to offer you an array of mouthwatering dishes designed to challenge your highest expectations. Start your day with wild berries and croissants in the Lido, or maybe even a traditional English breakfast. And if you don't fancy a full lunch in the restaurant, enjoy a tasty snack or salad by the pool. Scones and clotted cream for afternoon tea. Later, an enticing feast of fresh Maine lobster awaits at the Captain's Gala Dinner. Continuing Cunard's renowned tradition of luxury ocean travel, the elegant seaview restaurant in which you dine is assigned according to your choice of accommodation. Each tempts diners with a delicious variety of international cuisine, expertly created by the ship's talented chefs and served in Cunard style by your attentive waiters. And, as the perfect accompaniment, your sommelier will be delighted to offer his recommendation from the extensive wine list. Alternatively, you can always opt for the more casual atmosphere of the Lido Cafe, where buffet-style meals are served by day and you can enjoy the Midnight Buffet by night. Or take advantage of the room service menu that is available around the clock. ACCOMMODATION The refined style of dining aboard QE2 is matched by your accommodation. The cabins and suites are elegantly appointed, offering superb choice to suit you individual desires. The range extends from the more modest inside and outside Mauretania grade cabins to the ultra-deluxe Queens Grill suites.
