Cunard Receives Coveted Travel + Leisure 2016 World's Best Award

Queen Mary 2, Cunard's flagship vessel, is the only ocean liner currently sailing regularly scheduled transatlantic service between New York and Southampton, England. She draws on 80 years of prestigious heritage from her namesake RMS Queen Mary and continues to define sophisticated ocean travel with the most luxurious offerings, unique excursions, and the widest range of entertainment and leisure options available at sea today. 

"We are honored to receive this designation from the readers of Travel + Leisure, who are some of the most discerning travelers in the world," said Richard Meadows, President, Cunard, North America. "We pride ourselves on the level of service and offerings we provide our guests and our ongoing commitment to offer world-class luxury in the cruise industry."

The renovation included new staterooms, its first staterooms for solo passengers, expanded kennels, new dining venues and public spaces, and 594,000 square-feet of new carpet. This investment marks Cunard's commitment to elevate and improve the guest experience and remain at the top of the industry.
