With over 161 years of sailing history, Cunard Line is one of the more recognized brand
names in the cruise industry, and proudly offers "The Most Famous Ocean Liners in the World."
Ocean liners currently make up the Cunard Line - the Queen Elizabeth 2,
also known as the QE2, and the Queen Mary 2, known as the QM2. In 2007, Cunard's newest ocean liner, the Queen Victoria will be launched. Known for their gourmet cuisine,
as well as a reputation for personalized service, luxurious accommodations, and attention to detail, the ocean liners in the Cunard fleet are also known for their more
exotic and wide range of extensive cruise itineraries including transatlantic crossings and World Cruises.
When the QM2 was launched in January 2004, Cunard Line saw a large increase in passengers (70%) who have never sailed with the line before. At that time the QM2 was
the most expensive ship ever built (at a cost of $800 million) and she had been carefully designed to offer several
"firsts" - the first Canyon Ranch Spa at sea, along with the
Todd English Restaurant, in addition to a full scale planetarium onboard, and productions staged by the Royal Theatre.
