NEW LATE FARES - JUST ADDED

1839: Samuel Cunard establishes the British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company - known as the Cunard Line - principally to carry the Royal Mail to Canada and the USA.

1840: The 1,154-ton paddle steamer Britannia, and three near sisterships, Acadia, Caledonia and Columbia, enter service. These vessels make the Atlantic voyage in 14 days at 8.5 knots and maintain weekly departures from Liverpool.

1906 / 1907: The liners Lusitania and Mauretania launched. The latter holds the Blue Riband for the fastest Atlantic crossing for 22 years.

1912: On 15 April the Carpathia rescues all the survivors from White Star’s Titanic.

1914: The First World War interrupts Cunard’s fleet development as Cunard called into active service. Cunard carries over one million troops and ten million tons of cargo for the war cause. 22 ships - including the Lusitania - lost.

1934: The 80,744-ton Queen Mary launched and after entering service in 1936 soon gains the Blue Riband. The Queen Mary is the first merchant vessel to be launched by a member of the Royal family (Her Majesty Queen Mary).

1938: The Queen Elizabeth - the largest liner ever built - launched by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother).1939: Mauretania (II) enters service. Cunard ships requisitioned once more for war. The Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth carry between them over 1.5 million troops; Churchill remarks that

the two ships helped shorten the war in Europe by at least a year.

Late 1940s: The Queens begin their transatlantic shuttle, carrying tens of thousands of guests, from film stars and diplomats to businessmen and tourists.

1949: Cunard’s first cruise ship, the Caronia, enters service. She is known as the ‘Green Goddess’ because of the colour of her hull.

1959: The first jet airliner crosses the Atlantic. Air crossings continue to gain passengers at the expense of the great liners. It is in this year when, for the first time, more people cross the Atlantic by air than by sea.

1967: The Queen Elizabeth 2 launched by Her Majesty the Queen.

1969: Maiden voyage of Queen Elizabeth 2, now the only ship offering a scheduled transatlantic service. Queen Elizabeth 2 requisitioned by the British Government for the Falkland Islands campaign. Her

Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother welcomes the ship home. Cunard Countess also chartered for use in the conflict.

1983: Cunard charters Concorde for the first time, thus making use of the company’s greatest competitor on the Atlantic, the jet aircraft. Cunard becomes the biggest charterer of Concorde in the world.

1997: Cunard relocates its global headquarters to Miami after being based in New York for 30 years. Cunard’s five-

ship fleet receives the highest ratings by Berlitz ‘Complete Guide to Cruising and Cruise Ships’. Four ships are ranked number one in their respective categories.

1998: In May, a Carnival Corporation-led consortium purchases Cunard from Kvaerner for $500 million and merges the company with Seabourn Cruise Line to form Cunard Line Limited. In June the new company announces ‘Project Queen Mary’ – a proposal to build the biggest passenger liner ever.

2000: On 9 March, Cunard signs letter of intent with Chantiers de l’Atlantique (France) for Queen Mary 2 which will be the largest, longest, widest and tallest passenger ship in history and will enter service in 2004.

2002: On 16 January the first steel is cut to mark the formal start of construction of Queen Mary 2. On 4 July the keel is laid for Queen Mary 2.

2003: On 21 March Queen Mary 2 is floated out of the building dock. In December, Queen Mary 2 is handed over to Cunard and arrives in Southampton.

2004: On 8 January Queen Mary 2 is named by Her Majesty the Queen. On 12 January RMS Queen Mary 2 sails on her Maiden Voyage. She departs Southampton on 16 April on her first transatlantic crossing to New York. On 25 April both Queen Mary 2 and QE2 meet in New York – the first time that two Cunard Queens have been berthed in the port since March 1940. On 1 May both Queens arrive in Southampton – the first time two Cunard Queens have been in the company’s home port since 1967.

2006: On 6th May the keel is laid for Queen Victoria.

2007: On the 15 January the Queen Victoria is floated out of dry dock. On the 11 December the Queen Victoria sails on her maiden voyage.

2008: On the 13 January all three Cunard Queens were in New York together. The QE2 sailed on her final voyage "QE2 Final Voyage" bound for Dubai and thus leaves the shores of the UK forever.

2009: On the 4th September 2009 the Queen Mary 2 delivered a historic item upon her arrival in New York from Southampton. This unique item was Wedgwood's "Gift Between Nations". The unique, large scale model of the world famous Washington Monument was created by the iconic British pottery company in commemoration of their

250th Anniversary, and celebrates the long and illustrious links between the two great nations of Britain and the USA.

2010: On 11 October a new ship, almost identical to Queen Victoria is named. Her Majesty the Queen names the new ship Queen Elizabeth, before the ship sets sail on her maiden voyage to the Canary Islands the following day.

WHAT IS CUNARD’S WHITE STAR SERVICE?

Cunard is synonymous with elegance, luxury and its renowned White Star Service which sets the standard by which all others are judged. Cunard’s commitment to ensuring each guest is pampered begins at the White Star Academy where each crew member is trained to provide impeccable service.

Cunard prides itself on standards of service that go above and beyond, exceeding the expectations of our guests. We call this White Star Service.

You’ll experience this the moment you step on board when our white-gloved officers and crew greet you with a smile and warm welcome.

From then on you’ll notice that every detail of your cruise has been carefully considered to make sure you have the most enjoyable, memorable and luxurious experience aboard The Most Famous Ocean Liners in the World.

A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE

In return for a British government loan, in 1929 Cunard agreed to complete the construction of Queen Mary and take over the running of the White Star Transatlantic Fleet.

Today, White Star Service is a lasting legacy of our historical connection to the White Star Line and honours the golden era of these elegant and luxurious vessels.

SERVICE OF DISTINCTION

All our staff are trained at our White Star Academy, so each and every member of our crew delivers the same high level of service across every element of your cruise.

Every member of our crew is polite, courteous and immaculately dressed at all times: we’re always ready and waiting to serve our guests.

Our staff speak English in all guest areas, and are very knowledgeable about our ships and services – whether you need ideas about activities, or want to know facts about the ship. Nothing is too much trouble.

Our heritage is something we’re very proud of – in fact it’s where the name White Star Service comes from.

&Cunard have launched new ‘Vantage Fares’ for cruises departing from April 2013. Vantage Fares give you flexibility and value, while Getaway Fares are reduced, but less flexible. Simply choose which suits you best.

CUNARD PRICE PROMISE“We promise that, should we reduce the Vantage Fare for a holiday you have already booked (for your cruise and cabin type with the same terms and conditions), we will pass on the value of the reduction to you automatically in the form of a complimentary benefit such as on board spending money or a cabin upgrade. If, however, fares for your holiday should rise after you have made your booking, and they may, you can rest assured that you have received excellent value by booking early – so both ways you win.”

We stayed in a Queens Grill Penthouse. The cabin was spacious and comfortable. The dining in the Queens Grill was excellent with

superb service, the food was the best quality we have tasted anywhere, also the staff were happy to make whatever dish one requested, also, if we did not like anything on the menu they would bring an alternative. As I said the service was superb...

RADAArguably the most famous acting school in the English-speaking world, London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) has a unique relationship with Cunard. The Academy was founded in 1904, and has

trained countless memorable names of the stage and screen from Vivien Lee, Charles Laughton and John Gielgud to current leading actors such as Anthony Hopkins, Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman. The RADA graduate company presents specially-edited versions of renowned plays, and adaptations of great literary classics on Transatlantic Crossings, each lasting no more than one hour.

Cape TownThe “Mother City” has welcomed sailors since Portuguese navigators first rounded the Cape of Good Hope in the 15th century. Not only is it one of the most beautiful cities in the world – tucked into the arms of a broad bay, beneath Table Mountain – but it is also surrounded by magnificent beaches, rugged mountains and bucolic vineyards. On a fine day you can ride the cable car to the summit of flat-topped Table Mountain, surrounded by views of picturesque Cape Town with the Cape of Good Hope in the distance.

13 Apr '13Walvis Bay, NamibiaThe 'Diamond of Africa' is a country of stark beauty and contrasting landscapes. It is home to the world’s oldest desert, the world’s highest sand dunes, and a diversity of people that have created an intriguing blend of cultures and traditions. Tales of shipwrecks echo along the Skeleton Coast where you can visit the old world resort of Swakopmund and glimpse Spitzkoppe, a volcanic mountain known as Namibia’s Matterhorn.

21 Apr '13Gran CanariaThe Canary Islands have some of the most striking and diverse scenery of any islands on earth: dry volcanic deserts, a snow-capped mountain, lush fields with banana and pineapple plantations, plus spectacular beaches! Only 70 miles from the coast of Africa, the Canaries were a way station for Spanish galleons and Las Palmas was the provisioning stop for Columbus on all four of his voyages. See the palace where he stayed and wander through a fascinating collection of 15th-century marine memorabilia.

22 Apr '13Funchal, MadeiraFunchal is home to a third of the island’s population. The city is noted for its superb hand-embroidery and wicker ware, both Madeiran specialities. The island, of course, is also noted for its superb wines: they are perhaps the world’s most complex and long lasting wines. Lush botanical gardens and superbly landscaped terraces adorn the hills above the capital. Settle down in a local café and soak up the scenery with a perfectly chilled glass of local wine.

24 Apr '13Vigo, SpainAn important fishing and commercial port, Vigo was first settled by Celts circa 600 BC. The Celtic legacy lingers on in Galicia’s old legends and in the bagpipes played on festive occasions. Shaded squares and cobbled streets make for an excellent amble around this old fishing town. Seafood restaurants are plentiful in the harbour, make sure you leave time to sample your favourite dish.
