10 4.0 TRANSATLANTIC CROSSINGS. 4.1 Queen Mary 2 & Queen Victoria Once the only way from Europe to the New World, transatlantic ships were famed for their extravagance and speed. Today, of course, there are many quicker ways to travel. But none finer. Cunard ships have been crossing the Atlantic to and from New York since 1840, when we established the first ever regular service. Today, a Transatlantic Crossing remains as glamorous and exciting as ever, but it also remains one of travel s most iconic experiences. This is a voyage truly anchored in history. A Transatlantic Crossing offers so much possibility. It s a welcome chance to leave the everyday world behind, to escape into a new world of pleasure and excitement and yet feel utterly relaxed. Most of all it s an invitation to make a unique and dramatic arrival into or departure from the world s most exciting city. QM2 in New York QM2 TRANSATLANTIC CROSSINGS A Transatlantic Crossing on Queen Mary 2 is the ultimate Cunard experience, the most luxurious way to travel between the Old and New Worlds. Cunard s Transatlantic Crossings are unique in being the only regular Transatlantic service and the world s only remaining true ocean liner experience. Queen Mary 2 will make 19 Atlantic crossings from May to December 2016, split into 3 main voyage types: Standard crossings in 7 nights Crossings in 8 nights Crossings in 8 nights stopping in Halifax Halifax has historical significance for the Cunard Line as a stopping point during the crossings, as it is the birthplace of the company founder Sir Samuel Cunard and was one of the main way ports on the historic early Transatlantic Crossings.
