If you’re just now getting around to planning your summer travel, you might be out of luck. We’re hearing from many of our supplier partners that they’re not taking new bookings unless your dates are later than October.
But don’t let that dissuade you! We’ve actually got a little trick that might make it possible for you to have an exceptional vacation this summer — on a luxury, small-ship, or expedition cruise! We’re hosting small groups on a few trips this summer, and we’d love it if you were to join us.
Iceland, Jan Mayen Island and Svalbard
Want to join us on a fabulous expedition to the Arctic? We’re flying to Reykjavik, and then getting on a gorgeous eco-friendly purpose-built ship for polar regions.
We’ve acutally got some incredible savings for our clients on this sailing — which we can’t publicly advertise — but if you’d like to join us, let us know!
Independence Day Celebration
Want to see the 4th of July fireworks in Boston Harbor from the deck of a luxury ocean liner? On this Canada and New England saling, departing out of New York, you can do exactly that! This is a spectacular way to spend Independence Day. Enjoy the freedom to bring as much luggage as you like on this roundtrip Canada and New England voyage that treats you to an early morning departure in Boston and days ashore in Halifax and Newport.
Itinerary:
Day 1: New York, New York
Whether you know it as the ‘Big Apple’ or the ‘City That Never Sleeps’, New York is a shoppers’ paradise, crammed full of exceptional sights and experiences, and pulsing with a palpable energy. This morning we’ll meet up in Brooklyn and board our luxury ocean liner for a fabulous week touring Canada and New England!
Day 2: At Sea
With time at sea the choice, as always with Cunard, is yours. There is as much or as little to do as you please, with more possibilities than you have time to discover.
Day 3: Halifax, Nova Scotia
A star-shaped fortress welcomes you to this fascinating city. Here you can stand beside the visionary Sir Samuel Cunard himself, or rather the bronze statue that presides over his hometown waterfront. Halifax gardens is a must-see in the capital of Nova Scotia. It’s a tranquil tapestry of manicured lawns, winding paths and iron railings, crowned by an ornate Victorian bandstand.
Day 4: At Sea
Afternoon tea? A visit to the on-board Planetarium? Dancing lessons? Fencing? Shuffleboard? There’s so much to do on board!
Days 5-6: Boston, Massachusetts
What better place to spend the 4th of July than Boston! Located in a natural harbor full of significant historic sites including The Freedom Trail, a visit here is truly historic. And we’ll be docked in that harbor overnight for all of the Independence Day Festivities!
Discover tide-turning history at the Boston Tea Party ship, stop by TV’s famous Cheers bar where everybody knows your name or, for the simple pleasure of retail therapy, visit Boston’s many shops.
Day 7: Newport, Rhode Island
Extravagance is the theme among the fabulous millionaire mansions built in Renaissance, Rococo, French and Victorian style atop Newport’s cliffs. Its yacht-filled harbor has hosted the America’s Cup.
Closer to sea level, the city’s streets and sandy shores offer a fine array of picturesque locations for taking in the bracing Rhode Island sea breeze.
Day 8: New York, New York.
And we’re back! Consider taking in some of the city’s sites before heading home. We can help with that!
The Ship
Queen Mary 2 is a remarkable flagship, and her style and elegance are legendary. Above all, it‘s the space she offers and the luxury for you to do as little or as much as you wish which set her apart.
From parties of one to families of four, you’ll find a variety of spacious staterooms and suites on board our ships to make your voyage as comfortable as possible.
Yachtman’s Harbors of the Riviera
At the end of July, we’re taking an exceptional cruise on a small-ship luxury yacht with tall sails from Rome to Barcelona!
With hotels in Italy, France and Spain filling up, this is a great way to unpack once and enjoy the best that Europe has to offer!
Greek Island Glow
And if you’re looking for Greek in August, have we got a voyage for you! We’ll be sailing on Virgin Voyages, on an adults-only cruise that’s packed with fun. This is not your cookie-cutter cruise. Richard Branson might not be on board, but I think you’ll see his imprint on board.
