How do you feel about sailing aboard
ultra-luxurious ships like the Queen Mary, Queen Victoria and
Queen Elizabeth? These three world-famous vessels are part of
the fleet owned and operated by Cunard Line.
Cunard Line, Sailing the Seas Since 1840
Prior to being called Cunard Line, the company which was founded in
1840 was named the British and North American Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company. For more than a century now, the
British-American owned shipping company has been a leading
operator of passenger ships in the North Atlantic. Over the
years, the many changes that the company underwent added to the
sense of history that you will feel when talking about the
company. Currently, the headquarters of Cunard Line is based in
Southampton, England and is operated by Carnival UK.
The ships sailing under the Cunard Line are known
as the most famous ocean liners in the world. The signature
style of being booked in a
Cunard Line cruise begins with champagne toasts in luxurious
salons, dancing the waltz in grand ballrooms, enjoying mouth
watering cuisines in fine dining rooms and enjoying fascinating
conversation on the ship's decks.
