Overview
Experience the romance of arriving into New York on the deck of the world's most famous ocean liner and enjoy the finest traditions at sea on one of these special treats across the Atlantic. Crossing the Atlantic on Queen Mary 2 remains one of travel's most iconic experiences. It's a welcome change to leave the everyday behind, to escape into a world of pure indulgence and feel totally relaxed. The bright lights, sights and shopping delights beckon to create the buzz that is Manhattan - the memory of which stays with you for a long time afterwards. Think of Central Park, 5th Avenue, The Empire State Building, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, Macy's, Tiffany's, NYPD, Yellow Cabs and Broadway. These are the ingredients which come together in whirlwind of sights, sounds and experiences.
Westbound: Depart from Southampton for seven night's uninterrupted voyage to New York, then fly home overnight at the end of your holiday. During each night of the crossing you gain an extra hour so that you arrive in tune with New York Time. An early morning arrival means you can step of the ship - refreshed after breakfast and enjoy a full day to explore the city; which gives you about half a day more time in New York than on an eastbound itinerary.
Eastbound: Fly to New York for a three night hotel stay, then sail back to Southampton. With no concerns about checking in at the airport at the end of your holiday and a tiresome overnight flight home - your stay in New York is enhanced. Plus feel free to shop till you drop without the luggage weight restrictions on the way home! During each day at sea the clocks are moved forward by one-hour to ensure you arrive at Southampton in tune with UK time.
