Rugged Arctic fjords, sun-warmed island harbours and Manhattan's glittering skyline – Cunard's three Queens unite Norway, Portugal, Morocco and New York in one seamless journey.
Sailing beyond the Arctic Circle as autumn nights lengthen, you'll have the chance to see the Northern Lights ripple across Norway's skies. Then a simple changeover in Southampton sets you on a southerly course, trading northern drama for flower-filled Madeira and the green volcanic Azores. Morocco's spice-scented souks follow, awakening every sense along the way.
Linking every chapter are Cunard's three Queens, each carrying the line's gracious traditions in her own distinctive style. After a few unhurried days in London, Queen Mary 2 sets out on the legendary Transatlantic Crossing – six days of open ocean at a restorative pace. As the Statue of Liberty appears on the horizon, you'll sail into New York in the grandest of fashions.
Your holiday begins with an overnight flight from Australia to London.
