Cunard Line

The ships of the royal fleet

The traditional British shipping company is home to the "Queen Fleet" Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary 2. Founded in 1840, Cunard sends ocean liners to various destinations over the world's seas. On the Queen Mary 2, so-called "introductory cruises" are also possible: two- to three-day trips from Hamburg to Southampton or vice versa, inclusive a stop in London. More information about the fleet is available at www.cunard.de.
