The Two Queens

World cruises are not for everyone. First of all you need the money, 107 nights do not come cheap, regardless of what cabin you have. Then you need the time, if you work, 3 months is a long time off. If you are retired, various other commitments such as grand children or family may prevent you from travelling. But for all of you out there, who have the time and money, Cunard are offering a fantastic option that may be just for you.


A place people are always very interested in visiting is Sydney. Now for most of us the thought of a near 24 hour flight is too much to handle. So a visit to Sydney on a cruise seems a lot more appealing. There is only one problem. On a world cruise you may only get one or two nights ashore at the most. With all the attractions to see this is not always enough. That is why this next Cunard option sounds so attractive.

The cruise starts with a 49 night voyage from Southampton to Sydney on Cunard's new Queen Elizabeth, from here you will have a 7 night hotel stay in Sydney, this will give you more than enough time to see the city. Then coming home, you will board the Queen Mary 2 for a 53 night voyage back to Southampton. Obviously there are plenty other selling points to this cruise, as you will still be visiting many, many fascinating ports of call. However this would definitely be a unique and interesting way to travel around the world as well as spending a week in Sydney. Also you will be experiencing the luxury of both the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, let’s face it how often can you do that?
