Cunard Line Receives Top Travel Industry Honors on Both Sides of the Atlantic

 
 
Cunard Line and its flagship Queen Mary 2 were recently awarded top travel industry accolades on both sides of the Atlantic. U.S. publication Travel Weekly announced its annual Reader's Choice Awards, naming Queen Mary 2 as "Best Luxury Cruise Ship" for the second consecutive year. In the U.K. earlier in the fall, Travel Trade Gazette's British Travel Awards named Cunard as "Best Luxury Cruise Line" and "Cruise Line of the Year."

Both highly-coveted awards result from travel agent polls and are widely recognized as a symbol of excellence in the travel industry.

"It is truly an honor to receive these very meaningful accolades from our valued travel industry partners," says Carol Marlow, president and managing director of Cunard Line. "Their sentiments are a testament to the distinctive experience that only Cunard is able to offer - blending unique onboard elements with historic itineraries and our renowned White Star ServiceSM ."

Cunard liners are known for sailing legendary voyages around the globe, with such signature routes as the company's iconic transatlantic crossings and renowned world cruises. Continuing Cunard's 165-year heritage of transatlantic service, Queen Mary 2 is the only ocean liner with regularly scheduled transatlantic crossings between New York and Southampton.

Cunard Line caters to sophisticated travelers who enjoy the classic ocean liner experience combined with 21st century luxuries and amenities. Aboard the famous ships, like-minded travelers will enjoy the Cunard hallmarks of impeccable White Star ServiceSM, fine dining, sumptuous surroundings and civilized adventure.
