Recommended Posts

We did a back to back this year and we stopped in Halifax out of NY to Southampton. From Southampton we traveled to Bruges and Cherbourg. At those ports we went on excursions to the WWI battlefields in Belgium and the Normandy landing sites in France. From there we docked at Southampton and then back to New York. On both stops in Southampton we had lunch with English friends that we had met on previous voyages. Considering the air fares to Europe, the ship is becoming a more attractive way to go to Europe. If you have the time it is the best way to go.

The back to back I was looking at sadly tuned out to be 2 of those super slow crossings(16) days .far to many sea days and far too slow for me..That said next years crossings now are up to 22 with the canceled drydock..the most since the slowdown/cut back of 2009-10..and thats good news..OM2 is made for the crossings ..not some port cruise,

8 days crossing is the norm today. The days of 5 day express crossing are no longer.

It's reassuring to hear the QM2 will be doing more transatlantic crossing .

I agree that the Qm2 is an Ocean liner made for transatlantic crossing.

I did a QE (Queen Elizabeth) last year crossing , and the ship didn't do as well

As the QM 2 , in high seas.

The demand seems to be there for crossings

Thou I wish QM2 would go back to the 5 sea day 6 nights as she did 2004-2009..Im ok with the 6sea days 7 nights...Now the 7 sea days 8 night that Cunard offers with 3 or 4 of the crossings is WAY to slow for me, as I like the fast liner feel that you still sort of get with the 6 sea day crossings.
