Sail to New York aboard the last ocean liner
Like Titanic, but without the tragic ending
from £999 pp
Not all cruise ships are created equal. Well, most are pretty similar, but one stands out: Cunard's Queen Mary 2. Technically, it's not even a cruise ship; it's an ocean liner. It was built specifically to cross the North Atlantic year round and in any weather — something regular cruise ships can't do.
With most people flying over the pond these days, there's not a lot of demand for ocean liners. In fact, the QM2 is the last of its kind, making its Southampton–New York crossings something of a must-do.
People often describe the experience as "harking back to the golden age of cruising", which is a lot of fluff that doesn't mean much. Basically, it's a pretty luxurious affair (think Rose's quarters in Titanic) with Champagne receptions, tuxedoed dinners and white-gloved waiters. If you're more into t-shirts and flip-flops (nothing wrong with that), this might not be the holiday for you.
As you can probably tell, a QM2 crossing isn't exactly cheap. But every now and then, you'll find a price drop for a winter sailing — which is the case with the 15 December departure from Southampton. For £999* per person, it includes seven nights' full-board accommodation in a Balcony Cabin and flights back from New York. It might not scream cheap, but the same experience next June costs £630 more.
