14Experience the romance of arriving into New York on the deck of the world's
most famous ocean liner and enjoy the finest traditions at sea on one of these
special treats across the Atlantic. Crossing the Atlantic on Queen Mary 2 remains
one of travel's most iconic experiences. It's a welcome change to leave the
everyday behind, to escape into a world of pure indulgence and feel totally
relaxed. The bright lights, sights and shopping delights beckon to create the
buzz that is Manhattan - the memory of which stays with you for a long time
afterwards. Think of Central Park, 5th Avenue, The Empire State Building, Times
Square, the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street , Macy's, Tiffany's, NYPD, Yellow Cabs
and Broadway. These are the ingredients which come together in whirlwind of
sights, sounds and experiences.
Christmas and New Year are a magical time in New York with the Christmas
tree at the Rockerfeller Centre, ice skating in Central park and magnificent shop
displays on 5th Ave. On New Year's Eve everyone gathers in Times Square for
count down to the New Year and watch the silver ball drop.
WESTBOUND to New York: Get your holiday off to an immediate start and travel to the United
States in style from Southampton. For five days of any crossing - each day at sea is 25 hours long and so
you will arrive refreshed in tune with local time ready to step of your ship after breakfast and enjoy a
full day. That is without the jet lag - wanting to go to sleep five hours before everyone else and waking
up in the early hours of the morning. Wake up early on your last morning to greet the statue of Liberty
as Cunard Queen Mary 2 glides past in eases into port. Fly home overnight.
EASTBOUND to Southampton: Enhance your holiday and journey home from the USA with the
knowledge that you have not got to go through long security queues at the airport and a tiresome
overnight flight back to the UK. The potential to shop and buy things that you would not normally buy
because of the flight home is irresistible. The New York sail away is an occasion in itself. Have glass of
champagne in hand as the ship slips from her berth and eases out in New York Harbour. Have your
cameras ready as the ship glides past the Statue of Liberty and squeezes under the Verrazano Narrows
Bridge on her way out to sea. The famous New York skyline disappearing behind the wake of the ship in
the setting sun is a defining moment.
