USA GRAND CIRCLE
TOUR - NO FLYING
On-board Cunard Queen Mary 2
This magnificent epic holiday of a lifetime is a unique opportunity
to visit the whole of the United States of America without having to
board an flight at all. Set sail from Southampton on board a classic
Cunard voyage to New York and end your tour on a seven night
voyage back home. Travel by full-board sleeper train on a grand
circle tour from the Big Apple, down the east coast and through
the Deep South to the Big Easy - New Orleans. Then along the
Gulf of Mexico and the Southern border through Texas and across
New Mexico to the West Coast and Los Angles. From L.A cross the
desert following Route 66 and the Santa Fe trail through cowboy
and Indian country to Chicago. Your grand circle tour is completed
with an overnight journey skirting the Great Lakes and travelling
though upstate New York back to Manhattan. The old Cunard
slogan "Getting there is Half the Fun" has never been so true
setting you up perfectly for your tour of the USA with no jetlag and
no concerns about airline luggage restrictions on the way home.

26-30 NIGHTS PRICES FROM
£2799PER PERSON
Stay in the French Quarter of New Orleans
to experience a flavour of the Old South
with a distinct French accent, famed for
its filigree wrought-iron work and Mardi
Gras celebrations. Shop at the beautiful
river walk and take a ride on the street car
line dating back to 1835. Visit the St Louis
Cathedral in Jackson Square and sample
the nightlife of Bourbon Street where the
music never stops and looks much as it did
during the 1700's and 1800's with buildings
crowding a narrow sidewalk.
The Sunset Limited takes you 1995 miles
from the "Big Easy" through the Bayous
of Louisiana, the huge heart of Texas, the
storied West and beyond to Los Angeles.
This is true Wild West country with
Apaches, coyotes, road runners, Billy the
Kid, stage coaches, raucous saloons, Wild
West Train Robberies and the Shoot out
at the OK Corral.
In Los Angeles you will stay in up-market
Beverly Hills - the heart of the all the
action on Wilshire Boulevard. Spend
some time on Venice Beach made famous
by the Baywatch TV series featuring
roller skaters and lifeguard huts. Shop
in the boutiques on Rodeo Drive and
perhaps visit the Chinese Mann's Theatre
on Hollywood Boulevard where you will
find the Walk of Fame and see how your
hands measure up to those of Hollywood
stars cast in the concrete sidewalk outside
the theatre.
There is lots to see and do in Chicago
too: go to the beach, shop on the
Magnificent Mile, stare at the reflections
in the giant "Cloud Gate" stainless
steel bean sculpture or stand on the
glass "Ledge" 103 floors up in the Willis
Tower(formerly Sears Tower), the tallest
building in the US. Route 66 starts in
Chicago at the Buckingham Fountain,
and there is the amazing elevated CTA
metro system which defines the central
Loop area of Downtown Chicago.
Enjoy the sail-away party from New York
as Cunard Queen Mary 2 slips from
her berth and eases out into New York
harbour. Get your cameras at the ready
as the ship glides past the Statue of
Liberty and squeezes under the Verrazano
Narrows Bridge on her way out sea, then
wave farewell to the USA with the sun
setting behind the famous skyline.
