Cunard's QM2 Offers More NYC Departures

Cunard Line announced an extended series of 12 ten-day voyages by the Queen Mary 2 to the Caribbean from New York in the 2007-08 season. The company also announced two 13-day sailings to Panama and the Caribbean and a 14-day Caribbean voyage featuring Christmas Day at sea and New Year's Eve in the port of St. Thomas. The ship's speed allows it to sail farther south than other ships out of New York, affording more Southern Caribbean port stops, such as Barbados, on 10-day voyages. In 2007 and 2008, Cunard will offer more than a dozen Caribbean voyages roundtrip from New York. Ranging in length from 10 to 14 days, these journeys include 12 departures of the 10-day "Connoisseur's Caribbean" to Tortola, St. Kitts, Barbados, St. Lucia and St. Thomas; the 14-day "Caribbean Celebration" departing Dec. 20 and visiting Tortola, St. Maarten, Curacao, Grenada, Barbados, Dominica, St. Kitts and St. Thomas; and two 13-day "Panama and the Caribbean" voyages departing Feb. 2 and March 24, 2008, with stops in Costa Rica, Panama, Curacao, Bonaire, St. Lucia and St. Thomas. Fares for the QM2's 2007-08 Caribbean voyages start from $1,499 per person, double occupancy. For more information, call 800-913-7245.
