Queen Mary 2 voted one of the best!

Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 is a winner in the 2023 USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest for Best Mid-Sized Cruise Ship! 10 ships were voted by readers as the best in this category – featuring cruise ships with a capacity between 1,000 and 3,000 passengers.

The British transatlantic ocean liner earns kudos for retaining tradition, adding fresh design elements and new cabins for solo travelers. Cruisegoers appreciate classic afternoon tea service, specialty dining in The Verandah, kennel suites on transatlantic cruises, the planetarium, nightly productions at the Royal Court Theater and a boatload of daytime activities to fill the time while crossing the Atlantic. If you enjoy dressing up, the QM2 is your ship with several formal nights each week.
