Two years ago my friend and I decided we would do a two month tour of the USA, we had a good idea of what we wanted to see and do and we made the decision to sail there and back via the Queen Mary 2. We were so excited, but sadly we ended up…

Sir Samuel Cunard – Key Moment’s in Cunard Line’s History
It was Sir Samuel Cunard’s birthday on November 21st and to mark the occasion Cunard Line released a pretty interesting press release. I know I’m a bit late with it, but I did want to share it with you as it was a fascinating read and I know many of you Cunard fans out there…
