Well, that’s not it, the cruise will cover 16 countries, 27 ports and 33 UNESCO World Heritage sites. It will also be making overnight stops in Hong Kong, Sydney, Dubai, and Singapore. Cunard president Simon Palethorpe describes this cruise as the “perfect blend of exploration onshore and relaxation on board.”

The cruise sails east from New York across the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, along the Vietnamese coast, around Australia and back, giving travellers the chance to experience exotic locations including Australia’s Whitsunday Islands and Petra, Jordan.

The Cruise Is Pet-Friendly And Also Has Arrangements  For Them 

Well, that sounds like quite an adventure, and we are sure you are already planning to book the cruise. But let us tell you that this insane adventure doesn’t come cheap. If you are planning to take the cruise, you must know that prices for the cruise start at a whopping $18,999 per person. Travellers can book either the full itinerary or any of six to three-week-long legs of the trip.

Even if it comes to a hefty price, it’s worth the money and is a perfect option for pet lovers. It is so because Cunard is one of the more pet-friendly cruise lines out there and upgraded its pet accommodations a few years ago. Pets will not only have a few options to choose from on the cruise but will also be tended to by full-time Kennel Masters.

For others, the opulent Queen Mary 2 has 13 decks and two pools. It also has daily afternoon tea, a planetarium, and the largest ballroom at sea. It is 1,132 feet long and can accommodate 2,691 guests and 1,292 crew members. The cruise had shopped sailing in March amid the covid-19 pandemic. However, travellers can rejoice now since Cunard is planning to begin sailing again in March 2021, though global itineraries won’t be back until 2022.

If you want to experience luxury, while ticking your bucket list, then you can book the cruise now. Bookings have already opened, and you can find out more about it on the Cunard website.
