If you want to know whether someone is a hardcore traveler or not, ask what they think about the Queen Mary 2.

The Queen Mary 2 is a 2004-built British luxury ship that cruises between New York City and Southampton, United Kingdom. Journeys run for seven days and have no stops, which makes them voyages instead of cruises.
The route is well-known for dog-lovers, as there’s a fantastic pet program in place. It’s one of the only choices for travelers (or anyone moving across continents) who don’t want to leave their dog in the cargo hold of a plane.
The vessel is grand and beautifully maintained, the company (Cunard) has almost two hundred years of experience under its belt, and its prices aren’t exorbitant. You might even find cheaper fares for the Queen Mary 2 than for flights despite its week-long duration.
Even better, you could win a transatlantic voyage on the Queen Mary 2 for free from Cunard. The company is offering a chance to win a crossing this November. Here’s what you need to know.
Here’s how to win a transatlantic trip on the Queen Mary 2 this November
To ring in America250, Cunard just launched a sweepstakes that lets travelers enter for a chance to win passage from Southampton to New York City on November 10-17th. The voyage marks Queen Mary 2’s 450th transatlantic crossing.
That might raise a few flags—after all, it would mean that Americans need to somehow get to England in order to voyage back to NYC.
Lucky for you, Cunard is also offering flights, hotel accommodation in Southampton, and transportation to and from the port.
Here’s the full list of what comes with a grand prize:
- Trip for two in Balcony Stateroom on Queen Mary 2
- Round-trip airfare between NYC and London Heathrow Airport, along with the winner’s nearest airport (flights to/from NYC)
- One night’s hotel accommodation in Southampton prior to the voyage
- Ground transportation in NYC, London, and Southampton to/from the airport and to/from the cruise terminal
