Cunard adds Queen Mary 2 ship visit
Cruise line Cunard will host additional travel agent ship visits on Queen Mary 2 when the cruise line returns to Liverpool this week.
The ship arrives in Cunard’s spiritual home on 6 September which is the first time Cunard has returned to the city since the naming ceremony of Queen Anne in June.
Queen Mary 2 will depart for Cork in Ireland on 7 September.
The voyage to Liverpool started in New York on 23 August for the ship’s 400th crossing of the Atlantic.
The ship is currently on a British Isles cruise which departed Southampton.
Cunard will now host two ship visits for its travel agent partners in the region, on 6 and 7 September.
Up to 30 spaces are available on each.
The visit on 6 September will focus on the line’s entertainment offering and feature a Champagne afternoon tea in the Champagne Bar, a tour of the ship and the opportunity to see an exclusive early evening performance in the Royal Court Theatre.
Travel agents on the 7 September visit will also have a tour of the ship, followed by a three-course lunch in the Britannia restaurant and then free time to explore.
Agents secured their places via the Shine Rewards platform, Cunard’s agent loyalty programme.
Tom Mahoney, Director of UK Sales at Cunard, said: “First-hand experience is the most effective way for the trade to broaden their product knowledge and build their confidence when selling Cunard.”
Cunard’s wider 2024 ship visit programme also includes events in Greenock and Southampton, with opportunities for travel agents to visit new ship Queen Anne, and Queen Victoria, as well as Queen Mary 2.
This year’s ship visit programme is Cunard’s most comprehensive iever.
