7 Cruises To Consider For Your Return To Cruising (After the Shutdown)

…t. The reason I chose this is, first of all, that it’s an iconic trip. The Queen Mary 2 is the only full ocean liner designed ship. Every other ship is a cruise liner. But also, and importantly, if you’re worried about going out cruising, the advantage with a transatlantic, particularly on the Queen Mary 2, is you only have two ports: Southampton – you can actually go from Hamburg as well, but largely speaking it’s Southampton – and New York.

7 Cruises To Steer Clear Of These Days. And Why!
