Luxury cruise of the week

Each week we’ll be running our Cruise of the Week feature, based around our most recent Cruise Adviser guide. For the next few months, we’ll be focusing on luxury cruises, each based on a different destination and season. This week it’s North America in the summer.

 Sailing across the ocean wave, the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. What could be better? Nothing, and you’ll have plenty of that on this trip.

Cunard are known as the specialists when it comes to transatlantic travel and this cruise — pegged as a Fashion Week special — features guest speakers from across the industry, with names such as Colin McDowell, Gail Sackloff and Julien Macdonald.

Cruise Adviser top tip

The remastering of Queen Mary 2 was a huge undertaking. Any clients you have that either haven’t been on Cunard before, or haven’t been on board the QM2, are in for a real treat.
