nce, long ago, when leisure travel was an
exclusive experience available only to the luckiest
few, the most elite passengers mingled in the salons and
ballrooms of grandly appointed ocean liners, discussing
politics, economics, or a performance by the latest opera
diva or polo star. These fortunate guests sipped Champagne,
dined extravagantly, danced and delighted in a world —
in a time — that seemed enchanted. And for those days at
sea, on that ship, they revelled in an adventure that was
the epitome of privileged vacationing.
That world still exists today...

Welcome to the Cunard Grills

ou deserve to experience this. “Please, allow me,”
a butler* says as he takes your bag and opens the door to your suite.
What a perfect introduction to the regally exclusive world of The Grills.
For those discerning few accustomed to
the finest things in life — or for those
looking for a once-in-a lifetime adventure
in luxury — there simply is no other way
to travel. The renowned accommodation
of The Grills on Queen Mary 2,
Queen Victoria and the newest Cunard
royal, Queen Elizabeth, represents the pinnacle in personal service
and rich amenities for which Cunard is known. You’ll notice it
everywhere, in each shimmering detail — the wonderful Champagne
served in Waterford crystal, the marvellous fresh flowers and fine linens
in your splendid suite, the club-like dining rooms and private lounges, and
the charmed smiles on the faces of your fellow privileged Grill guests.
This is the way royalty, heads of state and celebrities have vacationed for
well over a century and a half. And it’s still the standard for extraordinary
sophistication today. Choose The Grills, and luxuriate in pure extravagance.
Clark Gable, Jackie Onassis and David Niven
brought glamour to the decks of Cunard liners in
days gone by. Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington
filled their ballrooms with song. Tennessee Williams
sat on their decks and wrote. And Winston Churchill
and Dwight Eisenhower entertained the most
important minds of the time in their salons.

avour a world fit for royalty. What is a day like for
the guest of Cunard’s Grills? Let us paint a picture for you.
From sunrise to starry night, your every
desire is catered to by a staff whose only goal
is to pamper you lavishly with legendary
White Star Service. Consider your attentive
butler,* awaiting your call to unpack bags or
make dinner reservations. Or the concierge,
who considers each wish his command.
In your own exquisite restaurant, sommeliers and waitstaff attend to your
every request, while the chef sends out delectable dishes composed like a
symphony, or à la carte specialities prepared to your specific tastes. And if
there’s something special you’d like that you don’t see on the menu, just
ask — they’ll be pleased to oblige. There’s even a Pillow Concierge Menu
with nine types of pillows, ensuring every dream will be golden.
Yes, indulging in The Grills Experience is unquestionably one of life’s greatest
pleasures, available to but a privileged few Grill guests. Of course, why work so
hard if not to be able to treat yourself to such refined rewards now and then?
S
Through the ages, the world’s most celebrated guests
have lived The Grills Experience onboard. During The
Golden Age of Ocean Travel, the Duke and Duchess
of Windsor were among Cunard’s most revered guests.
Up to 150 pieces of monogrammed Louis Vuitton luggage
signalled their arrival. They enjoyed the company of
film stars, authors and playwrights, and the Duke often
stayed late on the bridge chatting with the Captain.

n adventure in possibility. When your hostess is a
grand Cunard liner, the possibilities for each day onboard are as wide
as the sea. Beyond the walls of your lovely suite, a magnificent ocean
liner full of opportunities awaits. Engage your mind with the stimulating
lectures and classes that our enrichment
programmes offer. Bask in the afterglow
of an invigorating Ayurvedic massage.
Savour tea from a Wedgwood china cup
and scones at Afternoon Tea, or relish a
perfect martini as a string quartet soothes
you with Mozart in the lobby.
Each evening unfolds like a scene from a classic movie, except you’re
the star — waltzing the grand dance floor in the Queens Room at a
Royal Nights ball, or indulging in the ritzy glamour of a European-style
casino. As a Grills guest, you are part of a private world of extraordinary
indulgence. But being on The Most Famous Ocean Liners In The World
means you have a vast array of space, amenities and activities to enjoy.
It is this unlimited potential for enjoyment, available only from an ocean
liner this majestic, that most defines your journey with Cunard.
A
In The Golden Age of Ocean Travel, the most
distinguished of guests stepped from their suites
to wander the halls of the great Cunard liners,
bound for an afternoon practising their golf swing
on deck, or an evening of lighthearted theatre or
gaming in the casino. Some things never change...

This is truly a ship of dreams. The grandest ocean liner ever, Queen Mary 2 impresses with
trademark Cunard sophistication combined with an ultimate extravagance of activities and
entertainment. And her Queens Grill accommodation is among the most lavish at sea.

Queens Grill Accommodation
Those fortunate few staying in the exclusive domains of our Grand Duplexes, Duplex Apartments,
Penthouses and Royal Suites are treated to even more amenities — like priority disembarkation

Dining transcends mere eating and becomes a celebration
in the single-seating Queens Grill on Queen Mary 2. Stop
first at the exclusive Queens Grill Lounge for a cocktail with
your fellow Grill guests. Then, let the pageantry begin.
Begin with a glass of Champagne in a glorious Waterford
crystal flute. Surely, the creations of the European-trained
chefs in the Queens Grill will rival anything you’ve had on
land. Course after course of delectable specialities arrive from the creative à la carte menu. Savour,
perhaps, a cream of asparagus soup, followed by Parma prosciutto, then duck a l’orange, herb-crusted
halibut or even a rib-eye prepared to your specifications. Let our expert sommeliers suggest just
the right wine pairing for your dinner from the largest wine cellar afloat. Dessert and a cappuccino
end a perfect feast, and send you into the night dreaming of all that tomorrow holds in store.

The everyday pleasure of dining is raised to a fine art in
the Princess Grill Restaurant on Queen Mary 2. You
arrive each evening glowing — perhaps recalling last
night’s feast, or in anticipation of the dinner to come.
You will not be disappointed. The waiter remembers your
name as you take your seat, and leads you through the
evening’s offerings. A candle flickers softly on the table,
speaking of the night’s promise.
All around you, smartly dressed guests at other tables laugh and converse about this wonderful
experience, much as they have on Cunard liners for ages. Then the dishes begin to arrive at the
table, and exceed even the waiter’s description. At the meal’s end, you enjoy a glass of vintage
port and some chilled fresh fruit. In all, an evening of the most refined pleasures. And best of
all, there are more just like it to come.
