Where should I start?
Cruising opens up a world of excitement and variety, though it can feel like a lot to take in at first. This page highlights the essentials to help you get started on your voyage.

Why choose a cruise holiday?
There are a multitude of reasons our guests choose to cruise rather than take other types of holiday, but we find these three are the most popular.
Inclusions and variety — Your Cunard Queen features luxury accommodation, incredible restaurants and a wealth of exciting evening and daytime activities and venues to choose from, many of which are included in your cruise fare. Like any traditional package holiday, you can rest easy throughout your voyage knowing that your needs are catered for.
Unpack once — A cruise is the perfect way to see more of the world but, unlike other multi-destination holidays, you don't need to pack and unpack between each stop. Simply wake up somewhere new each day, take it all in, and sail off again each evening.
Meet like‑minded travellers — A cruise is a fantastic opportunity to meet new friends from around the world who share your interests. Striking up a conversation is easy, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to dine, laugh and explore with other travellers on board and ashore.
