My Dream Cruise…

Make no mistake, my heart lies with the Ocean.

The rolling waves, the fresh sea air and the gentle shudder as we slice through the water will always give me goosebumps, but this got me thinking – do I have a dream cruise? The answer is YES! Tonight I was browsing some options for a customer when I stumbled across a stunning itinerary on a truly iconic ship. Here is that itinerary:

Granted it is a lot of sea days but there is a number of reasons that this cruise appeals to me.

Let’s start with the ship – Queen Mary 2, the last great Ocean Liner that we are bless to have sailing our seven seas. She is an absolute beauty, sleek lines, a long bow and a deep hull means she is perfect for cruising in almost any condition. Not only is she built to last, she is built for luxury. A sumptuous array of staterooms and suites await which will give you the chance to relax and enjoy the wash of the water as the ship slices through the waves – with that many days at sea I’d certainly want a balcony and I most certainly would spend some time in my cabin.

Second off, the itinerary – I think it’s nearly every cruise addicts dream to cross the Atlantic, there really is only one way to do it – on Queen Mary 2! It’s Christmas, the amount of festivities on board will be truly  memorable as well as the beautiful decorations that they will drape around the ship. Of course, I have to mention the Caribbean – warm weather, crystal clear water and golden sands to enjoy on Boxing day, what could be better?

So tell me, what is your dream cruise? Would you like a cruise of this length? Would you choose a particular destination? Who would you want to share this cruise with?

Happy Cruising!
