The Truth About 7 Days at Sea on Queen Mary 2
Spending seven consecutive days at sea with no ports of call sounds like pure relaxation to some - and absolute torture to others. In this video, Larissa and I break down what it’s actually like to spend seven straight sea days crossing the North Atlantic aboard Cunard’s iconic Queen Mary 2. Did we feel confined? Did we run out of things to do? We explore the daily rhythm of a westbound transatlantic crossing (including those extra 25-hour days), the endless live music, high-level enrichment lectures, traditional afternoon tea in the Queens Room, and how a dedicated transatlantic crossing differs entirely from a standard seasonal repositioning cruise. 🔔 Subscribe for more vlogs, travel tips, and more!
