Homeward Across the Atlantic — Captain’s Daily Briefings | Queen Mary 2 New York to Southampton
A west-to-east transatlantic crossing aboard Queen Mary 2, experienced entirely through the voice of the ship’s Master. On this November 2025 voyage from New York to Southampton, each day at sea is marked by Captain Aseem Hashmi’s daily noon briefings — weather, navigation decisions, nautical language, and the quiet rhythm of ocean travel. No presenter, no commentary — just the passage across the Atlantic as it unfolded on board the last true ocean liner. This film forms the return crossing companion to the outbound voyage. Together they show how the same ocean feels completely different depending on direction of travel. While this sailing hosted Transatlantic Fashion Week, here it remains part of the background life of the ship. A separate sister film shows the full onboard experience including events, talks and performances. ▶ Outbound crossing (Southampton → New York): https://youtu.be/6IHK2z1Ad0U ▶ Full voyage experience incl.
