Three cruises and one escorted tour add up to the trip of a lifetime!

Iconic crossings and Bermuda cruise, plus an east Coast tour including niagara Falls

-

Aseven-day transatlan­tic crossing is a chance to escape into an utterly relaxing new world of pleasure and delight.

Most of all it s an invitation to make a unique and dramatic arrival into new york, the world s most exciting city, where the statue of Liberty, empire state Building and much more await.

and that s not the end of it, as a voyage across the atlantic on the world s most famous ocean liner can now be combined with a sevenday escorted tour, including niagara Falls — and then a fantastic cruise from new york to Bermuda, before rejoining Queen Mary 2 to sail home.

Itinerarie­s that combine luxurious sailings with a land tour are the latest thing in cruising, making for truly unforgetta­ble holidays of a lifetime.

Carefully sourced and packaged, they provide a chance to travel for a longer duration without stress — with no airport to negotiate and no restrictio­ns on the weight of your bag.

It s a new, rewarding and completely different way of holidaying, offered by just a few companies, including Cruise1st — whose latest exciting 29-day itinerary, released only yesterday, starts in southampto­n, where Cunard’s glamorous flagship welcomes you aboard for one of cruising s most iconic experience­s.

as the boundless ocean surrounds you, surrender to the rhythms of dining, discovery, mingling and relaxing. ahead lies uninterrup­ted ocean and days filled with music, dancing, laughter and priceless moments that will stay with you for years to come.

afternoon tea served by white-gloved waiters, a Thai massage, a planetariu­m show, learning to cha-cha — they are just a few of the many pleasures of life at sea. and on Cunard it goes without saying that the food, drink and service are of the highest quality.

WASHINGTON AND NEW YORK

WHEN combining a crossing with a land tour, you ll be met by your own tour director and be taken first by modern, air-conditione­d coach to historic Philadelph­ia, where the declaratio­n of Independen­ce and the Constituti­on of the United states were both signed. Continuing on day two to Washington DC, you will see the White House, the supreme Court and the Capitol, the seat of the U.s. Congress.

you will also be able to explore the broad Mall with its impressive monuments to presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Franklin d. Roosevelt.

On day three, the tour crosses through the states of Massachuse­tts and new york to stunning niagara Falls for a twonight stay.

One of the world s most captivatin­g sights, the mighty falls provide the thrill of a lifetime when you sail close to the cascading water on a Hornblower cruise, as pictured. next it s Manhattan, where the city that never sleeps is yours to enjoy for three nights as you tour Times square, Fifth avenue, the empire state Building, Greenwich village, Little Italy and Chinatown.

you ll be wowed by new york. and there s more of this stunning city to come, as you join the five-star Celebrity summit at Cape Liberty and sail out past Lower Manhattan and the statue of Liberty, bound for Bermuda. On board, it s soon time to settle back with a cocktail and enjoy the intimate surroundin­gs, as your ship continues south to the port of Kings Wharf in beautiful Bermuda.

sugar-soft, pink sand beaches and manicured golf courses overlookin­g the sea await you here — along with the perfect balance of formality and joie de vivre.

during three days here, you ll see priceless Chinese porcelain salvaged from shipwrecks on display in the national Museum, and enjoy fantastic shopping, stunning night skies and crystal caves, where clear blue waters meet breathtaki­ng stalagmite­s and stalactite­s.

Back in Cape Liberty on day 22, it s time to wave a fond farewell to Celebrity summit and embrace Queen Mary 2 for your relaxing seven-night voyage to southampto­n.

With no stress, airport queues or baggage weight restrictio­ns, this seamless holiday offers pure, unadultera­ted bliss across two continents, making beautiful memories.
