The cunard
Grills
O
nce, long ago, when leisure travel was an
exclusive experience available only to the luckiest
few, the most elite passengers mingled in the salons and ballrooms of grandly appointed ocean liners, discussing politics, economics, or a performance by the latest opera diva or polo star. These fortunate guests sipped Champagne, dined extravagantly, danced and delighted in a world — in a time — that seemed enchanted. And for those days at sea, on that ship, they revelled in an adventure that was the epitome of privileged vacationing.
That world still exists today...

Y
ou deserve to experience this. “Please, allow me,”
a butler* says as he takes your bag and opens the door to your suite. What a perfect introduction to the regally exclusive world of The Grills. For those discerning few accustomed to the finest things in life — or for those looking for a once-in-a lifetime adventure in luxury — there simply is no other way to travel. The renowned accommodation of
The Grills on Queen Mary 2,
Queen Victoria and the newest Cunard royal, Queen Elizabeth, represents the pinnacle in personal service and rich amenities for which Cunard is known. You’ll notice it everywhere, in each shimmering detail — the wonderful Champagne served in Waterford crystal, the marvellous fresh flowers and fine linens in your splendid suite, the club-like dining rooms and private lounges, and the charmed smiles on the faces of your fellow privileged Grill guests. This is the way royalty, heads of state and celebrities have vacationed for well over a century and a half. And it’s still the standard for extraordinary sophistication today. Choose The Grills, and luxuriate in pure extravagance.
Clark Gable, Jackie Onassis and David Niven brought glamour to the decks of Cunard liners in days gone by. Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington filled their ballrooms with song. Tennessee Williams sat on their decks and wrote. And Winston Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower entertained the most important minds of the time in their salons. *Butler available for Queens Grill guests only.

S
avour a world fit for royalty. What is a day like for
the guest of Cunard’s Grills? Let us paint a picture for you. From sunrise to starry night, your every desire is catered to by a staff whose only goal is to pamper you lavishly with legendary White Star Service. Consider your attentive butler,* awaiting your call to unpack bags or make dinner reservations. Or the concierge, who considers each wish his command. In your own exquisite restaurant, sommeliers and waitstaff attend to your every request, while the chef sends out delectable dishes composed like a symphony, or à la carte specialities prepared to your specific tastes. And if there’s something special you’d like that you don’t see on the menu, just ask — they’ll be pleased to oblige. There’s even a Pillow Concierge Menu with nine types of pillows, ensuring every dream will be golden. Yes, indulging in The Grills Experience is unquestionably one of life’s greatest pleasures, available to but a privileged few Grill guests. Of course, why work so hard if not to be able to treat yourself to such refined rewards now and then?
Through the ages, the world’s most celebrated guests have lived The Grills Experience onboard. During The Golden Age of Ocean Travel, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were among Cunard’s most revered guests. Up to 150 pieces of monogrammed Louis Vuitton luggage signalled their arrival. They enjoyed the company of film stars, authors and playwrights, and the Duke often stayed late on the bridge chatting with the Captain. *Butler available for Queens Grill guests only.

A
n adventure in possibility. When your hostess is a
grand Cunard liner, the possibilities for each day onboard are as wide as the sea. Beyond the walls of your lovely suite, a magnificent ocean liner full of opportunities awaits. Engage your mind with the stimulating lectures and classes that our enrichment programmes offer. Bask in the afterglow of an invigorating Ayurvedic massage. Savour tea from a Wedgwood china cup and scones at Afternoon Tea, or relish a perfect martini as a string quartet soothes you with Mozart in the lobby. Each evening unfolds like a scene from a classic movie, except you’re the star — waltzing the grand dance floor in the Queens Room at a Royal Nights ball, or indulging in the ritzy glamour of a European-style casino. As a Grills guest, you are part of a private world of extraordinary indulgence. But being on The Most Famous Ocean Liners In The World
means you have a vast array of space, amenities and activities to enjoy. It is this unlimited potential for enjoyment, available only from an ocean liner this majestic, that most defines your journey with Cunard.
In The Golden Age of Ocean Travel, the most distinguished of guests stepped from their suites to wander the halls of the great Cunard liners, bound for an afternoon practising their golf swing on deck, or an evening of lighthearted theatre or gaming in the casino. Some things never change...

Unforgettable 7
Queens Grill Accommodation This is truly a ship of dreams. The grandest ocean liner ever, Queen Mary 2 impresses with trademark Cunard sophistication combined with an ultimate extravagance of activities and entertainment. And her Queens Grill accommodation is among the most lavish at sea. While Queens Grill options on Queen Mary 2 range from spacious suites to the positively palatial duplexes, the amenities are extensive and begin before you even board — with priority check-in and embarkation. From there, step into a world of pampering, where a private butler caters to your every whim, where private lounges and a Queens Grills-only sun deck invite a Champagne toast, or an afternoon curled up with a good novel.

Queens Grill Restaurant Dining transcends mere eating and becomes a celebration in the single-seating Queens Grill on Queen Mary 2. Stop first at the exclusive Queens Grill Lounge for a cocktail with your fellow Grill guests. Then, let the pageantry begin. Begin with a glass of Champagne in a glorious Waterford crystal flute. Surely, the creations of the European-trained chefs in the Queens Grill will rival anything you’ve had on land. Course after course of delectable specialities arrive from the creative à la carte menu. Savour, perhaps, a cream of asparagus soup, followed by Parma prosciutto, then duck a l’orange, herb-crusted halibut or even a rib-eye prepared to your specifications. Let our expert sommeliers suggest just the right wine pairing for your dinner from the largest wine cellar afloat. Dessert and a cappuccino end a perfect feast, and send you into the night dreaming of all that tomorrow holds in store.

Princess Grill Restaurant The everyday pleasure of dining is raised to a fine art in the Princess Grill Restaurant on Queen Mary 2. You arrive each evening glowing — perhaps recalling last night’s feast, or in anticipation of the dinner to come. You will not be disappointed. The waiter remembers your name as you take your seat, and leads you through the evening’s offerings. A candle flickers softly on the table, speaking of the night’s promise. All around you, smartly dressed guests at other tables laugh and converse about this wonderful experience, much as they have on Cunard liners for ages. Then the dishes begin to arrive at the table, and exceed even the waiter’s description. At the meal’s end, you enjoy a glass of vintage port and some chilled fresh fruit. In all, an evening of the most refined pleasures. And best of all, there are more just like it to come.
