Sie ist 3 ½ Fußballfelder lang und wiegt mehr als 150.000 Tonnen. Die Queen Mary 2. Mit dem Ozeanriesen der Extraklasse wollte die britische Reederei Cunard vor 20 Jahren in puncto Größe, Technik und Ausstattung alles übertreffen, was bis dahin jemals zu Wasser gelassen wurde.

Ocean liners, the majestic hotels of the sea, have never been built just for humans. Since their invention in 1840, they have accommodated many other species. In the early days, the animals who voyaged were fresh food for human passengers, so they didn't quite complete the crossing. But that changed around the turn of the century, when passengers started asking to bring their pets on the trip. Shipping operators figured out how to let companion animals make themselves at home at sea. The most memorable ocean liner, the Titanic, was perhaps the most infamous of the ships to accommodate pets. She left Southampton for her maiden voyage with over 2000 passengers and crew … and twelve dogs on board. The dogs lived in luxury for a few days … until the ship hit the iceberg. What happened to the dogs? Ian Murphy at Liverpool's Maritime Museum and Janette McCutcheon, author of several books about ocean liners, tell us about each … including an incredible tale of owner loyalty. Make sure you have your handkerchief in hand! By the 1930's, ships were attracting movie stars, businesspeople, and other wealthy and glamorous passengers. And yes, they wanted their animals with them on the crossing. Who were the crew members tasked with looking after the dogs? Today only one ocean liner is left in service: the Queen Mary 2. Perhaps it's the law of supply and demand that explains why the wait list for kenneled passengers is two years … but is it waning supply, or increasing demand? Humans choose to cross on Queen Mary 2 for a variety of reasons, from cost savings to phobia avoidance to health concerns. We speak to passengers who've made the trip and report how their dogs liked being on ship in a confined space with a strict diet. Was it a floating spa, or something … else?

Our Anthropology Dept. decided to study cruises and cruising to see if there was a distinct society onboard some of the world's most popular ships. Recorded on Cunard's ocean liner, Queen Mary 2, in the midst of the turbulent North Sea, the attraction of cruising is revealed to be a very primal one. You'll never see cruising in the same light again.

Nach rund 20 Monaten Corona-Pause ist die Queen Mary 2 wieder unterwegs. Wir waren auf ihrer ersten Kurzreise von Southampton nach Cherbourg dabei und sprechen in dieser Episode darüber, wie sich die Queen Mary 2 jetzt präsentiert und wie gut die Einhaltung von Corona-Regeln auf dem Schiff funktioniert, obwohl es kaum spürbare Hinweise darauf gibt. Wir sprechen über das besondere Image des einzigen richtigen Oceanliners auf den Weltmeeren, das elegante und eher formelle Ambiente an Bord, über Luxus-Features, Suiten und Champagner-Afternoon-Tea, aber beispielsweise auch über den Pflegezustand der Queen Mary 2 nach so langer Aufliegezeit. Außerdem beschäftigen wir uns ausführlich mit dem Essen an Bord. In der „After Show“ zu dieser Podcast-Episode (exklusiv für unsere Unterstützer) sprechen wir über weitere Aspekte der Queen Mary 2, insbesondere über den elegant-formellen Dress-Code, Spa-Anwendungen sowie Reise-Routen und Preise.

A cruise on this ship is like no other.

Diese Folge vom Stars at Sea - Podcast wurde erstmals live vor 1.000 Passagieren im Royal Court Theatre der Queen Mary 2 produziert. Gäste sind Stargeiger David Garrett, sein Manager Jörg Kollenbroich und der Küchenchef der Queen Mary 2, Klaus Kremer. Stars at Sea - Gründer Uwe Bahn ist wie immer der Gastgeber. Diese Stars at Sea - Cruise vom 27.10. bis 01.11.2019 führte von Hamburg über die norwegischen Städte Oslo und Stavanger zurück in die Hansestadt. Es war bereits die 5. Stars at Sea - Tour auf der Queen Mary 2. David Garrett spielte drei Konzerte an Bord, war Gast in zwei Talkshows und gab eine Autogrammstunde - in diesem Fall vier Stunden - für alle 2.600 Gäste! Im Stars at Sea - Podcast spricht er nicht nur über das Leben an Bord, sondern auch seine Lebenseinstellung. Er erzählt, wie er völlig übermüdet in eine abstruse Zollfahndung geriet , bei einem Berliner Konzert mitten ins Fettnäpfchen trat und warum er ein besonderes Tattoo auf der Innenseite seines Armes hat. Die lockerere, besondere Atmosphäre dieser Reise ist auch in diesem Gespräch deutlich spürbar. Sponsor dieser Folge ist das Hotel Cort in Palma de Mallorca. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/Stars-at-sea/message

In der heutigen Kreuzfahrt-Podcast Folge gibt es die neuesten News aus der Kreuzfahrtwelt. Mitunter geht es um David Garrett den Geigen-Meister der wieder auf Kreuzfahrt mit Queen Mary 2 ist, Tallink Silja, AIDA Cruises, Mein Schiff uvm.

Wir sind mit der Queen Mary 2 von Southampton nach New York gefahren. In dieser Podcast-Episode berichten wir vom "Crossing", sprechen aber vor allem über die Queen Mary 2 und ihre Besonderheiten. Als einziger echter Ocean Liner auf den Weltmeeren hat die Queen Mary 2 eine gewisse Sonderstellung unter den Kreuzfahrtschiffen. Sie verbringt einen großen Teil des Jahres auf der Strecke Southampton - New York und zurück, oft auch zusätzlich mit Verlängerung nach Hamburg und fährt ansonsten eine große Weltreise sowie einzelne Kreuzfahrten zum Beispiel nach Norwegen oder Neuengland. Da die "QM2" speziell für die regelmäßigen Überquerungen des Nordatlantik gebaut ist, auch zu Jahreszeiten mit eher unruhigem Wetter, unterscheidet sie sich nicht nur in ihrer Architektur von anderen Kreuzfahrtschiffen. Auch das Entertainment an Bord ist ein wenig anders. Schließlich gibt es auf sechs Seetagen in Folge mehr Bedarf an Unterhaltung und Abwechslung als auf einer Kreuzfahrt mit fast täglichen Hafenstopps. Wir stellen die Queen Mary 2 in dieser Podcast-Episode im Detail vor, sprechen unter anderem über das sehr elegante Ambiente und den - zumindest abends - ziemlich strengen Dresscode, über Essen und Entertainment und die großzügigen Außenbereiche inklusive umlaufender, breiter Promenade mit Holzboden.

The Queen Mary 2 has lived many lives. At one time it ferried the rich and famous around the world in unbelievable luxury, then just a few years later it would carry tens of thousands of US troops to Europe to fight in WW2. So maybe unsurprisingly those who visit it today in Long Beach, California report seeing and hearing terrifying paranormal apparitions. Does the boats reputation precede it, or are these real phenomena?

Watch as Cunard Line remasters its flagship Queen Mary 2 ocean liner in drydock before relaunching.

Cunard Line is set to redesign its Queen Mary 2 flagship during an extensive 25-day dry-dock refurbishment starting on May 27, 2016, and its new design inspiration is coming from the original Queen Mary ocean liner before her as illustrated in this video.

This week Travel Today with Peter Greenberg comes from Cunard’s flagship, the R.M.S. Queen Mary 2, or QM2. This is a Transatlantic ocean liner, and the only liner in service between South Hampton and New York. Equal in height to a 23-story building and nearly four football fields in length, QM2 is unmatched in her class and is the last such liner to be built since 1969. But don’t let her size fool you. A Transatlantic crossing is a luxurious experience for reasons that go beyond the obvious. Richard Meadows, President of Cunard North America, stops by to expound on why an on-board experience is unforgettable and Commodore Ronald Warwick talks about his 36 years with Cunard and his favorite ports. There’s all of this and more on this week’s episode of Travel Today with Peter Greenberg.

Ein Anlauf der Queen Mary 2 in Hamburg ist jedes Mal ein Großereignis, das Flaggschiff der Cunard Line umweht fast schon so etwas wie ein Mythos. Zurück von einer Kurzreise auf der Queen Mary 2 von Southampton nach Hamburg unterhalten wir uns in Folge 7 des cruisetricks.de Kreuzfahrt-Podcasts über die Queen Mary 2. Auf die Queen Mary 2 haben wir unsere etwas eigene Sicht. Nur so viel sei vorweggenommen: Wir riskieren die "Majestätsbeleidugung", denn wir fanden längst nicht alles nur gut auf dem Cunard-Schiff. Etwas ganz Besonderes ist die QM2 aber trotzdem. Was uns gefallen hat und was weniger, darüber sprechen wir im Podcast ausführlich. Also gleich mal reinhören - und gerne auch hier via Kommentar mitdiskutieren. Nebenbei kommt auch das Thema Pod-Antrieb vs. feststehende Schiffsschraube zur Sprache. Wir diskutieren über Vibrationen, Manövrierfähigkeit, Vor- und Nachteile der beiden Antriebsformen. Das zweite Schwerpunkt-Thema in dieser Folge: Der Flieger hat Verspätung oder man kommt zu spät zurück vom Landgang ... Was passiert eigentlich, wenn man das Kreuzfahrtschiff verpasst? Tipps und Strategien, wie man auf der sicheren Seite ist.
