The Onboard Experience

Daytime Activities

Pools and Jacuzzis
Each ship offers a refreshing variety of pools and whirlpools that are heated to just the right temperature. Queen Mary 2 has two outdoor pools and a Pavilion Pool with a retractable roof that allows for swimming in any weather. There is also the Minnows Pool for kids and a luxurious Spa Pool. Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth offer two spacious outdoor pools as well as a hydrotherapy pool in the spa area.

Dance Classes
Whether you're a beginner or seeking to perfect your steps, you'll have an opportunity to join a variety of dance classes. Available on voyages of seven nights or more, classes are led by coupled instructors and feature ballroom as well as Latin and line dance.

Art Classes
A day at sea is an ideal time to indulge in the joys of art.  You can enjoy classes, seminars and discussions led by well-known artists and art historians. Complimentary art classes are available on all cruises that have full sea days, with kits available for a nominal fee.

Indoor Games
Doing what you enjoy most is a big part of the Cunard experience. Games enthusiasts will find plenty of options, from popular board games to traditional favorites such as cards, Mahjong, backgammon and chess. Or, you may prefer a game of darts in the Golden Lion pub. On sea days, consider Bridge lessons for beginners or experienced players. Also, the many social games held on board, such as pub trivia, are a great way to meet new friends.

Shopping and Galleries
Elegant boutiques offer a chance for some exceptional shopping of all kinds, from fashion and luxury accessories to books and fine art. Find the perfect souvenir for loved ones at home or perhaps a little something for yourself. Browse the Clarendon Fine Art Gallery, where you can expand your own collection or simply enjoy a rotating selection of carefully selected pieces.

Massage Treatments

Try the R3 Total Body Therapy to target specific ailments or perhaps the Thai Herbal Poultice Massage that uses medicinal herbs to complement healing compression.
