"CAROL MARLOW SPEAKS" - - Cunard
President Carol Marlow's remarks to the Cornell
Club of New York on Cunard, QE2, QM2 and
QUEEN VICTORIA
"Artist To The Queens" - - a profile of artist
Giancarlo Impiglia whose commissioned works are
on QE2, QM2 and will be on QUEEN VICTORIA.
Cunard is one of the oldest and most venerable names in the
passenger ship industry. It was the first line to do regularly
scheduled transatlantic service beginning in 1840. Since then,
Cunard has operated a series of ships that not only were famous in
their own times but which have become legends including
LUSITANIA, QUEEN MARY, QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 and
now QUEEN MARY 2.
Very mindful of this heritage, the Cunard ships of today seek to
provide a sophisticated ocean going experience. Rooted in
tradition, there are many aspects of a Cunard voyage that are
reminiscent of the "Golden Age of Ocean Travel." However, these
ships are not pastiches of a bygone era. They are full of modern
amenities and have grown with the times.
Passengers on a Cunard voyage tend to be sophisticated and
well-educated. They seek an atmosphere that is more attuned to
intellectual and cultural pursuits rather than physical activity or
partying.


"THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE LUSITANIA" - - In May
1915, a German submarine sank the pride of the Cunard
Fleet, the liner LUSITANIA. This tragedy set in motion
events that led to America's entry into World War I, thus
changing the course of world events.
