Cunard`s celebrated flagship Queen Mary 2 returns to New York on April 10 after completing her maiden World Cruise and will be based in the Big Apple for the next 18 months, significantly expanding her New York service offering more Transatlantic Crossings, weekend getaways and Caribbean adventures as the company stated.

Queen Mary 2 is proud to call New York her North American home, said Carol Marlow, president of Cunard Line. With this expanded schedule of sailings, we`re making it easier than ever to sail from New York to the Caribbean, the Bahamas, the Mediterranean and even Norway this year, without the burden of traveling to another city for departure.
