More Interesting Facts:
- In 1839, Queen Victoria awarded Samuel
Cunard the first ever licence to deliver mail
across the Atlantic, proudly granting his steam
ship the honoured title RMS (Royal Mail
Steamer). In 2004 RMS (Royal Mail Ship) Queen
Mary 2 was awarded this privileged title and
continues to celebrate this golden heritage.
- Queen Mary 2’s kennel programme is
available on all crossings between New York and
Southampton in either direction, and is overseen
by a full-time Kennel Master who takes care of
responsibilities such as feeding, walking and
cleaning the ship’s 12 spacious kennels.
Travelling dogs and cats also receive a
complimentary gift pack and other animal
amenities.The kennels and adjacent indoor and
outdoor walking areas are open throughout the
day, enabling passengers to spend significant
time with their pet. Reservations for the
kennels may be made at time of booking, and are
based on space availability. Contact Cunard for
fees and additional requirements.
