Cunard is giving travellers the chance to win a place on Queen Mary 2‘s historic 450th Transatlantic Crossing this November, as the world’s only ocean liner prepares for another milestone voyage between Southampton and New York.

The sweepstakes is open until July 31, 2026, with the prize winner and a guest receiving a place on the seven-night crossing departing Southampton on November 10, along with flights, hotel accommodation in Southampton and port transfers.

Liz Fettes, Cunard Senior Vice President Commercial North America and Australasia, said the milestone felt especially meaningful given the broader anniversary celebrations.

“As we prepare to participate in America’s 250th anniversary celebration, it feels especially meaningful to also celebrate Queen Mary 2‘s upcoming 450th crossing. This milestone is a testament to the 186 years of history, connection and unforgettable voyages across the Atlantic,” Ms Fettes said.

The announcement also marks another significant moment for Cunard, with July 4 marking the anniversary of the line’s very first crossing, when RMS Britannia departed Liverpool for Boston in 1840. On the same date this year, Queen Mary 2 will join Sail4th 250 in New York Harbor, celebrating America’s 250th anniversary alongside the largest international flotilla of tall ships and naval vessels ever assembled.
