Description: London to New York using Cunard's Queen Mary 2 from Southampton to New York, showing ship, cabin, restaurants, bars, food & arrival into New York past the Statue of Liberty. How much does it cost? How to buy tickets? See seat61.com/queen-mary-2-transatlantic.htm The Atlantic crossing took 7 nights. We paid £1,200 per person including accommodation & all meals - not that much more than the £900 pp I was quoted online for an open-jaw economy class flight Heathrow to Toronto & Vancouver to Heathrow. After reaching New York, we took a train to Canada, youtube.com/watch?v=Mh4xPUPvfAk Then crossed Canada by train to Vancouver, youtube.com/watch?v=Wtta28H4u4A&t=4s Then by bus and ferry to Victoria B.C., for tea at the Empress Hotel. 7,000 miles for a cup of tea...
