Queen Mary 2
Queen Mary 2, QM2, It was a more civilized era, the golden age of sea travel.
Crossing the ocean was a grand event unto itself, the very embodiment of sophistication and privilege. And traveling Cunard was what one naturally chose for such a voyage.
Qm2 Cunard’s glorious ocean liners were floating palaces of art deco splendor and Edwardian excess, surrounding guests with every comfort and luxury.
The Kennedy Center Chamber Players
