- Sailing home on Queen Mary 2
- Cunard’s westbound crossings take seven nights from Southampton to New York. Fly over in business class and sail home — we price the one-way flight.
- Arrive a day early
- Transatlantic flights are overnight and land in the morning. Arrive the day before embarkation: it absorbs a delay, beats jet lag, and most lines start boarding around midday.
