A transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2 for under £600 per person is rare enough to warrant a close look, particularly when it's all-inclusive and timed for the American Independence Day celebrations in New York.
The deal
Seven nights aboard Cunard's Queen Mary 2, departing Southampton on 26 June 2026 and arriving in New York on 3 July 2026. Price is £579 per person (based on two adults sharing), all-inclusive of meals, entertainment and accommodation—alcohol excluded. That's £1,158 for the pair.
Why we like it
Transatlantic crossings on this ship don't come cheap, and summer sailings are pricier still. This is genuinely the lowest we've seen advertised for a QM2 summer crossing in recent memory. You get proper ocean liner experience—not a turnaround cruise—with five days at sea each way, plus arrival timed to catch New York's 4 July festivities. All-inclusive pricing removes guesswork on food and entertainment costs.
The catch: alcohol isn't covered (a drink package will cost extra), and you're paying for the prestige and novelty of the Queen Mary 2 herself, not a bargain beach resort. June 2026 is also over a year away, so this is genuinely advance planning.
How to book
Head to Cunard's site and search the Southampton to New York crossing for late June 2026. You'll want to verify the exact cabin grade, check current availability, and confirm what "all-inclusive" covers on their terms—sometimes these deals have asterisks. If the price has moved, you'll see it straight away.
