Join ChicaGourmets! for an eleven-night cruise from Southampton which includes Scotland, Germany, the Netherlands and the Norwegian Fjords. You can be one of the first to experience an opulent new era in maritime travel aboard the largest, longest, tallest, widest and grandest ocean liner ever built! The Queen Mary 2 is so grand that the Queen herself will have christened her!

What makes her so grand? It's the White Star Service for which Cunard is world famous, as well as so many other ocean-going firsts. The QM2 has the first Canyon Ranch Spa at sea, the first Todd English restaurant, the first planetarium, the first Veuve Cliquot champagne bar, the first theater presenting performances by actors from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. And the list goes on....

Sign up and pay in full by November 30 and you will receive a $100 shipboard credit! You may use your credit toward any onboard service, such as a Canyon Ranch spa treatment, shore excursion or just about anything! Payment must be cash or check.

Mail the attached booking form and your check to Beverly Hills Travel and join ChicaGourmets members to reserve your place in history!

The maiden voyages of the QM2 will be the most sought after passages in the history of cruising. For her debut, Cunard has rolled out the red carpet and ChicaGourmets! invites you to join us in the festivities. On our way to the fjords, we visit Edinburgh. Walk along the Royal Mile to the fairy tale castle overlooking the Firth of Fourth. In Bergen, recall Norway’s Musical heritage with a visit to composer Edvard Grieg’s birthplace. From Alesund, QM2 enters the spectacular Geiranger Fjord, gliding through a spectacular scene of soaring cliffs and cascading waterfalls to the postcard-pretty village of Hellesylt. From Hamburg, travel to Berlin and walk through the Brandenburg Gate. Rotterdam is our window to Rembrandt’s cherished Dutch landscapes. Can you wait?

You could be one of the first to experience an opulent new era in maritime travel aboard the largest, longest, tallest, widest and grandest ocean liner ever built! So grand, she will be christened by the Queen herself!
