About Auckland
Auckland is called the City of Sails, and visitors flying in will see why. On the East Coast is the Waitemata Harbour—a Māori word meaning sparkling waters—which is bordered by the Hauraki Gulf, an aquatic playground peppered with small islands where many Aucklanders can be found "mucking around in boats."Not surprisingly, Auckland has some 70,000 boats. About one in four households in Auckland has a seacraft of some kind, and there are 102 beaches within an hour's drive; during the week many are quite empty. Even the airport is by the water; it borders the Manukau Harbour, which also takes its name from the Māori language and means solitary bird.According to Māori tradition, the Auckland isthmus was originally peopled by a race of giants and fairy folk. When Europeans arrived in the early 19th century, however, the Ngāti-Whātua tribe was firmly in control of the region. The British began negotiations with the Ngāti-Whātua in 1840 to purchase the isthmus and establish the colony's first capital. In September of that year the British flag was hoisted to mark the township's foundation, and Auckland remained the capital until 1865, when the seat of government was moved to Wellington. Aucklanders expected to suffer from the shift; it hurt their pride but not their pockets. As the terminal for the South Sea shipping routes, Auckland was already an established commercial center. Since then the urban sprawl has made this city of approximately 1.3 million people one of the world's largest geographically.A couple of days in the city will reveal just how developed and sophisticated Auckland is—the Mercer City Survey 2012 saw it ranked as the third-highest city for quality of life—though those seeking a New York in the South Pacific will be disappointed. Auckland is more get-up and go-outside than get-dressed-up and go-out. That said, most shops are open daily, central bars and a few nightclubs buzz well into the wee hours, especially Thursday through Saturday, and a mix of Māori, Pacific people, Asians, and Europeans contributes to the cultural milieu. Auckland has the world's largest single population of Pacific Islanders living outside their home countries, though many of them live outside the central parts of the city and in Manukau to the south. The Samoan language is the second most spoken in New Zealand. Most Pacific people came to New Zealand seeking a better life. When the plentiful, low-skilled work that attracted them dried up, the dream soured, and the population has suffered with poor health and education. Luckily, policies are now addressing that, and change is slowly coming. The Pacifica Festival in March is the region's biggest cultural event, attracting thousands to Western Springs. The annual Pacific Island Secondary Schools’ Competition, also in March, sees young Pacific Islander and Asian students compete in traditional dance, drumming, and singing. This event is open to the public.At the geographical center of Auckland city is the 1,082-foot Sky Tower, a convenient landmark for those exploring on foot and some say a visible sign of the city's naked aspiration. It has earned nicknames like the Needle and the Big Penis—a counterpoint to a poem by acclaimed New Zealand poet James K. Baxter, which refers to Rangitoto Island as a clitoris in the harbor.The Waitemata Harbour has become better known since New Zealand staged its first defense of the America's Cup in 2000 and the successful Louis Vuitton Pacific Series in early 2009. The first regatta saw major redevelopment of the waterfront. The area, where many of the city's most popular bars, cafés, and restaurants are located, is now known as Viaduct Basin or, more commonly, the Viaduct. A recent expansion has created another area, Wynyard Quarter, which is slowly adding restaurants.These days, Auckland is still considered too bold and brash for its own good by many Kiwis who live "south of the Bombay Hills," the geographical divide between Auckland and the rest of New Zealand (barring Northland). "Jafa," an acronym for "just another f—ing Aucklander," has entered the local lexicon; there's even a book out called Way of the Jafa: A Guide to Surviving Auckland and Aucklanders. A common complaint is that Auckland absorbs the wealth from the hard work of the rest of the country. Most Aucklanders, on the other hand, still try to shrug and see it as the parochial envy of those who live in small towns. But these internal identity squabbles aren't your problem. You can enjoy a well-made coffee in almost any café, or take a walk on a beach—knowing that within 30 minutes' driving time you could be cruising the spectacular harbor, playing a round at a public golf course, or even walking in subtropical forest while listening to the song of a native tûî bird.
About Tauranga
The population center of the Bay of Plenty, Tauranga is one of New Zealand's fastest-growing cities. Along with its neighbor, Whakatane, this seaside city claims to be one of the country's sunniest towns. Unlike most local towns, Tauranga doesn't grind to a halt in the off-season, because it has one of the busiest ports in the country, and the excellent waves at the neighboring beach resort of Mount Maunganui—just across Tauranga's harbor bridge—always draw surfers and holiday folk.
About Bay of Islands
The Tasman Sea on the west and the Pacific Ocean on the east meet at thetop of North Island at Cape Reinga. No matter what route you take, you'll passfarms and forests, marvellous beaches, and great open spaces. The East Coast,up to the Bay of Islands, is Northland's most densely populated, often withrefugees from bigger cities—looking for a more relaxed life—clustered aroundbreathtaking beaches. The first decision on the drive north comes at the footof the Brynderwyn Hills. Turning left will take you up the West Coast throughareas once covered with forests and now used for either agricultural orhorticulture. Driving over "the Brynderwyns," as they are known,takes you to Whangarei, the only city in Northland. If you're in the mood for adiversion, you can slip to the beautiful coastline and take in Waipu Cove, anarea settled by Scots, and Laings Beach, where million-dollar homes sit next tosmall Kiwi beach houses.An hour's drive farther north is the Bay of Islands, known all over theworld for its beauty. There you will find lush forests, splendid beaches, andshimmering harbors. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed here in 1840 betweenMāoriand the British Crown, establishing the basis for the modern New Zealandstate. Every year on February 6, the extremely beautiful Waitangi Treaty Ground(the name means weeping waters) is the sight of a celebration of the treaty andprotests by Māori unhappy with it. Continuing north on the East Coast, theagricultural backbone of the region is even more evident and a series ofwinding loop roads off the main highway will take you to beaches that are bothbeautiful and isolated where you can swim, dive, picnic, or just laze. .The West Coast is even less populated, and the coastline is rugged andwindswept. In the Waipoua Forest, you will find some of New Zealand's oldestand largest kauri trees; the winding road will also take you past mangroveswamps. Crowning the region is the spiritually significant Cape Reinga, theheadland at the top of the vast stretch of 90 Mile Beach, where it's believedMāori souls depart after death. Today Māori make up roughly a quarter of thearea's population (compared with the national average of about 15%). The legendaryMāori navigator Kupe was said to have landed on the shores of Hokianga Harbour,where the first arrivals made their home. Many different wi (tribes) livedthroughout Northland, including Ngapuhi (the largest), Te Roroa, Ngati Wai,Ngati Kuri, Te Aupouri, Ngaitakoto, Ngati Kahu, and Te Rarawa. Many Māoriherecan trace their ancestry to the earliest inhabitants
About Sydney, New South Wales
Sydney belongs to the exclusive club of cities that generate excitement. At the end of a marathon flight there's renewed vitality in the cabin as the plane circles the city, where thousands of yachts are suspended on the dark water and the sails of the Opera House glisten in the distance. Blessed with dazzling beaches and a sunny climate, Sydney is among the most beautiful cities on the planet.With 4.6 million people, Sydney is the biggest and most cosmopolitan city in Australia. A wave of immigration from the 1950s has seen the Anglo-Irish immigrants who made up the city's original population joined by Italians, Greeks, Turks, Lebanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thais, and Indonesians. This intermingling has created a cultural vibrancy and energy—and a culinary repertoire—that was missing only a generation ago.Sydneysiders embrace their harbor with a passion. Indented with numerous bays and beaches, Sydney Harbour is the presiding icon for the city, and urban Australia. Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the 11-ship First Fleet, wrote in his diary when he first set eyes on the harbor on January 26, 1788: "We had the satisfaction of finding the finest harbor in the world."Although a visit to Sydney is an essential part of an Australian experience, the city is no more representative of Australia than Los Angeles is of the United States. Sydney has joined the ranks of the great cities whose characters are essentially international. What Sydney offers is style, sophistication, and great looks—an exhilarating prelude to the continent at its back door.

The five course evening menu changes daily and features a tempting array of British and regional cuisine, from smoked salmon and spring lamb to Indonesian chicken and papaya salad.
The breakfast menu offers a variety of fresh juice, pastries and cereals as well as a full selection of hot favourites cooked to order. Lunch can be as simple or as extravagant as you like, with a four course menu of appetisers, salads and more substantial entrées like pasta classics or fragrant curries.
All meals here are included in your fare. When you book your voyage on a Cunard Fare, you'll be invited to select a dining option.

Visit the Britannia Restaurant in person to request a table, where you can choose to dine with your party or share a table with fellow guests. During peak times if your requested table size is not available, you will be offered a pager, so you can relax with a pre-dinner drink or perhaps take in some entertainment while you wait.
Alternatively, you can check availability via My Voyage, where you can book in advance or join a live virtual queue and keep track of how many people are ahead of you.
For breakfast and lunch, simply refer to your Daily Programme for opening times and visit the restaurant at your convenience.

Each day introduces a coveted line-up of à la carte dishes, complemented by an ‘always-available’ menu of appetisers, entrees, and desserts, executed with exemplary flair and finesse.
Alternatively, opt for one of our chef’s speciality sharing dishes (orderable in advance at breakfast or lunchtimes). From beef wellington to rack of lamb, the choice is truly indulgent. Each dish (along with select offerings on our menu) is finished and presented to you table-side, only heightening the sense of theatre that’s a signature of Queens Grill dining.
Dining at the Queens Grill restaurant is exclusive to Queens Grill guests and included within your Cunard fare. The restaurant operates relaxed dress by day and smart attire (jacket optional) for dinner service after 6.00pm, except on Gala Evenings when we invite you to dress in black tie.
Gluten free and vegetarian dishes are available. If you have any food allergies or other dietary requirements, please inform us by phone after booking your voyage. Find out more about dietary requirements on board.
Complimentary Room Service
Delicious, freshly prepared food delivered direct to your stateroom with our compliments.
Whether you’re craving a leisurely breakfast in bed, or you simply don’t feel like leaving your stateroom for dinner, make the most of our generous room service menu at least once during your voyage.
Starting the day gazing at the seascape from the comfort of your private balcony is only enhanced by ordering fresh coffee and your favourite breakfast. Or, after a busy day exploring in port, know that you have the option to simply shower, change, and stay in and order food. You can even call in the middle of the night if you’ve woken up feeling peckish, and we will happily oblige.
If you’re a Grills guest, you can also order from the full Princess Grill or Queens Grill menu.
Room service is included in your fare. Breakfast must be pre-ordered the night before, but you can expect food throughout the rest of the day to be delivered around 30-40 minutes after placing an order.
Gluten free and vegetarian dishes are available. If you have any other dietary requirements, please inform us by phone after booking your voyage. Find out more about dietary requirements on board.
A breath of fresh air
From a morning swim as the sun climbs the sky or lazy lunches on deck, to a walk with a view or a film under a blanket of stars, Queen Anne’s pools, bars, al fresco eateries, and wide-open deck spaces connect you with the great outdoors like never before.
With a choice of inspiring outdoor destinations to discover, each with its own distinctive look and feel, spending time in the open air on Queen Anne provides plenty of moments to remember. Lose yourself in an unputdownable holiday read in the calming oasis of The Pavilion, savour elevated ocean views from the Sky Bar, or unwind to the sounds of a live band at the Panorama Pool Club.
In addition to these vibrant signature spaces, feel inspired by the feeling of walking on air with aft deck corners that extend out, offering a unique view of the ship and sea. Take in a full lap alongside the water’s edge on deck 3, find time to explore the wellness studio with top deck sea views – perfect for practising yoga at sea - and enjoy the Cabana bar for holiday cocktails and deck games. Meanwhile, the Grills Terrace, exclusive to guests of our Princess and Queens Grill Suites, is equipped with infinity hot tubs and luxurious deck facilities, offering the perfect outdoor retreat.

Swimming Pools
Indulge in a refreshing dip in one of the several pools and whirlpools on offer.
Whichever ship you decide on you can choose from a refreshing variety of pools and whirlpools - each heated to just the right temperature. Queen Mary 2 offers two outdoor pools and her Pavilion Pool has a retractable roof so you can enjoy a dip whatever the weather. In addition, there's the Minnows Pool for kids and her luxurious Spa Pool is a treat. Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth on the other hand offer 2 spacious outdoor pools as well as a hydrotherapy pool in their spas.
The Pavilion
This relaxed poolside bar is a Cunard staple on each of our ships: the perfect place to lie back in the sunshine with an ice-cold drink.
On leisurely sea days, there can be few better ways to pass the time than relaxing by the pool, with your choice of warming sun or soothing shade. Serving a full menu of wines, spirits, soft drinks, beers, and cocktails, all freshly made and hand-delivered to your sun lounger, the Pavilion bar is guaranteed to help you ease into the unique rhythm of a Cunard voyage, no matter where in the world you find yourself.
