DINING BEYOND YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
PRECISELY WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM CUNARD.

Dining has always been the premier event of any Cunard voyage, a gustatory celebration where superb culinary creations are proudly served by waiters trained in the fine art of Cunard White Star Service™. Clearly, lavish dining is the centerpiece of the QM2 experience, as well - with vastly expanded menus and venues.

There are 10 restaurants in all, a team of chefs that includes culinary advisor Daniel Boulud, one of the world's most famous chefs, and the celebrated Mediterranean and TV culinary luminary Todd English. As with the custom of ocean liners in the past, each QM2 stateroom is matched with a reserved table at a sea-view restaurant, complemented by the largest wine selection afloat. Of course, you can always make reservations at one of the many optional dining alternatives. Or don't dine out - dine in! Room service is available 24 hours a day.

If you're staying in one of the
Q categories, savor the sublime creations of the Queens Grill, or the Princess Grill for P category guests. Cunard's Grill restaurants have been long acclaimed by food critics as the finest dining experience at sea.
Make a grande descente down the sweeping stairway of the splendid, 3-story Britannia Restaurant, reminiscent of the opulent dining salons of the past.

Practical answers

Plan with confidence

How can I plan dining when cruising alone?

Tell Deluxe Cruises whether you prefer a private table, shared dining or flexible mealtimes. Ask which arrangements apply on the ship and sailing you are considering; the original descriptions below may reflect earlier programs.

Can these menus or dietary arrangements be guaranteed?

No. Treat menus and named venues as reference material. Confirm any dietary requirements, special preparation, reservations or additional charges for your departure before booking.
