Mediterranean Cruise: QE2 Jewels

The famous Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) will make a 15-day "Jewels of the Mediterranean" cruise from June 10 to June 25, 2005. It departs from Southampton (England) and makes port in Vigo (Spain), Palermo (Italy), Trieste (Italy), Dubrovnik (Croatia), Corfu (Greece), Valleta (Malta), and Lisbon (Portugal) before returning to Southampton. Prices start at $2,399.

Imagine a floating palace where the pleasures are unmatched; where royalty, millionaires and film stars have strolled the gleaming teak decks while savoring the earth's most dramatic panoramas. Welcome aboard the one and only Queen Elizabeth 2. Thanks to a refurbishment from bow to stern, she is uniquely prepared to pamper you with the utmost contemporary comfort.

Whether you prefer days of leisure or stimulating activities, Queen Elizabeth 2 accommodates extravagantly. Enjoy a variety of concerts, films and talks. Indulge in swimming and aerobics - or soothing treatments at the spa or stroll among the Royal Promenade boutiques. Later, linger over cocktails in the Crystal Bar or the Queens Grill Lounge before sitting down to feast on QE2's culinary rituals - from a simple spa lunch on deck or cream cakes and Darjeeling at tea time, to casual meals in the Lido, or the gourmet fare in one of the formal restaurants.

Ascend to the Sun Deck Bar, where the views span the horizon. Applaud the piano player in the Chart Room or take a seat in the Grand Lounge, where a Broadway style is about to premier. Dance to the accompaniment of the orchestra in the Queens Room, toast the sunset in the Yacht Club, raise your voice in song in the Golden Lion Pub, or perhaps Lady Luck will entice you to the Casino.
