The Queen Mary: Champagne Brunch & Legendary Ship Tour

Board the grandest ocean liner of the golden age of travel — the legendary RMS Queen Mary — for a champagne brunch in her Art Deco salons and a self-guided exploration of her storied decks. A once-in-a-lifetime step back into the most glamorous era of transatlantic voyaging.

What to expect

You'll explore three decks of original staterooms, the magnificent first-class pool, engine room catwalks, and the bridge — all meticulously preserved. The Grand Salon's Sunday brunch is a lavish spread of carved meats, seafood, pastries, and flowing champagne beneath original Art Deco chandeliers. Docents throughout the ship share captivating stories of wartime troop transport, royal voyages, and Hollywood glamour.
