Transatlantic crossing from Southampton to New York

Queen Mary 2 with Abbey Road recording studio on board from 23 October to 30 October 2026

The musical highlight

On this special cruise, you can experience musical highlights from the Abbey Road recording studio. A variety of music programmes await you on board.

During the week-long transatlantic crossing, you can look forward to live performances by artists associated with Abbey Road, a photo exhibition and personal conversations with Abbey Road sound engineers, who will provide exciting insights into the creativity, innovation and international significance of the studio. Abbey Road in London is one of the most famous recording studios in the world and has been the venue for many special productions.

For over 90 years, its doors have been open to artists who continue to shape pop culture to this day. Even great film classics would be different without Abbey Road: countless soundtracks have been created here over the last 45 years.
