Transatlantic crossing from Southampton to New York

English National Ballet aboard Queen Mary 2

16 July - 23 July 2027

The Artistic Highlight
‘Dance the Atlantic’ with English National Ballet

From 16 to 23 July 2027, Queen Mary 2 becomes a stage for the renowned English National Ballet as she crosses the Atlantic from Southampton to New York.

The British ballet company presents a programme that extends far beyond its performances in the ship’s Royal Court Theatre.

Look forward to excerpts from celebrated classical ballets, contemporary choreography and new works.

During the seven-night crossing, you will also gain insights into the daily lives of the dancers. Watch morning ballet classes and rehearsals, and learn more about the preparation behind the performances and life in an internationally renowned ballet company through conversations with the dancers and creative team.

Guests who would like to take part themselves can join guided ballet workshops, which are also suitable for complete beginners.

The programme is complemented by a selection of dance films shown in the ship’s cinema.

This transatlantic crossing offers a rare opportunity not only to see English National Ballet perform, but also to discover the company’s artistic work at close quarters throughout the week.

Music Travel Hideaways Special NEW YORK
Arriving in New York aboard Queen Mary 2 is an occasion worth extending.

It is an arrival you are unlikely to forget. Rather than bringing your journey to an end as soon as you disembark, we offer you an exclusive extension: our Music Travel Hideaways Special NEW YORK.

We will arrange a New York hideaway for you, with a choice of carefully selected hotels or apartments in Manhattan or the creative neighbourhood of Williamsburg in Brooklyn.

Your stay can be as flexible as you wish, whether for two, three or several nights, depending on how much time you would like to spend in the city.

We know New York from countless visits of our own and would be delighted to share our personal favourites and recommendations with you. We are confident that our suggestions go beyond the usual tourist attractions: from lesser-known music venues and tucked-away jazz clubs to rooftop bars, small galleries, bookshops and excellent restaurants away from the well-trodden tourist routes.

We can, of course, arrange tickets for concerts, a Broadway musical or a visit to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) or the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met). Private guided tours can also be organised.

The price depends on the length of your stay, your choice of accommodation and your travel dates.

We look forward to preparing a personalised offer for you.
