Cunard QM2 2026 Review – Can She Win Me Back?

Creator's Key Takeaways
Queen Mary 2 used to be my favourite ship. Then Queen Anne came along in January, fluttered her elegant little eyelashes, and knocked Mary off the throne.
I spent seven nights back onboard Cunard’s iconic ocean liner to see whether Mary could win me back.
There was good, there was tedious, and there may or may not be some questionable life choices ahead.
Queen Anne is still on the throne for me just now, but I do have a very soft spot for QM2.

Then Queen Anne came along in January, fluttered her elegant little eyelashes, and knocked Mary off the throne. But this time QM2 had Norway as a wingman… and that changes things. I spent seven nights back onboard Cunard’s iconic ocean liner to see whether Mary could win me back. There were stunning views, classic Cunard moments, slow dinners, questionable choices, emotional scenery, a few “Norway, innit” moments, and the usual amount of me wandering around like a sleep-deprived Victorian ghost with a tomato juice. This is not a cabin tour. This is not beige cruise content. This is Queen Mary 2, Norway, Cunard, solo cruising, food, entertainment, thermal suite, prom deck laps, onboard life, and one man trying to decide whether his long-time favourite ship still deserves the crown. Is QM2 still THE queen of the seas? Or has Anne ruined me forever? Seven nights on Queen Mary 2 to Norway… Here, ladies and gentlemen...
