Creator's Key Takeaways

Queen Anne's maiden transatlantic crossing isn't going quite according to plan with the ship's arrival into New York delayed by 24 hours.

Queen Anne is a cruise ship and not designed done to take direct point-to-point transatlantic crossings.

Queen Mary 2 on the other hand is an ocean liner specifically designed to undertake the transatlantic crossing.

If you ask me, there's really only one way to cross the Atlantic and that is on board the only ocean liner left in service, Queen Mary 2.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider ocean liner design for transatlantic crossings in rough weather.
Understand that cruise ships may experience delays on transatlantic routes.
