Today this small provincial town is virtually a museum without walls, dotted with many splendid ruins. Nearby, the forested mountains and valleys shelter hundreds of beautiful Buddhist shrines including the renowned Sokkuram Grotto, and Tongdosa and Pulguksa Temples. Pusan is also a shopper's mecca and Korea's vital southern link to Japanese and American trade. | ||

| One of Japan's most historic cities, Nagasaki was a major port, trading with the Portuguese and Dutch in the 16th century. You can still see this colonial legacy in the brick buildings, old forts, canals and curving cobblestone streets. On a hill overlooking the bay, beautiful Glover Mansion, the setting of Madame Butterfly, is typical of the fine homes built by wealthy foreign residents. But Nagasaki's ties with Korea and China are equally apparent in the famous Chinese temple, a large Chinese colony and the numerous fine Korean and Chinese restaurants. | ||

If a passenger has special dietary needs, Cunard must be advised at time of booking or, at the latest, six weeks before sailing. Every effort will be made to comply with such requests.
All passengers requiring specific assistance, facilities, or equipment on board must advise Cunard Line at the time of booking, and are requested to complete a questionnaire after booking, to ensure they have all the information needed to cater adequately for your requirements.
If you need to bring a wheelchair or mobility scooter on board with you, it is essential that you let Cunard Line know at the time of booking or as soon as the need is known. Any passengers requiring the use of a wheelchair, mobility scooter, or other aids to mobility must provide their own. For the safety of everyone on board and the ship, all wheelchairs, scooters and other aids to mobility, as is the case with all passenger possessions, must be stored inside your stateroom when not in use. Failure to comply with this important safety rule may mean you are disembarked and refused future travel. Part time wheelchair user traveling in a non-wheelchair accessible stateroom must bring a collapsible wheelchair to ensure it can safely fit through the stateroom door and be accommodated in the stateroom. It is not possible to make structural changes to the stateroom layout. Cunard Line reserves the right to require passengers who have booked this accommodation without legitimate reason to move, at their own expense, if necessary.
Mobility scooters will only be permitted on board if passengers have booked into a wheelchair accessible stateroom, or a suite, as these are the only types of accommodations where mobility scooters can safely be stored. The minimum door width of suites is 53 cm (21 in). The minimum door width of the wheelchair accessible staterooms is 80 cm (31 in). At the time of booking, please let Cunard Line know if you intend on bringing a mobility scooter with you, and they will in turn provide you with a questionnaire for completion to ensure that the accommodation you have booked is appropriate. Please note that wheelchair accessible staterooms are strictly reserved for passengers who are bringing wheelchairs or mobility scooters or who have a requirement for the adapted facilities offered by these staterooms.
A ship is not always the easiest environment for using a wheelchair or mobility scooter. Although the crew is helpful, they are only able to provide limited assistance to help you in moving around the ship. For this reason, and in order to ensure the safety of the passenger, the ship and all others on board, it is recommended that passengers with disabilities, who require personal assistance in the activities of daily living, including pushing a wheelchair or communication support, be accompanied by a personal assistant or traveling companion to provide these services. Blind/Visually Impaired passengers are recommended to travel with a companion who can help you get your bearings and assist you both on board and ashore. The crew can provide limited arm assistance, and information or directions, but cannot provide sustained or long term assistance.
Please note that due to applicable safety requirements, the design of the ship or port infrastructure and equipment, in certain ports of call it may not be possible for Cunard Line to offer a shore excursion program, or shuttle bus service, suitable for passengers who are not able to board a coach via the steps with only the aid of their traveling companion.
Cunard Line reserves the right to refuse passage to any Passenger who has failed to notify Cunard Line of their requirement for special treatment or assistance (including the requirement to use a wheelchair or mobility scooter ). For further information about traveling with disabilities, please contact the specialist Care Access Team at (800)728-6273 (Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm PT) or via email at accessoffice@cunard.com.
Mobility Ashore
When choosing your voyage please bear in mind that it may not be possible for wheelchair users to get ashore at ports of call. At the majority of ports visited by the ships, Cunard Line deploys a short ramped low-level gangway, commonly referred to as the ship’s brow. This is normally due to ports with a large tidal range, where a relatively shallow ramp may unavoidably become too steep to use safely during the course of the day with tidal movements. Some examples of ports with a large tidal range (but not an exhaustive list) are: Bilbão, Brest, La Coruña, Le Havre, La Rochelle, Lisbon, Vigo, Zeebrugge, Canary Island ports, Hamburg, Boston, Halifax, Portland, Québec, Darwin, Lisbon, Mumbai and San Francisco.
At ports where it is not possible to use the ship’s brow, all access to shore will be by a narrow stepped gangway known as the accommodation ladder, that pivots to take account of the tide. When the accommodation ladder is in use, you will need some independent mobility in order to walk down the gangway. Each of the ships carries a wheelchair “stair climbing” machine which, where appropriate, may be used to allow wheelchair users to go ashore provided they transfer between their own wheelchair and the wheelchair that is fitted to the stair climber at the top and bottom of the accommodation ladder. The stair climber cannot be used with electric wheelchairs – these will need to be taken ashore separately.
Service Animals
Cunard is pleased to permit individuals to bring service animals on board. You must provide notice of the time of booking. Local laws or customs may prevent animals from disembarking at particular ports or countries. It is the passenger's responsibility to consult local customs authorities for requirements and to obtain all applicable documents and health certificates. Service animals are kept in staterooms with their owners.
The safety, comfort and enjoyment of all passengers has always been a key concern at Cunard. With this in mind, smoking - including pipe and cigar smoking - is no longer permitted in any public area with the exception of Churchill’s Cigar Lounge and designated areas on the open decks.
Smoking is not permitted in staterooms or on stateroom balconies.
Electronic cigarettes may be used in staterooms and on stateroom balconies. However, they are not permitted in non-smoking public areas. Electronic cigarettes that emit a vapor should be used in designated smoking areas only.
Because onboard medical facilities are limited and shoreside medical care is not always readily available, Cunard Line will not be able to carry passengers who will be 24 weeks or more pregnant by the end of the intended voyage.
Each ship has an Internet Centre. Passengers with laptops may access the web via the ship's wireless network, available in every stateroom as well as many public rooms. Nominal charges apply for these services.
Guests may access the Internet in each ship’s Internet Centre. Passengers with laptops may access the web via the ship's wireless network, available in every stateroom as well as many public rooms. Charges apply for these services.
There are basic medical facilities onboard which are equipped primarily to deal with illness and accidents, and are not intended to provide ongoing treatment of pre-existing conditions. If you anticipate a need for medical services aboard the ship, your special requirement must be advised to Cunard Line in writing before your booking can be finalized.

Submit Your Own Review!beautiful ship
Pros: beautiful ship
Cons: food was average
Review: very very disappointed by the food served. We have over 400 days of sailing mainly with princess cruises where we are elite members and it is the first time in all these cruises that no lobster was served!!! The varieties of courses were minimalists:4 appetizers offered,2 varieties of soups and among these these two the same bouillon with a change of vegetables,4 main courses and 4 desserts ,one of which is always a pudding. .
Excellent service especially in the Britannia Club.
Pros: Excellent service especially in the Britannia Club.
Cons: Felt pressed for tips. Added massive percentage tip practically before we left port.
Review: The room was great. The staff and atmosphere in the Britannia Club was above and beyond. Fantastic. The speakers were very good on nature things and it was fun to have Bear Gills on board. Loved the photography excursions. I think you need to describe excursions better, saying what exactly you do so you can dress correct. Whale watching and wilderness made us think some off boat hike and not just on boat. Too much time in bear rescue place with massive numbers of Rolle from several ships crowded in. Glacier viewing from ship was fantastic. Good on the Captain to spin around so we all had super views. Enjoyed the tea. Was supposed to be invited to Champagne Tea but communication was poor. Veranda food good but not up to standard of Britannia Club and not sure why they turn people away when many fail to show up and restaurant is underutilized. There were only 10 there the night we went. Seems like Cunard is losing money here.
Everyone on board made this a pleasant experience
Pros: Everyone on board made this a pleasant experience
Cons: None
Review: Vivian, our cabin steward, took fantastic care of us. The lectures were fascinating. The food was great.
Just about everything was great about the Queen Elizabeth. Stateroom was nice, slightly larger than we anticipated. Attendant excellent. Always available without being obtrusive. Friendly yet professional. Food in dining room very good, as was the service. Verandah Steakhouse very good, worth the extra money. Entertainment fine, if not spectacular. Singers/dancers better than most ships. Casino small but convivial. Excellent dealers. Excursions good. All in all, a great ship and a great travel experience.

Cons: "Shipboard Credit" only applies to things actually bought/ordered on-board. Pre-booking excursions, beverages, etc. not applicable. This is NOT made clear when pre-booking on line and defeats the purpose of pre-ordering anything! Lido buffet for breakfast/lunch fairly ordinary.
Review: Great ship! Great trip!
Very good entertainment, elegant atmosphere, good value.
Pros: Very good entertainment, elegant atmosphere, good value.
Cons: Food and service in Britannia restaurant have slipped considerably.
Review: The staff's attitude seems to have shifted for the worse on this voyage, on this ship. From a surly waiter to a uncooperative cabin steward and beyond the staff seemed stressed and overworked and generally in a negative mood. The food quality has certainly gone down in the main dining restaurant and we found ourselves eating in the alternative dining venues (all with a surcharge) or dining off ship when possible. Most everything else was 4-star but certainly not a 5. I would recommend this cruise but with reservations.
Comfortable
Pros: Comfortable
Cons: Late show
Review: Enjoyed our Alaska cruise. The staff were friendly and efficient. The Lido and dining room were comfortable. The food was enjoyable.
Lovely ship, excellent service, good entertainment, alternative dinning was very good and service charge $19.50 was reasonable.
Pros: Lovely ship, excellent service, good entertainment, alternative dinning was very good and service charge $19.50 was reasonable.
Cons: Smart attire dress code required gentlemen to wear a jacket, tie optional every night. Mixed drinks were charged out at cost for liquor and a separate charge for mix. Photos, as on most ships too expensive.
Review: While service was generally excellent, some of the staff rotating through the Lido at breakfast and lunch looked like they wish they were elsewhere. Some , not all, of the front desk staff were not well informed and looked annoyed that you interrupted them. Having coffee/tea making facilities in the cabin was really nice. Using only one gangway to get people ashore resulted in huge line ups. They need to use 2 security stations as getting back on the ship when the tours arrive, again caused huge lineups. They had fencing lessons, Zumba, lots of dancing classes, croquette and lawn bowling. Some unique activities.
Elegance, enough public rooms for comfort for all, food, service, entertainment
Pros: Elegance, enough public rooms for comfort for all, food, service, entertainment
