About This Cruise
The 7 Night Literature Festival At Sea is a 7-night round-trip itinerary aboard Cunard Queen Mary 2. You board and return in New York City, calling at 4 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in New York (New York City), England (Southampton), France (Le Havre), Belgium (Zeebrugge), England (Southampton) and New York (New York City).
Because it's round-trip from New York City, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 16 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
