"We are deeply grateful to the readers of Travel Weekly for awarding Cunard's Queen Mary 2 as 'best luxury ship'," said Josh Leibowitz, senior vice president, Cunard North America. "Cunard takes pride in our luxury experience on board and we are grateful to be consistently acknowledged by one of the industry's most respected publications."

Last summer Queen Mary 2 underwent an extensive refit, costing approximately $132 million, and it was one of the most remarkable renovations undertaken by Cunard.
