Queen Mary 2 bookings open in August

CUNARD has announced that booking for cruises aboard its new vessel, the Queen Mary 2, will commence from August of this year, with the exception of a selected few who will be given the opportunity to book from next month, according to reports. People considered for priveleged early bookings will include Cunard’s top 100 agencies and any passengers who sailed with Cunard in 2001. The luxury liner’s maiden voyage is scheduled for January 2004. (Heather Ruddock)
