Personal treasures to cherish

From a dazzling new watch from that prestigious brand he’s always admired to beautiful silk scarfs that can be fashioned multiple ways, Queen Mary 2’s boutiques offer a world of choice if you’re searching for a gift for someone back home.

Take your pick from beautifully crafted souvenirs and mementos that are only available on board or find a personalised keepsake they’re sure to love among our luxury brands and lifestyle products. A set of Cunard ales or one of our own brand gins makes a perfect present for fans of these two tipples, while an official Cunard bear offers little ones a future heirloom that may mark the start of a treasured new collection.

Then there’s the chance to surprise someone special on board with one of our bespoke gift packages. From deliciously indulgent dark and light chocolates to a fresh floral bouquet, we offer so many ways to show those closest to you just how much they mean. You could arrange a private photo shoot, forever immortalising the moment, or have a personalised cake and Champagne delivered to your stateroom, catching them totally unawares.

A token of Artistic Expression

Salvador Dali. Mr Brainwash. Philip Gray. L. S. Lowry. These are just some of the globally renowned artists whose works you’ll be able to browse and buy on board Queen Mary 2.

Located on Deck 3L, alongside the Britannia Restaurant, our Clarendon art gallery houses an extensive collection of authenticated works by a blend of established and upcoming artists. Enjoy the breadth of classical and contemporary styles as you immerse yourself in paintings, sculptures, and mixed medium creations from centuries-old masters and modern disruptors.

Every piece on display is available to purchase and can be shipped to a home address of your choosing; perfect if you see something you love or you’re looking for a potential investment. The displays will update throughout your Queen Mary 2 cruise and you may even be fortunate enough to witness an exclusive unveiling or even meet an artist.

On sea days, you’ll have the opportunity to attend illuminating talks with your gallery team about the art on display and the stories behind their creation. As well as the works offered on the ship, the team has access to a much wider portfolio, so don’t hesitate to ask if you’d care to see more of the available art by any of the gallery’s featured artists.

You’ll find details of the day’s shoot timings and locations in your Daily Programme, so you can plan your day – and your attire – to accommodate a few snaps. Alternatively, why not organise a private photoshoot at a time and place of your convenience? Our team can work with you one-on-one to create a composition that speaks just to you. No location is off limits and we even have a professionally-lit photography studio where you can pose in privacy if you prefer.

Photographs we capture are available to view at your leisure by logging into the digital screens at Queen Mary 2’s dedicated Photo Gallery, where you can select your favourites. We offer special packages for multiple prints and all images are available to order for the duration of your voyage, so you’ll have plenty of time to reflect before deciding which ones to take home.
