Cunard has added a day to some of its traditional transatlantic cruises on Queen Mary 2 — now they’re seven nights long with an extra day at sea. Spring crossings start at $895 per person, and include $75 to $150 in onboard credit, based on cabin category. These sailings are perfect for vacationers who just want to get away and relax, as there are no ports of call. Instead, you’ll spend your time reading on deck, ballroom dancing, pampering yourself at the Canyon Ranch Spa and trying out the ship’s multiple dining venues. But prices are going up so book soon for the best deals.
