Cunard Announces The Grills Suites Inclusive Package in Honour of the Line's 175th Anniversary
175th Celebration Package with Complimentary Balcony Upgrades Also Available
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Jan. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate Cunard Line's 175th Anniversary and the storied Queens Grill and Princess Grill Suites tradition, the company announces The Grills Suites Inclusive Package, featuring an array of complimentary amenities, elevating what is already an unsurpassed level of elegance at sea aboard flagship Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. The Grills Suites Inclusive Package is available for bookings made now through 28 February 2015. Grills passengers will enjoy a number of complimentary services and amenities such as a wine package, Internet minutes, a keepsake photo, a specialty coffee card, gratuities and an alternative dining credit. Britannia guests sailing in Inside, Oceanview and Balcony staterooms will also have something to celebrate with a 175th Celebration Package offering complimentary Balcony upgrades and Onboard Credit.
The Grills tradition began on the original Queen Mary in 1936 when guests paid an extra tariff for an evening of dining and dancing in the sophisticated Verandah Grill. The extra amenity touches proved so popular that Queen Elizabeth 2 continued the concept with the Grill Room.
Today, the iconic Grills experience continues aboard Cunard's current fleet of Queens, providing passengers with deluxe suite accommodations and the opportunity to unwind in the sublime comfort of intimate, sophisticated spaces reserved exclusively for them. Once onboard, Grills guests discover fresh strawberries and a bottle of wine or champagne chilling in their suites. As they toast their voyage, a special concierge is available to orchestrate arrangements. For Queens Grill guests, a friendly yet formal butler is on hand to assist with every need, from unpacking to serving nightly canapes. Dining is equally seamless and refined as Grills Suites guests enjoy single seating, exemplary White Star Service, and the freedom to order personalised, one-of-a-kind meals in the world-renowned Queens Grill or Princess Grill restaurants.
Now, with The Grills Suites Inclusive Package, Grills guests can indulge in an array of complimentary services for an even more carefree voyage. In 2015 (excluding World Voyages), Grills Suite staterooms (Q1 – P2) will include the following:
