Cunard's Queen Mary 2 to Feature James Taylor

Cunard Line announced that Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter James Taylor and his band will perform during Queen Mary 2’s June 19 eastbound trans-Atlantic crossing.

Sailing from New York to Southampton, England, Taylor will headline two Cunard Command Performances in the ship’s Royal Court Theatre during the six-day journey. Space is still available on this voyage. “I’ve always wanted to take an ocean liner back to Europe,” Taylor said. “It’s such a civilized way to go, and the Queen Mary 2 is the last word in first-class travel.

It was a dream to use the passage to transport and rehearse our summer tour: band, crew and family; kit and caboodle. I’m looking forward to the pair of concerts at the end of the trip and, hallelujah, no jet lag.” For more information, call 800-7-CUNARD or visit www.cunard.com.
