With school breaks, nagging relatives, crummy weather and a host of entertainment obligations, jumping overboard for the holidays may be on your mind.  However, there's no need to do it... You can take the whole family aboard one of the world's finest Cunard cruise ships for an affordable, luxury getaway.


Whether youand your family choose to make a historic TransatlanticCrossing, or explore the wonders of the Canary Islands,spending the holidays aboard a Cunardocean liner is an unforgettable holiday cruisevacation experience. Just ask royalty, pop stars and celebrities like Monty Norman, pictured here, the Hollywood composer of the famous James Bond theme. He sailed aboard Cunard to the London premiere of "Skyfall" as the man who wrote the music for "Dr. No" -- the serie's first film, and for 25 others.

And, surprisingly but fortunately, select 7-day to 26-day December voyages todestinations around the globe still have availability.

Duringthe winter holidays, Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoriaand Queen Elizabethare beautifully decorated with elegant and traditional Christmasdecorations that are fun for children to experience.  These ships, more elegant than glittery historic liners like Titanic (but of course far safer!) have a surprising amount of fun activities in store for families, as you can see by Keith McCarthy's review of Cunard Ships for Family Travel Forum.
