Ferdinand Magellan is one of the most famous names in World History for a reason: he was the first to circumnavigate the globe in the 16th century, though he did not see the end of it - passing away a year before his officer Juan Sebastián Elcano completed the quest.

Samuel Cunard inaugurated the line to provide mail carriage from Britain to North America via steamships.

I diligently enrolled in all of my supplier training programs, one of which was the Cunard Commodore program. By enrolling in their courses and achieving Commodore status as a Cunard Certified Expert, I was rewarded with a free graduation cruise on the Queen Mary 2's Norwegian Adventure from May 26 to June 3, 2014.
