There is a market for transatlantic crossings, and you are correct, Cunard has the market cornered. A colleague started his masters of law degree in London last fall, and he crossed on the QM2 with his wife. He said via email he'd never fly to Britain again!

Ummmm ... a retro cruise ship, is it? Sorta like the late-model Ford Mustangs that take their design cues from the early Ford Mustangs?

Or is this fellow proceeding on the assumption that there's a market these days for a scheduled ocean liner? As I understand it, the QM2 is the sole remaining trans-Atlantic liner, and its schedule is for part of the year only.

It must've been these aeroplanes they got these days, that'll get you across the Atlantic in just a few hours, that knocked out the liner. In light of that, it would appear that a crossing via ship would be more for recreation than transportation.

Maybe sufficient numbers of people wish for such a vacation. Don't count me among them, though.
