The Canyon Ranch Spa Club on the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship

The canyon ranch spa club on the queen mary 2.

All aboard! The Queen Mary 2 arrives in New York.

Deck 8 of the Queen Mary 2, with one of the ship's five swimming pools.

Chandrika Bhandari specializes in Indian ayurvedic treatments at the spa. This kizhi medicated herbal pouch is one of them.

Purists might blanche at tea bags with white-glove service, but it's often a matter of scale: Queen Mary 2's annual tea consumption would fill an Olympic-size swimming pool.

Actress Sylvia Kauders inspects the breakfast menu in the 206-seat Queen's Grill, where passengers occupying the ship's duplex apartments and most lavish suites can take their meals.

The two-tiered Britannia Restaurant is three decks high and accommodates around 1,350 people in two sittings.

Waiter Gordon Hodgkiss of South Africa offers sandwiches at afternoon tea in the Queens Grill Lounge.

The Spa's relaxation room looks out to sea.

Ayurvedic oils and herbs come directly from India to the Canyon Ranch Spa Club.

Sometimes, dessert is just too tempting to pass up, as with this molten chocolate cake at the Todd English restaurant.

The SpaClub Aqua Therapy Pool bubbles with neck fountains, jet benches, a deluge waterfall and airbed recliner lounges.

Some passengers perfect the fine art of chilling out as the QM2 slices through the North Atlantic.
