You are a well informed Aussie to know about Watergate. I also never knew Cunard was in the hotel business.
Very insightful
As part of the team that went to the Falklands in 1982 on QE2, Trafalgar House gifted us a fully expensed overnight stay at the Ritz on our return, for ourselves and our + 1, really fab.
Also had some great beach parties at La Toc when we were in with time off from a ship😂!
Oh wow! The QE2 Falklands experience must have been quite something!
@ChrisFrameOfficial Happy to talk it through with you som time Chris, I'm travelling on QA with my wife on 28th July if you're on, our son is Deputy Captain onboard. Cheers

Hi Chris, I stayed at the La Toc in St Lucia a few times in the 80's with my family
What was it like?
Beautiful and very friendly - its now owned by Sandals
WOW! Growing up in the MD / DC area I had no idea that Cunard had a presence in the Washington DC area. SUPER INTERESTING!!!!
Much less the infamous Watergate Hotel, which Cunard operated from 1986 until 1990.
Love this. When we were on Cunard Countess in 1983, one of our tours was a day at Cunard’s Hotel La Toc in St Lucia.
Excellent fantastic hotels!
I didn't know they had a hotel and resort but cool!
Its hard to understand how Cunard went from hotels and a large fleet to just 1 ship when Carnival saved them.....Cunard Air Next! See you onboard soon Chris.
I saw this on my old brochure covers
I did not know! Great video and great piece of history thanks Chris
Cunard also ran an airline!
Wow hotels
Did you ever stay at a Cunard hotel?
Never in my life cuz I've never been to other countries. I'm just here in my home country, Philippines. 😢
Did cunard ever operate river cruises? I've heard they did but never found any evidence of it
Yes! They did! I will do a video about that one day too!
I do know that a few years ago while the Queen Victoria was on a voyage to South America, she sailed up the Amazon river all the way to the far reaching inland city of Manaus. At the time I thought this was an incredible achievement for an ocean going vessel of the size of Queen Victoria.
