Reserve now to snag early-booking savings of up to 50% on Cunard's flagship liner. Fares for the last voyage in 2003, which leaves Southampton on Dec. 15 for a six-day trip, start at $999 per person (double occupancy) and include one-way economy air fare between the U.S. and London. For high-style travel, sail in July or August (fares start at $1,299) and fly back on the supersonic Concorde for $2,995, which also makes its final trip in the fall.
