Cunard Transatlantic Quote - Bike and Rider on QE II
I got a quote from Cunard this week, on the cost of shipping the bike and myself across the atlantic on their ship the Queen Elizabeth II. This ship has a garage.
Although it is still not cheap, the price they are quoting this year (in USD) is about half what they were quoting last year. So I guess they are sharpening up their pencils as a result of the slowdown in the travel market.
Here's the letter:
