Heart is giving you the chance to win one of travel’s most iconic experiences; a 7-night transatlantic cruise with Cunard for two people on board Queen Mary 2.

Sailing from Southampton to New York (or vice-versa, if you prefer), in a deluxe balcony stateroom, you will be waking up to a stunning new view each day!

In all the world of travel, there are few journeys rarer or more iconic than The Transatlantic Crossing to New York on Cunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2. Treat yourself to a unique and timeless voyage sailing aboard the world’s only true ocean liner, savouring seven unforgettable days of indulgence and discovery. Unhurried, dignified, and with a wonderful dash of glamour.

This is your chance to uncover an experience as exciting as it first was in 1847, now with the finest refinements at sea. Surrender to the rhythms of freedom, service and celebration only offered on The Transatlantic Crossing by Cunard.

This prize also includes all meals, entertainment and flights either to or from New York, depending on which way you would prefer to sail across the ocean!

 To get involved and be in with a chance of winning, text the word SHIP to 82122. Entries close at 6pm on 1st March 2019.

Texts cost your standard network rate, plus once you've entered we'll do the bit that raises the money for all those good causes and will automatically take a donation of £3, unless you text CANCEL as instructed in the first text message we send you. 100% of your donation will go to Global's Make Some Noise. You must be 18 or over to take part. You’re playing across all participating radio stations & regions, which can be found here with date restrictions and full Ts&Cs
