BRITISH AUTHOR AND SOLO TRAVELLER ELLEN FRAZER-JAMESON UNVEILS HER LATEST BOOK, AN INTRIGUING MEMOIR THAT CHRONICLES HER TRANSFORMATIVE 103-DAY JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD ABOARD CUNARD’S ICONIC, QUEEN MARY 2.
​
In this captivating narrative, Frazer-Jameson shares her experiences of visiting 32 ports across the globe aboard Queen Mary 2’s Centenary World Voyage, blending the thrill of exploration with personal reflections on her life-changing voyage. The book not only highlights the grandeur of traveling on Cunard’s iconic ship but also offers a deeply personal perspective on solo travel, adventure, and self-discovery.
​
This solo traveller’s tale unfolds with remarkable contrast, as Ellen embarks on a 103-day adventure that takes her from the grandeur and glamour aboard Queen Mary 2 to the sights, sounds, and raw beauty of the world beyond. Guided by the mantra "you only live once,'" this British author chose to experience life on her terms, boarding Cunard's Queen Mary 2 Centenary World Voyage in January 2023.
​
For over three months, she explored a world of luxury and adventure as a solo traveller, embracing the elegance of formal evenings aboard this world-renowned ocean liner from the tame and untamed intrigue of Africa, the profound serenity of Asia, to the wind-swept, mesmerizing dunes of the middle east.
​
Ellen’s journey was a blend of elegance and adventure, where the refinement of high society effortlessly intertwined with the raw beauty of unexplored landscapes. as she sailed between glittering galas and awe-inspiring untouched scenery.
​
Whether she was engaging with fellow globetrotters at opulent events or standing in reverence of nature’s splendour, she embraced the full spectrum of life’s experiences.
​
Aboard the grand Queen Mary 2, Ellen immersed herself in Cunard's rich array of offerings. She delighted in the available activities featuring fencing and arts and crafts to stimulating and insightful talks by world-renowned speakers, yoga classes, and the graceful movements of ballroom dancing. It was the perfect fusion of intellectual enrichment and relaxation, capturing the essence of a life lived to the fullest.
​​The voyage became more than just an escape—it was a reminder of the freedom and empowerment that comes from following one’s instincts, living with no regrets, and never looking back at missed opportunities.
​
In her retelling, she highlights the contrast and harmony between two worlds: the formal glamour of cruise life, with its gala events, champagne toasts, and endless horizons, alongside the solitude and stunning, beauty of the world we live in. This unique mix of experiences reveals that the true essence of travel lies in embracing the extremes—where the memories are made not just in the places visited, but in the courage to say "yes" to it all.
​
Readers of this voyage will explore the profound and transformative experiences that come with such an epic journey. Ellen’s storey covers not just the physical voyage but also delves into her personal growth and the life-changing moments that occurred along the way. “As a bright-eyed first-time world voyager, my mission was to discover my life purpose, asking all the existential questions: Who am I? What do I want to achieve? How can I become the best version of myself? What does the future hold for me?”
​
So why are so many travellers choosing to explore the world alone these days? One needs to have been able to travel solo to know and understand that travelling by yourself is one of life’s greatest luxuries.
​
This ever-increasing contingent of travellers who are determined to go it alone is causing a seismic shift in the world of travel. Many who are embracing this idea of solo freedom, of doing just what they want, when they want to have collectively begun to force a shift in the traditional paradigm of how travel providers (think tours, cruises and even hotels) treat solo travellers.
​
It’s most obvious in the cruise ship world, where solo cruising has always been assessed a single-supplement cabin fee, often forced to pay close to the same price as the double-occupancy price. That has been one of the first things to fall, as cruise companies rethink that policy.
