Sail Into History
"DNA tourism" is hot now that it's easier than ever to find your ancestral roots. This August, sail back to your English origins on Cunard’s Journey of Genealogy. You won’t board the Mayflower, as pictured here; instead you’ll travel on the luxurious Queen Mary 2 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims' arrival in the New World. Ancestry experts from AncestryProGenealogists will be along to discuss the original voyage and its passengers. This seven-night trip, which boards in Southampton, England and disembarks in New York City, will let you trace your family tree, attend ancestry-themed workshops and learn how your DNA connects you to the global community.
