Alan Cumming reflects on his first journey aboard Cunard's Queen Mary 2 in 2011, transforming a difficult family moment into a profound, solitary adventure, embracing melancholy and magic.
Cumming describes an early morning stroll through the empty ship, where the tranquility and haunting beauty made him feel as if he were part of something larger than life.
At one point, he found a half-finished jigsaw puzzle and observed how the water seemed to rise outside the window, symbolizing his emotional state during the tumultuous time.
Ultimately, Cumming realized that the initial dread of being trapped on the ship gave way to a sense of wonder, appreciation, and cleansing of his spirit.
