Three decades after he recorded the album Atlantic Crossing, Rod Stewart has made the ocean voyage with his future wife on the Queen Mary 2.

The spiky-haired star embarked on the romantic transatlantic jaunt from Southampton to New York with pregnant fiancée Penny Lancaster, enjoying the luxury liner's ultra-exclusive Queens Grill accommodations.

A personal concierge and butler are among the perks bestowed on guests in the ocean-view suites, which are bedecked with fresh flowers, and fully equipped with marble baths, walk-in closets and sweeping living quarters.

Rod and his wife-to-be, who are expecting their first child together this Christmas, had a chance to fully indulge in the Queen Mary's lavish surroundings, as the trip was strictly pleasure, not business.

Expectant mum Penny surely appreciated the pampering provided by the ship's renowned White Star Service staff, and likely had a chance to relax and rejuvenate at the ship's two-storey, 20,000-square-foot spa.
