Queen Elizabeth 2 Ship Facts

Imagine a floating palace where the pleasures are unmatched. Where royalty, millionaires and film stars have been known to stroll on gleaming teak decks while savoring the earth's most dramatic panoramas. The QE2 was recently refurbished from bow to stern.

She is still the only ship offering regularly scheduled transatlantic service, Queen Elizabeth 2 is also an honored guest in ports near and far. The QE2's 2003 season of transatlantic crossings was her last. In 2004, the QM2 takes up the reins while the QE2 turns her attention to an exciting program of cruises sailing roundtrip from Southampton.
