In 2003 Cunard launched their new and at the time largest vessel on the seas, Queen Mary 2. Her gross tonnage is 148,528 tons and she is still the largest ocean liner on the sea to date.

Queen Mary 2 is a ship in a line of distinguished Cunard vessels that offer quality and luxury cruising. On board you can enjoy the choice of 15 restaurants and bars when dining and 5 swimming pools when wanting to relax. As well as this there is a casino, ballroom, theatre, and a planetarium amongst other attractions on board.

Replacing Queen Elizabeth 2 as Cunards flagship, Queen Mary 2 now makes many transatlantic crossings similar to that of her predecessor. Being able to reach an open ocean speed of 30 knots makes Queen Mary 2 fastest than cruise liners and her ocean liner status is proven with this speed.

On 12th January 2004 Queen Mary 2 made her maiden voyage, departing Southampton and sailing to Fort Launderdale in Florida. Later that year she sailed to Athens to act as a hotel for the 2004 Olympic Games whilst in dock. The Queen Mary 2 is a versatile ship and will stay at the forefront of ocean lining for years to come.
