Queen Elizabeth 2 exudes an ageless glamour that appeals to seasoned voyagers the world over. No wonder so many celebrities have revelled in her ambience of relaxed sophistication and gracious hospitality.

Launched by Her Majesty the Queen in 1967, she has seen practically every record and honour fall at her feet. She’s been a troop carrier, hostess to royalty and witness to history. Nelson Mandela described sailing her as ‘an unforgettable honour and pleasure’.

Take a peak at the treats in store when you live the enduring legend. From lounging to learning, there's so much to relish and discover. It’s time to take your place in her history and sail onboard the world’s most loved ship.

Aboard Queen Elizabeth  II, 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. Welcome aboard the one and only Queen Elizabeth 2. Thanks to a refurbishment from bow to stern, she is uniquely prepared to pamper you with the utmost contemporary comfort.

 

Still the only ship offering regularly scheduled transatlantic service, Queen Elizabeth 2 is also an honored guest in ports near and far. Sailing the world's waters, she becomes your glamorous refuge.

Whether you prefer days of leisure or stimulating activities, Queen Elizabeth 2 accommodates extravagantly. Enjoy a dazzling variety of concerts, films and illuminating talks.
