THE QUEEN MARY II

THE QUEEN MARY II OFFERS THE FIRST PLANETARIUM AT SEA.

If travel is meant to be savored, then crossing the oceans should be a majestic experience,

not merely a hop across the pond. For travelers of this persuasion, only one name evokes

the pleasures of a golden era: Cunard Line. Proudly continuing the tradition of luxury

cruising that began in 1840, Queen Mary 2 debuted in 2004 as the new flagship of The

Most Famous Ocean Liners in the World. As the tallest, longest, largest, and most

expensive cruise ship ever built, QM2 provides her guests with unprecedented amenities

and accommodations at every turn. Maintaining the tradition of her Cunard and White

Star Line predecessors, QM2 is the only ship offering regularly scheduled transatlantic

service.

RMS Queen Mary 2 is a transatlantic ocean liner. She was the first major ocean liner built
since Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1969, the vessel she succeeded as flagship of the Cunard Line.

The ship was named by Queen Elizabeth II in 2004 after the first RMS Queen Mary,
completed in 1936. Queen Mary was in turn named after Mary of Teck, consort of King
George V. With the retirement of Queen Elizabeth 2 from active duty in 2008, Queen Mary
2 is currently the only transatlantic ocean liner in operation as a liner, although the ship is
often used for cruising, including an annual world cruise.[8][dead link]

At the time of her construction in 2003 by Chantiers de l'Atlantique, Queen Mary 2 was
the longest, widest and tallest passenger ship ever built, and with her gross tonnage (GT)
of 151,400 tons, was also the largest. She no longer holds this distinction after the
construction of Royal Caribbean International's 154,407 GT Freedom of the Seas in April
2006, which was in turn superseded by the same company's 225,282 GT Oasis of the Seas
in October 2009. However, Queen Mary 2 remains the largest ocean liner (as opposed to
cruise ship) ever built.

Queen Mary 2 was intended primarily to cross the Atlantic Ocean, and was therefore
designed differently from many other passenger ships. The ship's final cost was
approximately $300,000 US per berth, nearly double that of many contemporary cruise
ships. This was due to the size of the ship, the high quality of materials, and that, having
been designed as an ocean liner, she required 40% more steel than a standard cruise ship.
[9]
She has a maximum speed of 29.62 knots (54.86 km/h; 34.09 mph) and a cruising speed
of 26 knots (48 km/h; 30 mph), much faster than contemporary cruise ships, such as Oasis
of the Seas, which has a cruising speed of 22.6 knots (41.9 km/h; 26.0 mph). Instead of the
diesel-electric configuration found on many ships, Queen Mary 2 uses a CODLAG
configuration (Combined diesel-electric and gas) in order to achieve her maximum speed.

RMS
This uses additional gas turbines to augment the power given by the diesel generators
onboard, and allow the ship to reach a higher maximum speed.

Queen Mary 2's facilities include fifteen restaurants and bars, five swimming pools, a
casino, a ballroom, a theatre, and the first planetarium at sea. There are also kennels
onboard, as well as a nursery. Queen Mary 2 is one of the few ships afloat today to have
remnants of a class system onboard, most prominently seen in her dining options.
