Frequently asked questions
What is Queen Mary 2?
RMS Queen Mary 2 (QM2) is a British ocean liner and the flagship of Cunard Line, the only purpose-built ocean liner still in active service as of 2026. She sails regular transatlantic crossings between Southampton and New York City, in addition to an annual world voyage and seasonal cruising, reaching a maximum speed of just over 30 knots — far faster than any contemporary cruise ship.

Where does Queen Mary 2 sail?
Queen Mary 2 is principally deployed on the transatlantic service between Southampton and New York City, complemented by winter Caribbean cruises from New York and an annual world voyage. Her 30-knot maximum speed — achieved through integrated electric propulsion combining four diesel generators with two gas turbines powering four Rolls-Royce/Alstom Mermaid propulsion pods — allows her to maintain transatlantic schedules regardless of weather.
What is the history of Queen Mary 2?
The keel was laid on 4 July 2002, with approximately 3,000 craftsmen spending around eight million working hours on the ship. She floated out on 21 March 2003 and conducted sea trials in September and November 2003. Construction was completed on 22 December 2003; a fatal accident on 15 November 2003 during a shipyard visitor event killed 16 people after a gangway collapsed.
