History
The Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) was a legendary ocean liner built for the Cunard Line, serving as both a transatlantic liner and a cruise ship from 1969 to 2008. Designed for voyages between Southampton, UK, and New York, she was named after the earlier RMS Queen Elizabeth and served as Cunard's flagship until 2004, when she was succeeded by RMS Queen Mary 2. Built in Clydebank, Scotland, QE2 was regarded as the last of the great transatlantic ocean liners until the Queen Mary 2 was announced. Initially powered by steam, she was the last oil-fired passenger steamship to operate scheduled transatlantic crossings before being refitted with a diesel power plant in 1986–87. Throughout her nearly 40-year career, QE2 undertook numerous world cruises and later transitioned primarily into a cruise ship, sailing from Southampton. Renowned for her speed, elegance, and luxurious accommodations, the QE2 became one of the most iconic ships of her era. Her service spanned historic events, including transporting troops during the Falklands War in 1982. After her retirement in 2008, she was transformed into a floating hotel in Dubai, preserving her legacy as one of the most celebrated ocean liners in maritime history.
