Cunard’s Flagship Queen Mary 2 Reunites with Her Legendary Namesake, The Queen Mary for the First Time in 20 Years
Luxury cruise line Cunard marked a rare and historic maritime moment this morning as the world’s only ocean liner, Queen Mary 2, anchored off the coast of Long Beach to reunite with her legendary namesake, the historic Queen Mary, for the first time in 20 years.
Renowned for her iconic transatlantic crossings between New York and Southampton, Queen Mary 2 has redefined ocean travel as the world’s only true ocean liner and remains a symbol of Cunard’s legacy as its flagship.
Queen Mary 2 debuted over 35 years after her namesake, The Queen Mary, was retired in 1967. Currently celebrating her 90th anniversary, the Queen Mary remains one of the most recognizable ships in the world as an Art Deco icon after debuting in 1936.
Today, she is a dynamic cultural destination in Long Beach with acclaimed dining, immersive tours and exhibits, signature festivals, and overnight accommodations.
