Book excerpt: A behind-the-scenes photographic journey around the grandest ocean liner ever built By the 1970s it looked as if QE2 would be the last of the great transatlantic ocean liners. However, more than three decades later the world watched in awe as Queen Mary 2, the largest, longest, grandest, and most expensive ocean liner ever to be constructed, set sail on her maiden voyage in 2004. With 14 decks and beautiful lounges, dining rooms, and ballrooms, QM2 evokes the glamour of the golden age of ocean travel. This book allows the reader to experience this unique vessel from the comfort of their own home. With numerous never-before-published photographs of each of QM2’s public rooms as well as stunning exterior shots, this book is delightfully complemented by little-known facts and interesting information from Commodore R. W. Warwick, QM2’s first captain.

Book excerpt: There has been no more beloved liner than the Queen Elizabeth 2. The last liner to be built on British soil, she was constructed by John Brown & Co., Clydebank (Scotland) and her keel was laid on July 5, 1965, marking the start of her illustrious career. Her maiden voyage left Southampton on May 2, 1969, bound for New York, and she has remained in service for the past 40 years. She had a spell as a military ship from 1982, when she was requisitioned to serve as a troop carrier during the Falklands War, and during her military career QE2 successfully sailed more than 14,900 miles. Post-war, she has had many refits, including a headline-grabbing total refurbishment in 1994 to turn her into a 21st-century luxury liner. In November 2008, QE2 retired to a new life in Dubai World, where she began her conversion to a floating hotel, and the last chapter of her exceptional life in service will close.
