 QUEEN MARY 2
Highlights of the biggest liner ever built
Design Highlights
- At 1,131 feet, Queen Mary 2 stretches nearly four football fields in length.
She features 17 decks and tower 200 feet above the waterline, equal to
the height of a 23-story building.
- Several dining venues, all featuring ocean views, include Cunard's
traditional Grill Rooms for the higher stateroom categories and a
restaurant for the deluxe and standard categories. Recalling the classic
dining salons of grand liners of the past, the magnificent three-deck-high
main dining room spans the full width of the ship with a sweeping
central staircase creating a dramatic showcase for those wishing to make
the ultimate grand entrance.
- Another classic feature is a 360-degree Promenade Deck, recreating an
environment which historically served as an important social venue aboard
transatlantic liners. The spacious deck, whose total circumference exceeds
one-third of a mile, is lined with traditional steamer chairs while
leaving expansive room for guests to stroll.
- Interior promenades circling several decks provide attractive walking
venues, as well.
- A large indoor swimming pool in the spa as well as four outside pools, one
of which with a retractable glass roof.
- A planetarium on board offers a variety of constellation shows, as well
as other presentations.
- A unique educational center features seven flexible classroom venues
for housing Cunard's College At Sea enrichment programs. Classes in
everything from computer training, seamanship and navigation to cooking,
art and wine appreciation, languages and photography will be taught by
expert instructors within the various rooms which are capable of being
separated or joined to adjust for varying class sizes.
- The ship's whistle is an exact replica of the one on the Queen Mary so
that her famous predecessor's voice will once more be heard on the ocean.
- A luxurious space ratio of 57.25 allowing for a variety of public areas of
grand scale and some truly magnificent living spaces.
- Four MerMaid(TM) podded propulsion units, providing nimble maneuverability.
