About Queen Mary 2

Queen Mary 2 is the most famous ship in the world — a true ocean liner built to cross the North Atlantic, not merely cruise in calm waters. At 151,400 gross tons and 345 metres long, QM2 is the largest ocean liner ever built. She carries 2,691 guests across four restaurant classes — Britannia, Princess Grill, and Queens Grill — each offering a distinct dining experience. The ship features a planetarium, a ballroom, a 1,094-seat Royal Court Theatre, and the only kennel at sea for guests travelling with pets.
