QUEEN ELIZABETH 11
Since her launching in 1969 until being superceeded by the "Queen Mary 2" in 2004, the "QE2" was the flagship of The Cunard Line and the epitome of trans-Atlantic liner service. In the 1980's she continued to do trans-Atlantic liner trips during the northern hemisphere summer months but during the winter she would undertake world wide cruising often making one long around the world cruise. In recent years she has been upgraded and devotes more and more of her time to cruising. |
