Queen Elizabeth 2

Imagine your cruise from New York on the one and only Queen Elizabeth 2, a floating palace where royalty, millionaires and film stars have strolled on teak decks while visiting the world's best ports. Indulge your appetite for the finer things in life onboard the world's most famous cruise ship, the QE2.

A Queen Elizabeth 2 cruise from Brooklyn is as full of as much activity as you want. There's something to enjoy whatever your mood. Feeling energetic? Jump into one of the swimming pools. Or how about an aerobics class? Keep your golf up to scratch on the driving range. Jog along to the Spa with its pool, treatment rooms and state-of-the-art fitness equipment. Or shop in designer boutiques, play bridge, acquire new computer skills or listen to a talk by a famous author. For quieter moments, QE2 offers secluded corners where you can simply sunbathe or relax with a book.

Queen Elizabeth 2 Cruises from Brooklyn

The Queen Mary 2 handles the transatlantic cruises from New York to England, so the Queen Elizabeth 2 only sails from Brooklyn a few times a year.

The QE2's last westbound Atlantic crossing is a 6-day "Final New York Crossing" cruise from Southampton to New York. Departs October 10, 2008.

6-day Farewell to America Crossing. The QE2's last Transatlantic cruise from New York to Southampton. Departs October 16, 2008.

The QE2 Legacy

The QE2 has sailed more than 5.3 million nautical miles - that's more than any ship in history and is equivalent to travelling to the moon and back 12 times. She has carried nearly three million passengers - many of them returning again and again. She has called at her homeport of Southampton 651 times and has completed 1,383 voyages. She has made 796 Atlantic crossings and completed 23 full World Voyages. She has sailed at an average speed of 24.75 knots over the last 36 years and she can sail backwards faster than most cruise ships can sail forwards!

Why just cruise when you can cruise on the world's most famous ship? Experience a brilliant bit of history; cruise on the Queen Elizabeth 2.
