RMS Queen Mary 2

The RMS Queen Mary 2 (also known as the QM2) is a British transatlantic ocean liner purpose-built for passenger service. As of 2017, it is the only vessel of such nature in existence. It has served as the flagship of the Cunard Line since its succession of the Queen Elizabeth 2 in 2004.

The ship was officially named Queen Mary 2 by Queen Elizabeth II in 2004 after the original RMS Queen Mary constructed in 1936. Queen Mary had in turn been named after Mary of Teck, consort of King George V. With the retirement of Queen Elizabeth 2 in 2008, Queen Mary 2 is the only transatlantic ocean liner in regular service between Southampton, England, and New York City, United States. The ship is also used for cruising, including an annual world cruise.
