Cunard Queen Mary 2 Casino

The company has cancelled all voyages on Queen Mary 2 until May 28, and all voyages on Queen Elizabeth until June 4. Sailings on Queen Victoria were already set to resume from May 17 so this. RMS Queen Mary 2 (built 2004, last refurbished in 2016) is the oldest and most famous of all Cunard ships – together with MS Queen Elizabeth and MS Queen Victoria. Because QM2 was built with the transatlantic crossing in mind, she is geared to provide a very substanal array of activities and entertainment for sea days. As a result, sea days are different than those on many other ships. The activities tend toward the intellectual and the cultural.

Another vessel, the world-renowned Queen Elizabeth II (affectionately known as the ‘QE2’), was retired in 2008 after almost 40 years of service.
