Explore The World on The Queen Mary II

Today, I’m taking you to the second largest, longest, widest and tallest passenger ship ever built, the Queen Mary 2. The ship has a casino, a ballroom, a theater, five swimming pools, fifteen restaurants and bars, and a planetarium. What is the planetarium doing in this boat? The Queen Mary 2 can serve 2,620 passengers and 1,253 officers and crew. It costs US $900 million and 3,000 craftsmen necessary to build it, and approximately 8 million working hours. In total, 300,000 pieces of steel were used. The QM2 took it’s first sea voyage on 21 March 2003.

Can you imagine that the ship contains 3,000 telephones? The passengers consume annually more than 1.5 million of drinks. They also order 230,000 bottles of wine, 55,000 pounds of coffee, 7,000 boxes of strawberries, 38,000 pounds of smoked salmon, 198,000 pounds of pineapples and enough beef to supply a small city for a whole year.

I couldn’t find the price for a holiday cruise with them. I hope it’s free, I want to go!
