VALENCIA, Calif., Apr. 17, 2018 -- Dubai will welcome the most famous ocean liners in the world when the arrival of Queen Mary 2 coincides with the opening of the Queen Elizabeth 2 hotel.
Guests travelling on QM2 will have the opportunity to join VIPs and local media at the opening of the QE2 on 18th April.
Future guests will also have the chance to visit when QM2 returns to
Dubai in January and April 2019 as part of her World Voyage.
QE2 was launched by Her Majesty the Queen in 1967 and was the Cunard flagship liner (a role she relinquished to Queen Mary 2 in May 2004), undertaking 25 world cruises, crossing the Atlantic more than 800 times and carrying more than 2.5 million passengers. QE2 is owned by PCFC Hotels - part of the Dubai government’s Ports, Customs and Free Zones Corporation and will reside permanently at Mina Rashid, Dubai.
“On
behalf of Cunard, we are so excited for our guests sailing on Queen
Mary 2 to be of the first to board the QE2 Hotel in Dubai,” said Josh
Leibowitz, senior vice president, Cunard North America. “QE2 holds a
