QE2 arriving next month

One of the world’s most celebrated cruise liners is currently making her final voyage. The Queen Elizabeth II (QE2) will arrive in Dubai on November 26 when she will be handed over to new owners Nakheel.

After arriving she will undergo an extensive refurbishment to recreate her original interior décor and fittings. She will then become a floating hotel, berthed at a pier on the Palm Jumeirah.

The 70,000 tonne vessel was launched by the Queen Elizabeth II in 1967 and has carried more than 40 million passengers and made more than 800 transatlantic crossings.
