Steaming regally through the Panama Canal, the Queen Elizabeth 2 is probably the most famous, even revered, ship afloat. Christened in 1967 by the British monarch, she is the fastest and most powerful passenger ship in the world. |

Strolling the burnished decks of Cunard's flagship, this couple is walking aboard the last of the great liners. Even a generation ago, dozens of vessels ferried thousands of souls between Europe and America. Now, in a jet-set era, the QE2 is the only cruiseliner that makes regular transatlantic crossings. |
|
Renovated several times since her christening (most recently in 1995), the QE2 retains an English-club air. British accents and manners greet passengers in the ship's five restaurants, eight lounges, casino, and other venues. |
