Cunard QE2 Sold

June 21, 2007 by admin 

One of the most famous cruise liners in the world, Cunard’s QE2, has been sold. Following her last cruise she will move into the ownership of Dubai World in November 2008. The sale will see Cunard net somewhere in the region of $100 million dollars. It is believed that QE2 would have required considerable updating following new legislation which would have cost Cunard more money than they were prepared to spend on an older vessel.

Just like her sister, Queen Mary, QE2 will become a luxury hotel. She will be sited at the world’s largest man-made island in Dubai’s The Palm Jumeirah complex.
