Cunard Queen Elizabeth 2 Turns 40

September 15, 2007 by admin 

There was cause for celebration at Cunard and for maritime enthusiasts the world over today when former flagship Queen Elizabeth 2 had her 40th birthday. Although she was christened in 1969, she was first floated two years before.

Queen Elizabeth 2 has travelled the world in many capacities but her recent role has been that of a cruise liner operating from Southampton in the United Kingdom. Her last function will be as a floating hotel in Dubai when Cunard retires her from active service next year.
