Queen Mary II Painted Cruise Ship Model
This Item Is Currently Out Of Stock!
Named after her predecessor the Queen Mary, the magnificent RMS Queen Mary II was the longest, widest and tallest passenger ship built at the time of her construction in 2003. Weighing 151,400 gross tons this gargantuan ocean liner was also the heaviest.
She has since lost that honor to Royal Caribbean International’s 158,000 gross ton FreeAom of the Seas cruise ship in April 2006. However, the grand Queen Mary remains the largest ocean liner (as opposed to cruise ship) ever built. She still holds as the tallest, longest and deepest waterline depth of all passenger ships.
Queen Mary II was built to compliment the RMS Queen Elizabeth II as the Cunard’s flagship replacing her transatlantic crossings. Her bountiful amenities include
fifteen exquisite restaurants and lively bars, five different swimming pools, a captivating casino, an elegant ballroom and an out of this world planetarium.
Queen Mary II is not a basic steamship like her predecessors, but is powered by gas turbines and diesel engines. She has four electric podded propulsors that are powered from these powerful engines. Even though she is used for cruising purposes occasionally, she is a considered a transatlantic ocean liner like her predecessors, as opposed to a cruise ship.
