Advert Lucky Dip: Jun 1975: Atlantic cruises ad from Cunard QE2 (more at @OldUKPrintAds.bsky.social) (+Air/Sea Economy Packages and America '75 holidays) «Even if you miss the boat, you can still cross the Atlantic on the QE2.»

35 years ago today, QE2 was enroute to New York from Southampton. She would make the crossing in her fastest ever time of 4 days, 6 hours and 57 minutes at an average speed of 30.16 knots. Unlike older fast liners, she did that with just 2 propellors too. Now the crossing takes from 7 to 9 days.

#royal Queen Elizabeth II is shown around the new Cunard liner 'RMS Queen Elizabeth 2' or 'QE2' at Southampton by Cunard chairman Sir Basil Smallpeice (left), #OTD May 01, 1969. On the right is Commodore William Warwick, the liner's 1st master.

“From elaborate ice sculptures to fresh oysters and lobster. . . there was so much choice.” “The cocktail waiters were just magnificent. I've never seen mixologists like that before.” The QE2 set off on its maiden voyage #onthisday (2 May 1969) #foodanddrink 🍜 www.cntraveler.com/story/what-i...

On this day in 1969, the iconic QE2 set sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. After 39 years of service, 806 transatlantic crossings, and carrying 2.5 million passengers, she now serves as a floating hotel in Dubai. #QE2Anniversary #TravelHistory

Cunard Line's Queen Elizabeth 2 was built by John Brown & Company. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II launched the ship on September 10, 1967. Her maiden voyage in December 1968 was cut short by turbine trouble, but she completed her full maiden voyage #OnThisDay in 1969 from Southampton to NY.

Miss Star Queen 1988 on board the QE2

Here’s a wee throw back to Qe2’s final NYC departure in 2008. Such an unforgetable experience. It was quite an emotional day and qe2 seemed to say goodbye to Manhattan as she slid down the hudson sideways for such a long time before turning to meet QM2 and both sail back to the uk. #cruise #qe2

Verrazano Bridge, NYC and QE2’s final call into her other home port.

Only been in Queen Elizabeth once, very similar to Queen Victoria, our favourite. QM2 much larger & grander. Not heard good things about Queen Anne. QE2 was the best.
