The Queen Elizabeth 2 has long since become a floating legend. LAunched in 1967, she was for three decades a cherished and beloved remnant from the age of the great ocean liners. So Cunard"s announcement, on the eve of the new Millennium, to build a new liner caused widespread interest. The Queen Mary 2 would not have been a true Cunarder had she not embodied a number of superlatives and, sure enough, when she entered service in 2004 she was the longest, widest, highest and most expensive passenger ship ever built. To further build on the success of these two ships Cunard commissioned the Queen Victoria, launched in December 2007.
With his fascinating mixture of maritime history and contemporary analysis, the author describes the history of the Cunard Line and of the careers of the new Queens; this beautiful book is both a lavish tribute of the world"s best-known shipping line and an intruguing examination of the world"s most famous cruise liners.
