The venerable Queen Elizabeth 2 has long since become a floating legend. Launched in 1967, she was for three decades considered the last of her kind, a cherished and beloved remnant from the age of the great ocean liners. So Cunard's decision, on the eve of the new Millennium, to build a new liner for the transatlantic service, caused widespread interest. The Queen Mary 2 would not have been a true Cunarder had she not embodied a number of superlatives and when she entered service in 2004 she was the longest, widest, highest and most expensive passenger ship ever built, at once a eulogy to maritime nostalgia and the embodiment of modern technology and design. To further build on the success of these two ships Cunard commissioned the Queen Victoria, launched in December 2007. Sporting the company's classic livery - black hull, white superstructure and red funnel - the ship is employed exclusively for luxury cruises from her homeport of Southampton. Cunard's new Queen Elizabeth will be in service in early 2011 and the author covers her design and commissioning. In this new, updated paperback edition the author describes the history of the Cunard Line, the first years in service of the Queen Mary 2, and the conception, building and launching of the Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth, before saying farewell to the QE2, which was retired in November 2009. This beautiful book is both a lavish tribute to the world's best-known shipping line and an intriguing examination of the world's most famous contemporary cruise liners. AUTHOR: Nils Schwerdtner has been interested in the history of passenger shipping since his childhood. He is the author of three books about maritime subjects as well as numerous articles and he regularly lectures on passenger liners. SELLING POINTS: *Only comprehensive study of these classic liners *Genuine wide appeal amongst ship enthusiasts, cruise passengers and those smitten with the appeal of luxury travel *Lavishly illustrated and completely up-to-date, with publication times to coincide with the retirement of QE2 ILLUSTRATIONS: 230 colour photographs, plans & illustrations

2008 was a magical year for Cunard. For the first time, the line had three Queens in service; Queen Elizabeth 2, Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria. Queen Elizabeth 2 retired during the year, and sailed for Dubai on 11 November, while Queen Mary 2 had reached her fifth anniversary as the largest ocean liner afloat and Queen Victoria entered service. On 13 January 2008, all three liners were together for the first and last time in New York. After a successful world cruise for Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth 2's twenty-sixth and final world cruise, all three ships rendezvoused in Southampton on 22 April for the last meeting of the three Queens. Bowing out after a successful farewell season that saw her sail full on every voyage of the year QE2 left Southampton amid the biggest fireworks display seen in the port since the advent of Queen Mary 2 five years earlier. No other ships envoke the magic that Cunard's Queens have done since Queen Mary entered service in May 1936. Since then, a Cunard Queen has reigned the ocean wave and for one short year, three Queens reigned supreme across the world's oceans. William H. Miller brings together a fantastic selection of images, with informative text, telling the story of Cunard's three legendary modern Queens.

This amusing insight into Cunard's legendary liners begins more than fifty years ago when Paul Curtis joined the original Queen Mary as entertainments officer. Over a Cunard high tea in the Queens Room, Paul recounts the stories of these iconic ships. Then, over a drink in the Red Lion, he shares the tales of the antics of both passengers and crews. The facts are delivered in vivid detail – some of them things you should know and an occasional peep at things you shouldn't. Simply turning these pages releases a sniff of the sea and a whiff of champagne. Paul has worked, travelled upon or photographed every Cunard Queen ever built. He has an offbeat sense of humour and a keen appetite for the ridiculous. A life at sea can do that to you.
