Cunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2 sailed into its U.S. homeport,
Brooklyn, on July 6 after a significant refit costing in the region of
$132 million.
Cunard said the ship "has been lovingly remastered with new
contemporary interior designs and guest experiences, many of which take
their design inspiration from the original Queen Mary."
A number of VIPs were in attendance at the U.S. Remastering launch
which included a day of celebration and fanfare. Arnold Donald, CEO of
Carnival Corporation & plc, commented on the occasion, “More than
any other ship in our Carnival Corporation fleet of more than one
hundred ships, Queen Mary 2 is the most famous, the most recognizable
and certainly the most unique. It was the dream of our Chairman Micky
Arison to build the Queen Mary 2 almost 15 years ago. He aspired to
recreate that luxurious ocean liner experience from the past and Queen
Mary 2 is the glorious result.”
The refit was conducted at a shipyard in Hamburg, one of the only shipyards in the world large enough to hold Queen Mary 2.
