Britain\u2019s Famed ‘Queen Elizabeth 2’ Floating Hotel Opens in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
\nBritain\u2019s famed Queen Elizabeth 2 cruise ship will finally open as a floating luxury hotel moored off Dubai, nearly a decade after completing its last ocean voyage.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been another long trip for the ship known as the QE2 to even open to the public, as Dubai\u2019s financial meltdown and years of slow growth nearly sank the project and left the ship languishing at the port. After initially planning to gut the vessel, Dubai\u2019s government ultimately decided to restore the ship at a cost of over $100 million, down to replicating its 1960s carpeting, with work still underway.<\/p>\n

    History of ‘Queen Elizabeth 2’ Floating Hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
    • The QE2, built by Cunard and put to sea in 1969, is the second ship the company named after the wife of King George VI, not the current British monarch \u2014 hence the number rather than the Roman numeral.<\/li>\n
    • The luxury ship traveled some 6 million miles in decades of service even as airlines came to dominate trans-Atlantic travel. It carried 2.5 million passengers and crossed the Atlantic more than 800 times. Britain requisitioned the ship as a troop carrier for the Falklands War against Argentina in 1982.<\/li>\n
    • In 2007, Cunard sold the QE2 to an arm of the state-run conglomerate Dubai World for 50 million pounds ($100 million). She arrived to Dubai\u2019s Port Rashid the following year as part of a glitzy armada led by a mega-yacht owned by Dubai\u2019s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, at the height of the former British protectorate\u2019s real-estate bubble.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
