In this full deck-by-deck walkthrough, tour the iconic QE2 during her final weeks of service in 2008. Explore her royal dining rooms, penthouse suites, and the engine room before she retired forever. QE2 (Queen Elizabeth 2) was the world’s most famous ocean liner, sailing 5.8 million miles and visiting Southampton 726 times over her storied career. Filmed just weeks before her retirement, this comprehensive video takes you from the top deck down to the machinery spaces to showcase the ship as she looked during her last days at sea. In this video, we tour: • Signal Deck & Bridge: The ship's navigation hub and high-above views • Boat Deck: Sun deck suites, the exclusive Queen's Grill, and the iconic wrap-around promenade • Upper Deck: The Chart Room, Golden Lion Pub, Crystal Bar, and Yacht Club • Quarter Deck: The famous Princess Grill, Caronia Restaurant, and the Queen's Room • Decks 1–5: Passenger accommodation grades and hidden amenities • Deck 6 & 7: The QE2 Spa, medical center, and indoor pool • Machinery & Below Decks: The 1986 diesel-electric engine conversion story HUGE THANK YOU TO ANTHONY DAVIS for the QE2 at sea images.
