Happy Birthday Queen Mary 2! The Queen Mary 2, built by ALSTOM, has just completed it's first year in service..... QUEEN MARY 2
Yes, the biggest longest, tallest and widest passenger liner ever built is now one year old. Since entering service she has completed 13 Atlantic crossings, travelled over 125,000 nautical miles, visited 22 countries and carried 130,000 passengers. She will complete a further 26 Atlantic crossings in 2005 in addition to cruises to the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. The Queen Mary 2 is naturally a great source of pride for all ALSTOM employees at Saint Nazaire, where she was built by ALSTOM Marine. In Cunard's own words, 'everything about this ship is superlative'.
Queen Mary 2 statistics: Length: 345 Metres (1132 feet) Width: 41 Metres (135 feet) Weight: 151 400 tons Passengers: 2620 Crew: 1253
