Once the flagship of the Cunard White Star Line, the elegant ocean liner RMS Queen Mary sailed the transatlantic route between England’s Southampton, France’s Cherbourg, and New York City from 1936 to 1967. Now permanently moored in Long Beach, California, the ship has been repurposed into a floating hotel, restaurant, and special events venue. Visitors can explore its historic decks, dine in its restaurants, and even stay overnight in its cabins, experiencing a slice of maritime history. The Queen Mary stands as one of the area’s key tourist attractions, offering a unique blend of nostalgia and modern amenities.
