The legendary Queen Elizabeth 2 (1969-2008) has been replaced by the larger, slower but still amazing Queen Mary 2 (QM2). QM2 was designed to cross in 6 nights, but is now timetabled to mostly take 7 days in order to save fuel.
QE2's record crossing was 3 days and 20 hours for the crossing, but for over 30 years she maintained a 5 night crossing schedule.
This was later increased to 6 days to reduce wear and tear on the ageing ship, as well as to reduce fuel costs and make more money!
QE2 is 963 feet long (293.53m)
I worked on the QE2 as a wine waiter from 1995-1999, i was wanting to obtain a reference from yourselves. Brian Mulhern Ireland bmulhern@hotmail.co.uk

Around an hour, if you're using the QE2.

Titanic__Nope, not the Titanic. The QE2 is 953ft and the Titanic was 882.75 ft. So QE2 wins by a nose.If you are interested in comparing the Titanic to other modern ships, check out the website "Comparing Titanic to Modern Ships".QE2
QE2's keel was laid on July 2nd 1965, she was launched on September 20th 1967 and she sailed away from the shipyard on November 19th 1968 which would arguably be her date of completion. Her official maiden voyage was 2nd of May 1969.
The QE2 was longer than The Titanic.
