QE2's service speed is 28.5 knots, but her maximum speed is 34 knots.

She is the most powerful twin-propellor ship in the world with 130,000hp from nine diesel engines being channelled through the two biggest electric marine motors ever built. She needed the speed to maintain a 5 night transatlantic crossing schedule - she had to be able to make up time if held up by bad weather - she regularly travelled at over 30 knots on this route and even in her final season - 2008 - was seen at well over 30 knots.
