QE2's average speed (service speed) is 28.5 knots.
A more interesting fact - however - is that the average speed over her entire 39 year service life - including time spent stationary in ports or when being refitted - was around 24 knots. This speed is actually faster than most cruise ships can achieve at maximum speed. The reason for QE2 having such a high speed is in order to be capable of maintaining a 5 night transatlantic crossing schedule - she needed 28 knots for that - but she needed more to 'catch up' if delayed, or caught in a storm etc.
