Gingerbeer73 :- Haven't they heard of rising sea levels ? last time I looked the QE was a boat, it should be able to keep up with rising water levels

Hi

The veteran of 25 world cruises and more than 800 transatlantic crossings will undertake its final commercial voyage from Southampton to Dubai in November next year.

Cunard will then hand the liner over to its new owners, Istithmar, the Dubai Government’s investment arm, in a £50.5 million deal that demonstrates the Gulf emirate’s continued commitment to investment in its tourist industry.

The QE2 will be then berthed off Dubai’s futuristic Palm Jumeirah development, the world’s largest man-made island on which many celebrities have bought property.
