History
AI-generated

Queen Mary 2 serves as the flagship of Cunard Line and remains the only purpose-built ocean liner still in active service, designed by British naval architects and constructed in France. She was the longest and largest passenger ship ever built at the time of her construction, though she now holds the distinction of being the largest ocean liner ever built. The ship sails regular transatlantic crossings between Southampton and New York City, in addition to shorter cruises and an annual world voyage.
