The majestic cruise liner Queen Elizabeth II has had an extremely long and glorious history. Launched in 1967 in Clydebank, Scotland, she was designed to be one of the fastest and most [ ] passenger liners afloat. In 40 years, the QE2 has made some 800 Atlantic crossings and carried around 2.5 million passengers.
[ ] conceived in the modern 'space-age' style of the 1960s, much of the décor was altered over the years to become increasingly old-fashioned. This was due in part to the [ ] in the 1990s surrounding the much earlier ship, the equally famous Titanic, which made passengers nostalgic for an older style.
Apart from world cruises, the QE2 has played some [ ] roles. She took part in a rescue operation in 1971, when some 500 passengers were trapped on a burning ship, the Antilles. In one adventure, the ship survived a huge freak wave and on another occasion she hit rocks, which resulted in the evacuation of passengers while repairs were carried out.
Now, at the end of her [ ] career, the QE2 is permanently docked in Dubai, as a first-class floating hotel. Future [ ] will continue to be able to enjoy the splendour of this beautiful ship.
