It seems like the Queen Elizabeth 2 has always been around. The QE2 has been everything: bearer of royalty going off on a cruise, and carrier of troops going to a war.

The QE2 can lay claim to being the world's most loved ship. First launched almost forty years ago, the ship is about to embark on another of its famed QE2 World Cruises. If you have the time and the money, this may be the moment for you to stake your place in this ageless ship's history.

The first QE2 World Cruise was in the mid-1970s, just a few years after launching. Dozens of world wide cruises and over five million nautical miles later, the QE2 is set to embark on another round the world cruise. The QE2 World Cruise itinerary covers 40 ports, each with its own unique character, in 23 different countries.

You may wonder what it's like being aboard a QE2 World Cruise. You can imagine the QE2 as a floating resort city subdivided into five suburbs. You will perceive this more during lengthy around the world cruises than short trans-Atlantic crossings.

The divisions are evident in your dining arrangements. The cabin accommodations you select determine your dining assignment. There are five main restaurants, ranging from the exclusive and formal Queen's Grill to the more mass-market environment of the main dining room.

There are many games and diversions for you on board. There are computer classes, cooking demonstrations, and enrichment lectures on diverse topics. You can play ping pong, shuffleboard, basketball or practice your golf putt.

You can visit the spa, but don't be too disappointed if the QE2 spa won't match up to the spas on newer cruise ships. There are dance workshops, which you'll need, so you can keep in step with the professional dancers who will dance with you during evening entertainments.
