Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2), the most famous ocean liner in the world, made her final call to New York and her last Cunard Royal Rendezvous in America with sister ship Queen Mary 2 during her farewell season in service.
QE2 sailed into New York in tandem with Queen Mary 2 after a signature transatlantic crossing from Southampton, England. That same night, she departed on her 806th and final transatlantic crossing again with Queen Mary 2 amid nautical fanfare and celebration in New York Harbor.
Since the royal naming of QE2 by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1967, she has logged nearly 6 million nautical miles and carried over 2.5 million passengers. The regal ship will complete her service in November 2008 as Cunard's longest-serving liner.
