Cunard Line has released details of a refit of the company’s flagship, Queen Mary 2, in preparation for her eighth birthday in January. Slated to take just 14-days, the redesign will include all staterooms, the Canyon Ranch Spa and the ship’s numerous restaurants and clubs. The company is working with the designer involved in the Queen Mary 2’s original design.
“Queen Mary 2 is an iconic leader in the world of luxury ocean travel and continues to receive high ratings by guests and the cruise industry,” said Peter Shanks, president of Cunard. “A ship that still turns heads everywhere she goes, she is unquestionably the pride of our fleet. We are committed to maintaining that impeccable reputation, and this significant refurbishment is an important investment on behalf of our guests.”
The upgrade will require a team of thousands of workers replacing the equivalent of almost ten football pitches of carpet and manufacturing about 18 square miles of fabric into over 6,000 individual items.
