Creator's Key Takeaways
The Queen Mary 2 is often called the only ocean liner still in service.
She launched in 2004, becoming the first true transatlantic express liner since the QE2 back in 1969.
At a colossal 345 m long and 149,200 gross tons, the QM2 isn't just big, she is the longest, tallest, widest, largest, and most expensive ocean lighter ever built.
Ocean liners, on the other hand, are passenger ships specifically designed to regularly make a line voyage.

Ocean Liners, on the other hand, are passenger ships that are designed to regularly undertake a line voyage, sailing between point A and Point B across an expanse of open ocean. 🎥 OUR EQUIPMENT: Camera - DJI Mimo Pocket 2: https://amzn.to/3XjXwQn Vlogging Mic: DJI Mic: https://amzn.to/3D3idJP Lav Mic: DJI Lavalier Mic: https://amzn.to/4klRgBA Voice Over Mic: Audio Technica: https://amzn.to/4ij8myg These are affiliate links meaning we may receive a small commission from any sales. -- 🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP: Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.
