Creator's Key Takeaways

So, this image here originally was taken in Sydney, the ship earlier this year when it still has the 2016 refit changes made

That will of course include uh more deck space on top of deck 14 and the increased number of cabins there that fills in the space that was otherwise known as deck space

So, a bulkier ship, a much taller looking ship. I don't know. What do you think of the changes?

How different will the Queen Mary 2 look AFTER the massive 2027 refit? I am no photoshop pro but it dawned on me that the refit of QM2 will make her look a bit different on the outside - so here's my take on what it might look like with the deck plans we have published as of 2 June 2026.
