POST 1999 REFIT VERSION OF QE2 Queen Elizabeth 2 , often referred to simply as the QE2 , is an ocean liner built for the Cunard Line which was operated by Cunard as both a transatlantic liner and a cruise ship from 1969 to 2008. She was designed for the transatlantic service from her home port of Southampton , UK, to New York, and was named after the earlier Cunard liner RMS Queen Elizabeth . She served as the flagship of the line from 1969 until succeeded by RMS Queen Mary 2 in 2004. Designed in Cunard's then headquarters and regional offices in Liverpool and Southampton respectively, and built in Clydebank , Scotland , she was considered to be the last of the great transatlantic ocean liners until the construction of the Queen Mary 2 was announced.Before she was refitted with a diesel power plant in 1986/87, QE2 was also the last oil-fired passenger steamship to cross the Atlantic in scheduled liner service. During almost forty years of service, the QE2 undertook regular world cruises and latterly operated predominantly as a cruise ship , sailing out of Southampton , England. QE2 had no running mate and never ran a year-round weekly transatlantic express service to New York.
