Queen Mary 2 refit 2023

[Rob Lightbody]

Can anyone direct me to information about Queen Mary 2s latest refit?  I've seen a couple of photos on Twitter and I believe she's on sea trials today, but I don't have any information about what's been done.

I think Cunard might be trying to avoid QM2 news grabbing attention away from QA, but to me QM2 is far, far more interesting, even after 20 years.

Photos from Onno Heesbeen below, plus an article from a local paper just saying they replaced the mattresses amongst other things.

According to this website, it involved the cleaning and repainting of the hull, some technical maintenance on the bow thrusters, stabilizers and pods, plus some interior renovations.

I agree she's the last real ship of interest of the Cunard Line.

Cunard have posted on Facebook but it doesn't really add anything

Cunard tweet and video.

Well done and thank you Cunard, although the geek in me still wants to know more!

Here's to your next 20 years on the Atlantic Queen Mary 2 !

I can't believe it's already 10 years since I designed the 10th anniversary posters for her onboard bookshop...

Wishing QM2 a smooth and successful next decade.
