Cunard's longest-serving ship, the QE2, has been sold for €75mn and will become a floating hotel and museum in Dubai.
The QE2 will arrive in Dubai in 2009 and feature shopping and entertainment as well as accomodation.
The Queen Elizabeth 2, or QE2 as she is commonly known was the flagship of the Cunard Line for over 30 years. QE2 made her maiden voyage in 1969 and is one of the last great Transatlantic liners. At 70,327 tons and 963 feet long with a top speed of 32.5 knots she is also one of the largest and fastest passenger vessels afloat.
