About The Queen Mary

The Queen Mary is a retired Cunard ocean liner that crossed the Atlantic from 1936 to 1967 and now sits permanently docked in Long Beach. General admission gets you aboard to explore more than 23 exhibits, plus restaurants, bars and shops, with an introductory guided tour while space lasts. During World War II the ship served as a troopship and carried over 800,000 troops. You can also stay overnight, since many of the former first- and second-class cabins now operate as hotel rooms.
