RMS Queen Mary 2 salutes Abu Dhabi's Azzam!

Amazing video of the Cunard Line RMS Queen Mary 2 overtaking and saluting Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!

[@albertcook1960]

A true Ocean Liner. She cuts through the big waves of the Atlantic Ocean like no other ship. And she is fast!

[@KitsuneDunx]

QM2 is the last ocean liner no a cruise ship D:

[@Theoriginalbigbrillo]

All Cunard Ships are Ocean Liners doh…………………………………………………………... They are the only Ocean liners in the World at this time ;)

[@nx9100]

Actually, only the QM2 is a true liner. Elizabeth and Victoria are cruise ships, Vista-class to be specific.

[@JustCalMeBozeman]

@@nx9100 Correct, Queen Mary 2 is the only in service ocean liner left in the world. The Queens Elizabeth and Victoria are cruise ships, still wonderful vessels, but cruise ships nonetheless.

[@kaamkmca]

Wow!!! Amazed at the unapparent speed of the Queen Mary 2. Those guys in the yacht were moving pretty fast yet the Queen Mary 2 just glided past them at considerable speed with great ease. Amazing!!! Great video!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@enrgkid]

Jesus the QM2 has some speed!

[@nickburke5263]

yeah big liners do go fast they are deceptive when your on the water sailing with them.. if you cross a channel and think you have time but the liner starts going nuts at you on the horn probably means your wrong haha

[@ChumpyChicken2]

She can hit 34 knots

[@amtrak1214]

ChumpyChicken2 why can’t they do a high speed crossing every once in a while with QM2?

[@sierralvx]

It is just incredible seeing how fast that ship is! It's just rippping through the waves!

[@lasuvidaboy]

The Queen Mary 2 is the fastest ocean liner/cruise ship in service today. The Queen has a top speed of 30 knots (the retired QE2 had a top speed of over 30 knots). The QM2 was designed to cross the Atlantic between Southampton and New York in 6-days w/an average service speed of 25-27 knots. To lower the fuel consumption, the Queen was slowed down a few years ago and now crosses the North Atlantic in 7-8 days at around 19-20 knots. The ship is probably doing around 25 knots in this video.

[@jayombreVEVO]

lasuvidaboy Nice info. I wonder how it feels to be in the SS United States way back then ,cruising in 34.5 knots for 3 days and 10 hours Transatlantic. Still the only blue Riband holder. :)

[@ph89787]

24-25 knots. Thats about the Titanic's supposed top speed.

[@beniac_maniac4359]

Supposed. She wasn’t sailing at her full steam. Her boiler room 5 was running low and boiler room 1 hadn’t been connected to the engines yet. Also her 2 sisters had been never sailing at that speed...from what we know...We only saw that kinda thing on the Cunard twins

[@blewyd]

Only ocean liner. Even if the QM2 only went 1 knot it would be the fastest

[@brianprado5786]

lasuvidaboy it’s not a cruise ship it’s a ocean liner

[@mrpepeblogs4954]

i like how everyone is ignoring the fact that they are sailing where *Titanic* literally changed the shipping industry forever

[@Kaidhicksii]

It's no big deal at all. Ships have been sailing the transatlantic route long before the Titanic and, as you can see, still do so to this day. The only things the Titanic disaster changed were not being as reckless and naive and arrogant as we once were. Sad to say though we really haven't changed much at all as human beings. If anything, we've gotten worse.

[@equalevolution5563]

She’s the 2nd fastest liner in the world, only because someone had to build one faster just for that reason. Built to look grand & modern. Still one of the biggest. And believe it or not she has 2 rolls Royce turbines to suck air into the engines. A true masterpiece.

[@stevieb2020]

wow incredible, the speed is incredible for a ship so large, they looked to be going at some speed too!

[@kelvincruz3889]

[@dangraham9741]

the speed factor of those two boats is extra ordinary . . . . .. .

[@arminass1681]

What a gigantic ship

[@lasuvidaboy]

QM2 was designed to cross the Atlantic in 6-days at a speed of around 26-27 knots. Over the last few years QM2 has been slowed down to 20 knots to save fuel by not using the gas turbines and the crossing now takes from 7-8 days.

[@tompecena8573]

Generally she sails at 22-23 knots. I cross twice a year, minimum, and that seems to be the average

[@Amory98]

@@tompecena8573 lucky you! Could you allude to pricing roughly for a one way trip to New York? Also, does the captain still announce when she is near the coordinates where Titanic foundered?

[@amtrak1214]

Her service speed is 30mph which is fast enough to cross the Atlantic in 4 days

[@lasuvidaboy]

@@amtrak1214 That was the top speed during the sea trials. QM2 was designed as a ‘6-day ship’ as opposed to the earlier Queens which were faster and designed as 5-day ships with extra power for adverse weather delays.

[@amtrak1214]

@@lasuvidaboy I read that her service speed is 30mph

[@spidergem1]

That is cool The ship said “ hello there” Then “ goodbyeeeeee” Hope you had fun

[@fernandosanchezpastor5231]

I wonder whether the queen mary was speeding faster than the boat or the boat slowed down so they can appreciate the QM

[@toby1248]

QM2 is a very fast ship. It isn't even going close to full speed here

[@GLA741]

Never thought I'd see a Oceanliner haul ass pulling away from a lighter watercraft which you'd think are always faster than a ship. Just amazing, and its a sailboat their in it seems so makes sense it isn't faster haha

[@Amory98]

FYI she's not a "cruise" ship. She's an Ocean Liner, a proper ship that is. He ought to have known that.

[@akiylsimon1154]

Is it me or is QM 2 blazing pass these guys? Did they slow down?

[@DanM012324]

QM2 cruises at around 25 knots and a top speed of 30 knots.

[@theinterceptor7223]

She's blazin

[@karlreading3201]

The ammount of people taking issue because he called it a cruise ship (I went on a CRUISE of the Norwegian fjord on QM2 - trust me it makes a great cruise ship) frankly annoys me. Yes we know she’s an ocean liner but heck, it’s somatic, she’s a beast and what a fantastic video!

[@skmehbub5841]

What is difference between ocean liners ND cruise ship.

[@Kaidhicksii]

If you're still looking for an answer, I can help you at. Ocean liners are built to transport passengers from Point A to Point B. Since they operated year-round in the open ocean and could encounter very severe seas, their hulls were built extra thick to better endure the pounding they'd get. Additionally, they had long, knife-like bows and slender hulls to cut through the seas, and deep drafts which gave them a lower center of gravity, increasing their stability. They also had large amounts of power in order to achieve high speeds. Cruise ships are a more modern invention. Their hulls are not as thick since they generally operate in calmer, milder climates. They have shallow drafts in order to access more ports. Their bows are not as sharp as a liner's, nor are their hulls as slender. They tend to be very boxy in appearance, and their superstructure often exceeds the height of their hull, giving them a higher center of gravity. This is all to pack as many cabins, balconies and accommodations as possible, in order to fit as many people as possible and make as much money as possible. They are not well-designed to cope with harsh ocean storms, and rather than operating Point A to Point B voyages, they do round trip voyages, starting at one port, visiting others, and then returning to the same port to end the cruise.
