In , Cunard Line celebrated its th anniversary. Cunard held the Blue Riband for the fastest Atlantic voyage for most of the next 30 years. In Cunard Line withdrew from year-round service to concentrate on cruising and summer transatlantic sailings for vacationers. In , Carnival Corporation acquired Cunard. Currently, Cunard is the only shipping company operating a regularly scheduled passenger service between North America and Europe.
The passenger ship RMS Queen Mary 2 is Cunard's current flagship, one of the most modern by design and technologies and currently the world's biggest ocean liner specifically designed for regular Transatlantic ocean crossings. QM2 was created with perfection, from bow to stern, with gorgeous public areas, lavish restaurants, ballrooms, theatres, bars and lounges, and even a Planetarium the first at sea.
In order for passengers to be well protected when the ship is moving fast 30 knots , invisible windscreens were built. Stephen Payne was the vessel's naval architect - a CCL-Carnival's designer, who resembled features of some former ocean liners. These aspects include three thick black lines which recall the appearance of the first Queen Mary. Because Queen Mary 2 is too large and cannot dock in all ports, the passengers are ferried in tenders to and from the ship. For transporting passengers to shore, tenders pull up to loading stations, which have large hull doors for hydraulically opening outwards and forming a boarding platform.
The vessel changed its flag-state in from London UK to Hamilton Bermuda in order to allow shipboard weddings at sea.
