Over the last 40 years she’s endeared herself to cruise passengers all over the world. Renowned not only for a luxury cruise experience, QE2 also won the hearts of many as she was requisitioned as a troop transport vessel during the Falklands war.

“Just returned from the "Roman Empire" cruise on the Holland America Westerdam. Having cruised with HAL before in the Caribbean I expected to enjoy my second cruise as well. It exceeded my expectations. The ports of call were all interesting, but it was our stay onboard which was the highlight of our holiday. We were also pleased with Iglu for the efficient handling of our booking for seven." C. McElroy
