The world�s best loved cruise liner, QE2, arrives in Dubai at the end of her ultimate voyage on Wednesday 26 November. It is an event that will attract international attention and Nakheel would like to work with media in the UAE to ensure that they are a part of this landmark occasion.

Media outlets interested in covering the arrival of QE2 into are invited to make contact with the Nakheel press office at nakheel@fourcommunications.com or by calling 04 369 3728.

Once she arrives in Dubai, the ownership of QE2 will be transferred to Nakheel. Over the coming months she will undergo extensive refurbishment before taking her place at a specially constructed berth on the Palm Jumeirah � where she will become a floating hotel and must-visit attraction for many thousands of visitors and tourists.

QE2 has circumnavigated the world 25 times, crossed the Atlantic more than 800 times and carried more than 2.5 million passengers including kings and queens, prime ministers and presidents, astronauts and The Beatles. She survived a 95 ft wave during Hurricane Luis, carried 3000 troops to the Falklands War and rescued 500 passengers from a burning ship. She is a record breaker for both speed and endurance, has featured in countless films and television shows and draws crowds to every port she docks in.
