This collection features original paperwork and memorabilia from our unforgettable honeymoon crossing aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) during her historic 30th Anniversary Transatlantic voyage—Voyage 1160—from Southampton to New York, April 14–20, 1999. This sailing also marked the final leg of the QE2’s 1999 World Cruise.

These original tickets, menus, and daily programs come from my friend Alan Rowe’s westbound crossing aboard RMS Queen Mary (Cunard Line) in September 1964. Traveling in Tourist Class, Alan was heading to the United States to study music in Boston. The documents offer a detailed glimpse of passenger life aboard the liner during her final years of transatlantic service.
