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.

Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2 lights up the evening at Berth 93 in Los Angeles Harbor during her 2006 World Cruise. Her illuminated decks and distinctive funnel stand against the dark sky, capturing the presence of an ocean liner whose voyages connected generations of travelers with the traditions of life at sea. This photograph shows QE2 still in active service, more than three decades after her maiden crossing and less than three years before her retirement.

In April 1999, the iconic Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) (Cunard Line) celebrated her 30th anniversary transatlantic crossing from Southampton to New York City, marking not just a significant milestone in her service but also commemorating our own honeymoon returning from Europe.
