Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2 arrived in Los Angeles on January 23, 2006, during her annual World Cruise. Illuminated at Berth 93 that evening, the legendary ocean liner was nearly 37 years into her Cunard career and less than three years from retirement, yet still making long-distance voyages around the world.

On July 15, 2004, the Marco Polo (Orient Line) graced the majestic Geirangerfjord and the town of Geiranger, Norway, providing a picturesque scene captured from the deck of the Queen Mary 2.

On Day 3 of our July 2004 Northern Europe cruise, Queen Mary 2 (Cunard Line) anchored off South Queensferry on July 13 during her inaugural year. Positioned in the Firth of Forth near the historic Forth Bridge, the call provided access to Edinburgh while offering distinctive views of Cunard's new flagship against one of Scotland's best-known maritime and engineering landscapes.

In April 2002, the Elation (Carnival Cruise Line) offered passengers an enchanting voyage along the Mexican Riviera, featuring the picturesque ports of Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas.

In January 2001, we sailed aboard Viking Serenade (Royal Caribbean International) on a three-day cruise from Los Angeles to Ensenada, Baja California. These photographs show the ship docked during our visit, toward the end of her years operating short cruises from Southern California.

Our cruise aboard Viking Serenade (Royal Caribbean International) brought us to Ensenada, Baja California, in March 2000. This photograph shows the ship docked during our visit, when she was a familiar part of Royal Caribbean’s short-cruise service from Los Angeles.

Queen Elizabeth 2 (Cunard) crossed the North Atlantic from New York to Southampton in April 1999 during the year marking the 30th anniversary of her entry into service. The voyage was the final transatlantic leg of QE2’s 1999 World Cruise and was also our honeymoon, making this gallery both an important part of the Ocean Liner Photography archive and a personal record of travel aboard one of the most celebrated ocean liners of the twentieth century.
