Cunard Line’s flagship Queen Mary 2 has completed a major refurbishment that included updates to its staterooms, suites, spa, restaurants, bars and children’s zone. Tillberg Design Co., which was involved in the QM2’s original concept, developed the vessel’s new designs.

“A ship that still turns heads everywhere she goes, she is unquestionably the pride of our fleet,” said Peter Shanks, president of Cunard Line. “We are committed to maintaining that impeccable reputation, and this significant refurbishment is an important investment on behalf of our guests.”

The refurbishment of the 7-year-old ship, which has 1,310 staterooms and suites, took place at the Blohm & Voss Shipyard in Hamburg. Cunard said the upgrades included workers replacing the equivalent of almost 10 football fields of carpet and manufacturing about 18 miles of fabric into over 6,000 individual items.
