The Queen Mary 2, built
by ALSTOM, has just completed its first year in service...

Yes,
the biggest longest, tallest and widest passenger liner ever built is now one
year old. Since entering service she has completed 13 Atlantic crossings,
travelled over 125,000 nautical miles, visited 22 countries and carried 130,000
passengers. She will complete a further 26 Atlantic crossings in 2005 in
addition to cruises to the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.

The Queen Mary 2 is naturally a great source of pride for all ALSTOM
employees at Saint Nazaire, where she was built by ALSTOM Marine. In Cunard's
own words, 'everything about this ship is superlative'.
