The next time you plan your cruise trip and they assure you about your safety, just spare a thought that the unthinkable happened – The unsinkable cruise too went down. With nearly 100 years after it’s sinking on April 14, 1912, one of the most popular vessels of all time, Titanic is still the captivating the people as well as the scientists worldwide.
Fast, furious, fearless and fabulous. There are many more adjectives that I can associate with speed and beauty. I’ll describe the Transatlantic Ocean Liners as the Airbus A320 of olden days to some extent, but the ocean liners were much more exhilarating and much more exquisite. The transatlantic ocean liners changed the face of travelling and until the 1960s they were the only means of travel to other continents.
Even a blonde in a swimming costume (without it, I don’t know) won’t look as hot or as spectacular as Queen Victoria. At least that’s what I experienced when I was aboard on Queen Victoria. This cruise ship named after Queen Victoria is a classic Cunarder with amazing grandeur, stunning speed, and lavish luxury. Her basic design is similar to other Vista-class passenger vessels whereas at 90,000 gross tons, Queen Victoria is the smallest of [...]
Full of affluent history, classiness and opulence – that’s how I would like to describe Queen Mary. Her construction started in Clydebank, Scotland and was built by John Brown & Company from December 1930, at that time she was known as Hull Number 534. Her maiden voyage dates back to May 27, 1936 and acquired the Blue Riband in August 1936 itself which she lost and again recaptured in 1938. From her very first voyage [...]
Oh Boy! Even the Airbus A380 would fit in easily inside this transatlantic giant. RMS Queen Mary 2 is a transatlantic ocean liner and was one of the tallest, widest and longest passenger ships ever built and with her gross tonnage of around 151,400 tons, she was also the largest ship. One of the most magnificent ocean liners ever to exist, it is a dream travel experience to be on-board Queen Mary 2.
Her length, her curves, her spark, her charm; Everything was just perfect and eye candy. I am fanaticizing about RMS Queen Elizabeth, a truly spectacular ocean liner operated by Cunard Line. When Queen Mary sailed on her very first voyage, Sir Percy Bates, the Chairman of Cunnard, discussed with his ship designers regarding the planning of another ship, whose name as well as identity should be kept secret and was to be called as Queen [...]
Do you ever wonder who was responsible behind the designing as well as operation of some of the largest, fastest as well as longest ocean liners ever built? The world renowned Cunard Queens – RMS Queen Mary and RMS Queen Elizabeth have a special place in the history of ocean liners and were the most iconic man-made structures of all time.
Even a blonde in a swimming costume (without it, I don’t know) won’t look as hot or as spectacular as Queen Victoria. At least that’s what I experienced when I was aboard on Queen Victoria.

Ocean liners were replaced by the airplanes of jet-age and soon became defunct as a means of travel; especially as a means of crossing the Atlantic. But the allure of the great seas was not completely lost and the ocean liners were quickly replaced by cruise ships where the experience of the journey and not the travel became the main essence of boarding these ships. One of the most important
