Details
Guided motor coach tour from San Diego to the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Bus picks up in La Mesa, Mission Valley, UTC, Carlsbad & Lake ForestAbout this Event
Step aboard one of the most famous ships in history! Back in the days when steamships were the quickest and most elegant way to travel, the Queen Mary was the world's most prestigious ocean liner and the first choice for high society. Travel with us to Long Beach and let an expert guide steer you through a fascinating behind-the-scenes "Glory Days" tour of this ship's rich background, mysterious legends, and paranormal curiosities. During her 31 years at sea, the Queen Mary transported the rich and famous across the North Atlantic until her final voyage from England to Long Beach in 1967 marked the end of a well-traveled era. After the tour you'll have free time to explore the ship's exhibits and photographs and enjoy lunch on your own. Then, just as you might during a port call on an actual cruise, you can remain on the ship or take our free "shore excursion" to Long Beach's popular Shoreline Village for more dining options and to view Queen Mary from dry land.
