\"Queen<\/a>

Queen Elizabeth II<\/p><\/div>\n

When the QEII\u00a0retired, a Dubai firm bought her for $100million with a view to turning the iconic ship into a luxury hotel.<\/p>\n

The plan was\u00a0to transform the liner into a majestic hotel,\u00a0however this fell victim to the 2009 financial crisis in Dubai.<\/p>\n

The iconic ship is now set to be the main attraction in the rejuvenation of Port Rachid,\u00a0the Dubai commercial port where she is currently moored.<\/p>\n

Traditionalists will be pleased that the owners have\u00a0realised people like the ship as she originally looked\u00a0instead of\u00a0something totally different. Rather than being rejuvenated into a 1,000 room floating\u00a0resort, the\u00a0QEII will now\u00a0keep\u00a0300 authentic rooms along with many original fittings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
