Captain's Quarters Bridge

This area features the captain’s bedroom and day room; the accommodations were comparable to a first-class suite. Visitors can also see the quarters of the Staff Captain, Chief Engineer, The Captain’s Steward (known as The Tiger), various types of uniforms, memorabilia, and much more.

Radio Room Bridge

The Radio Room houses some of the original equipment used by The Queen Mary during her incredible career. The current radio room features an array of amateur radio equipment used to broadcast communications around the world. Guests walking past the exhibit are likely to have a front-row seat of a real broadcast, as this space has been actively used since 1979.

Isolation Ward Stern AFT

Passengers known to be suffering from an infectious disease, those with lice, or those who received medical treatment in the onboard hospital were confined to the privacy of the Isolation Ward. This eerily quiet space wasn’t just used for ill passengers, but it would also house any stowaways who were captured during a voyage. This space has become a favorite haunt for paranormal YouTubers and investigators alike. Visitors will find a long list of stowaways, as well as all known recorded deaths during the ship’s career.

Commodore's Office Promenade Deck

Formerly the Austin Reed of Regent Street clothing store (a famous, luxury brand clothier), the Commodore’s Office is now the day room of our ship’s Commodore, Everette Hoard. Much of this space is still very much original and intact. The Commodore’s Office features several of the ship’s lavish furnishings, as well as some pieces from Commodore’s private collection. Guests are encouraged to stop in for a visit or even just a photo with the Commodore, our Staff Captain, or Chief Officer.

QM Heritage Room Promenade Deck

See the ship through the eyes of those who served and sailed aboard her. The Queen Mary Heritage Room features video interviews of former crew members, war brides, and soldiers — all of whom share fond memories of this historic vessel. This rich history is the very foundation of the ship’s enduring legacy.

Ship Model Gallery Promenade Deck

This incredible exhibit features numerous models showcasing The Cunard® Line’s fleet including the historic RMS Britannia to ships from the current fleet. Undoubtedly, the real showstoppers are the giant cutaway models of RMS Lusitania, SS Normandie, and RMS Titanic. These highly detailed, 1/48th models were all lovingly handmade by Father Roberto Pirrone of Gardena, California.

WWII Gun Bow Forward

During WWII, the ship was outfitted with anti-aircraft weaponry to defend herself. This 40 mm artillery is the same type of defensive weapon used onboard to safely carry nearly a million troops throughout the war.

Music Room Promenade Deck

The Music Room was a place where musicians, entertainers, lecturers, and radio personalities could rehearse. This upright piano is original to the ship; however, when the ship was in service, a baby grand piano nearly filled this space.

Children’s Playroom Promenade Deck

This is the original location of the Cabin or First-Class Playroom. There were three playrooms available for the younger set on The Queen Mary. Each had a specific look, but all contained numerous toys for children. A Stewardess was assigned to oversee the youngsters. She would often gather the little ones and read to them. Play continued until the parents came to collect their children.

The original artwork in this display came from the Tourist and Third-Class Children’s Playrooms. The furniture is from all three classes.

Travel Bureau M-Deck

This is the original Cabin, or First-Class travel bureau, as it was remodeled after WWII. The desks and chairs are those that were aboard when the ship sailed to Long Beach. Original desktop accessories and copies of brochures show what would have been found when a passenger wished to make further travel arrangements. Here one could book another cruise on The Queen Mary or other liners and make train or plane reservations.

The Cunard Story A-Deck

Firehouse A-Deck

Fire was a constant concern for “The Ship of Beautiful Woods.” The Fire Station was not only the first line of defense to protect the ship, but it was also filled with top-of-the-line technology that’s still impressive, even by modern standards.

B340 Stateroom B-Deck

A mysteriously vague entry in the ship’s log, dated September 1949, states that a passenger was found dead in his cabin, which is now the hotel room referred to as B340. While no name was given, legends have claimed the victim as “Walter.” There is much lore surrounding Walter and the events that occurred in B340 and many believe that Walter is a vengeful spirit who loves to make his presence known. Reports of strange activity in B340 span from the ship’s days as an ocean liner to the present day. Perhaps all the activity is just Walter trying to get someone to listen to his side of the story. If you’re feeling brave enough, ask him yourself. He might just tell you.

First-Class Pool Viewing Area R-Deck

Ask just about any paranormal investigator or medium about haunted locations aboard The Queen Mary and you’ll probably hear many stories about the first-class pool. Why? Many believe this to be the most-haunted room aboard. Whether you hear about the ghost of a little girl named “Jackie” who loves to sing and play hide-and-seek with guests or legends about this space becoming a “vortex” (whirlpool of energy) which allows spirits to pass between realms, seems like there’s one thing everyone can agree on: this famous Art Deco pool has become one of the most-visited locations on the entire ship.

Engine Room Visitor’s Center/D-Deck

Venture down to the Engine Room and see the very heartbeat of this massive ship! Each of the two Engine Rooms contained two of the ship’s four powerful engines. These steam-powered turbine engines produced 40,000 horsepower each. When Queen Mary was speeding across the Atlantic at 28.5 knots, these engines would be turning the ship’s massive propellers three times every second! Fans of the paranormal will want to brave the Engine Room's lower level to check out the infamous watertight door 13, where guests often hear a wrench banging against the door.
