The historic Queen Mary ocean liner is the most iconic element of the Long Beach skyline. The 1930s-era Cunard ship is permanently docked on the waterfront as a floating hotel and attraction. Overnight stays include self-guided admission to the ship’s exhibits and discounts on day tours, like Haunted Encounters and The Glory Days tour that highlights the ship’s WWII history. The Queen Mary offers several shopping and dining options on board, including The Chelsea Chowder House and Bar. The Observation Bar is a time capsule of 1930s Art Deco with its original mural over the bar. Have a drink at sunset, and enjoy live music on select evenings. The highly rated Royal Sunday Brunch in the Grand Salon offers champagne, live music, cuisines from around the world, and a carving station serving prime rib and leg of lamb. The ship’s festival grounds host events like Day Trip, Insomniac, and Shaqtoberfest.
