The Queen Mary 2 is 1132 feet or 345 meters long. The ship weighs 151,400 tons and is 236 feet tall from keel to funnel. Cunard explains the ship's height limitation by noting that it must pass underneath New York's Verrazano Narrows Bridge to port in Manhattan.
The Queen Mary 2 can carry as many as 3,090 passengers and has a crew of 1,238. Of the 17 decks, 14 are passenger accessible.
