⚓Long Beach just launched a Queen Mary annual membership program to support conservation and restoration of the ship ... and there are admission perks!!
For the first time since March 2020, the Queen Mary in Long Beach welcomed the public aboard Thursday for limited, sold-out, tours.
Limited guided tours of the Promenade Deck were made available to reserve Tuesday, Dec.13 and they were booked up in one day. The city of Long Beach released this statement,"Thank you for your interest in the free guided tours of the Queen Mary, available for the public for a limited time. Due to popular demand, all scheduled tours are now full.
The ship arrived in Long Beach in 1967 and the city has been the owner, but not always the operator of the vessel. Its former operator, Eagle Hospitality Trust, filed for bankruptcy last year and at that point the city took over operations for the first time in 40 years. The city reported that about 75 percent of the critical repairs inside the ship: electrical, plumbing and metal fabrication-related work, is expected to be complete by the end of this year, with the remaining internal critical repairs to be completed in early 2023.
