In 1967, the Queen Mary completed her final voyage from Southampton, docking in Long Beach, California, where she remains permanently moored. In the years since, the nearly one-century-old ocean liner has been transformed into a historic hotel and one of Long Beach’s top attractions, welcoming visitors to explore its storied halls and learn of the ship’s history through tours and onboard exhibits. The Queen Mary offers daily public tours and welcomes visitors onboard to learn more about the ship’s nearly 100-year history via exhibits and scheduled tours.

In the Southern California/Baja Gallery, you can meet giant sea bass, leopard sharks, eels, seals, sea lions, white abalone, and other species found locally or in Baja.

Travel through the Tropical Pacific Gallery to see colorful fish and other species that inhabit those warm tropical waters.

London Boat Rentals makes it easy for you to skipper your own boat around Alamitos Bay and through the Naples canals. Their 21-foot Duffy electric vessels accommodate eight people and cruise at a speed of five mph. Easy to navigate, you’ll be given a quick tutorial on using the boat and where to take it. Each boat comes stocked with popcorn and the London website has a list of restaurants that, if called 48 hours prior to your reservation, will deliver food to the dock for your trip. Looking for more of an adrenaline rush? Wave Runners are also available to rent.
