Following the success of last year’s event, the iconic Queen Mary in Long Beach will once again honor our nation’s heroes this Veterans Day with a day of celebration dedicated to veterans, active-duty military personnel, and their families. On Tuesday, November 11, from 11 AM to 3 PM, guests will enjoy free admission aboard the legendary ship, featuring special programming and family-friendly activities designed to commemorate and celebrate their service.
“We are honored to once again open our decks to the men and women who have served our country,” said Steve Caloca, Managing Director of The Queen Mary. “As a war veteran herself, the Queen Mary proudly welcomes fellow veterans and their families aboard for a day of reflection, gratitude, and celebration. It’s a privilege to create a meaningful day filled with special programming that reflects our deep gratitude for their service and sacrifice.”
Throughout the day, veterans and their guests can enjoy exclusive experiences, including meet-and-greets with the ship’s Captain and officers, arts and crafts, letter-writing to active troops, and live entertainment featuring patriotic performances by the USO Girls.
Admission also includes access to select self-guided tours of the ship’s renowned exhibits and spaces, including the Churchill Exhibit, Engine Room, Ship Model Gallery, The Wheelhouse, and The Shipyard. Guests looking to make the most of their visit can enhance their experience with guided tours, dining at the ship’s restaurants, retail shopping, and cocktails at the historic Observation Bar.
“The Queen Mary’s legacy of service as a troopship during World War II connects her deeply to this day of remembrance,” Caloca added. “It’s an honor to celebrate side by side with those who have shared in that same spirit of duty and resilience.”
