<P> Like her predecessor Queen Elizabeth 2 she is built for crossing the Atlantic Ocean , though she is regularly used for cruising ; in the winter season she cruises from New York to the Caribbean on twelve - or thirteen - day tours . Queen Mary 2 's 30 - knot ( 56 km / h ; 35 mph ) open ocean speed sets the ship apart from cruise ships , such as MS Oasis of the Seas , which has a service speed of 22.6 knots ( 41.9 km / h ; 26.0 mph ) ; QM2 's normal service speed is 26 knots ( 48 km / h ; 30 mph ) . While the hull of a cruise ship will typically have a block coefficient of 0.73 ( 1.0 would represent a rectangular block ) Queen Mary 2 is more fine - lined , with a block coefficient of 0.61 . </P>
