QE2 Enriches its Heritage Attractions with Two New Installations
Set against the backdrop of one of the most storied vessels in the world, these two installations provide guests and visitors with a deeper, more immersive encounter with the history of the QE2, a liner that defined an era of luxury ocean travel and hosted some of the greatest names of the 20th century.
Ferghal Purcell, General Manager of the Queen Elizabeth 2 Hotel, stated: 'The QE2 is more than just a ship, it is a floating museum of memories, a vessel of stories that span generations. With these new attractions, we aim to bring our rich legacy to life, from her royal beginnings to her iconic status as a global voyager, in ways that are interactive, educational, and emotionally engaging. Whether you are a maritime enthusiast, a student of history, or a curious traveller, the QE2 offers an experience like no other in the region. With these additions, we invite guests to relive her most iconic moments and celebrate the timeless grandeur of maritime history – right here in the heart of Dubai.'
The Queen Elizabeth 2 continues to draw guests from around the world who wish to step into a chapter of history. The new attractions mark the latest milestone in an ongoing effort to preserve, interpret, and celebrate the ship's legacy.
QE2 Making Headlines
QE2 Making Headlines showcases a priceless collection of original, special edition publications from 1969 highligting the ship's global impact and royal significance from the very beginning. These framed newspapers showcase the global coverage including the fanfare and grandeur that surrounded her maiden voyage. The exhibit offers a rare glimpse into how the Queen Elizabeth 2 was celebrated as a modern marvel, a new era of ocean travel immortalised in print.
QE2 Majestic Moments
QE2 Majestic Moments is an immersive, multimedia storytelling experience that transports guests through the ship's legendary timeline. Through a curated selection of archival images, rare videos, and historical narratives, this installation brings to life the most iconic milestones in QE2's journey, from royal visits and record-breaking voyages to celebrity guests and world events. Designed as an interactive tribute, it invites viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with the ship's rich past in a way that's both informative and emotionally resonant. It's not just a display, it's a moving portrait of a liner that changed the course of maritime history.
The heritage exhibits are now open to all hotel guests as part of the QE2's onboard experience. Guided heritage tours are available daily, offering guests a glimpse into the ship's royal past, its design brilliance, and its legendary voyages across the globe.

Raki Phillips steps down as RAK Tourism chief for Accor post
Raki Phillips (CEO of RAKTDA) is taking on a new leadership position at Accor. One of the UAE's most prominent tourism figures, Raki Phillips, is set to leave his role as CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA) and take on a major new leadership position at hospitality giant Accor. From November 2025, Phillips will become regional president for Accor's Premium, Midscale & Economy (PME) division across the Middle East, Africa and Türkiye. He succeeds Paul Stevens, whose tenure with Accor spans nearly three decades. Phillips brings over 20 years of experience in global hospitality and destination development. During his six years at RAKTDA, he helped transform the northern emirate into one of the region's fastest-growing and most progressive tourism destinations. Under his watch, Ras Al Khaimah tripled its tourism revenues, expanded international air connectivity, secured the landmark Wynn Resorts deal – the largest foreign direct investment in the emirate – and launched wide-ranging sustainability initiatives. READ MORE: Prior to his role in government, Phillips held senior roles at Fairmont Raffles Hotels International, where he supported the ramp-up of high-profile properties including the Fairmont, Raffles and Swissôtel Makkah Complex. His earlier experience includes time with Ritz-Carlton and Universal Studios Orlando, giving him a well-rounded view of both luxury operations and global entertainment-led hospitality. Accor's CEO for the PME division in the Middle East, Africa & Asia Pacific, Duncan O'Rourke, described Phillips as a 'rare combination of commercial agility, regional knowledge, and purpose-led leadership,' adding that his appointment is key to strengthening Accor's local leadership across the region. Phillips will now oversee a network of over 250 hotels across 27 countries, with more than 85 properties in the pipeline. He will be based in Dubai and manage a diverse brand portfolio including Swissôtel, Pullman, Mövenpick, Novotel, Mercure and ibis. His arrival comes at a time of momentum for Accor, with more than 350 hotels and 92,000 rooms across the region, and a development pipeline of over 140 hotels. Key markets such as the UAE, Egypt and Saudi Arabia continue to drive performance and investor interest.
