biggest isnt always best, this little beauty is only 25,000 tons, last cruiseliner built on the tyne and belonged to the same stables as the two BIG MOTHERS above, and was firstclass only, no 2nd or 3rd class, no other cunarder ever held this status, not bad for a ship built by (geordies) back in 1975 and still sails today, bry,s right, take a cruise on a smaller ship and be treated like a king for a fortnight
