Stately Ocean Liner with Original Guest Rooms

The Queen Mary's antique fixtures and vintage charm transport travelers back in time to the glamorous age of luxury sailing. First setting sail in 1936, the historic vessel served as a World War II troop ship and aquatic playground to myriad celebrities and royalty before retiring to the restive docks of Long Beach in 1967. Today's guests are greeted with a bottle of champagne upon check-in, the better to toast the trimmings of one of 314 original first-class staterooms. Cabins nod to the past with original art-deco built-ins and wood paneling while embracing modern amenities, including iPod-docking clock radios and HD flat-panel televisions. The size and layout of each room vary, and no two cabins are alike, ensuring an oceanic experience as uniquely authentic as a dolphin's thumbprint.

After exploring their lodgings, visitors listen as the storied ship whispers its bounty of salt-steeped secrets during one of four daytime historical tours. Ears hearken to themed journeys including Behind-the-Scenes, World War II, Haunted Encounters, and Ghosts & Legends Show. Pre- or post-jaunt, travelers feed culinary as well as historical cravings at one of the vessel's restaurants and lounges, such as the elegant Sir Winston's Restaurant & Lounge, or decrease wallet ballast at one of a dozen on-board shops. In the morning, lodgers enjoy one complimentary breakfast served at the Promenade Cafe, delving into a plate of eggs, hash browns, and coffee while imbibing the ship's unmatched waterfront views. Guests are welcome to take a leisurely stroll around The Queen Mary's sun deck, and the ship can also accommodate polite nautical pets within certain policy restrictions.

Long Beach: Outdoors, Arts, and Architectural Oddities

Visitors looking to stretch out their newly acquired sea legs can take advantage of The Queen Mary's bike-rental services and peacefully pedal through the shoreline pedestrian bike path. The Queen Mary offers bicycle rentals by the hour, half day, or full day, starting at $10 for three-speed cruisers and $20 for a surrey. After working up an appetite, guests can explore an array of nearby eateries serving cuisine for every mood and palate.

Lest eyes feel neglected, Long Beach's cultural landscape also offers a chance to sample unique artistic environs and architectural befuddlements. Sightseers can meander through the streets and shops of the East Village Arts District, and peruse the visual pyrotechnics of nearby museums and aquariums. Geometry buffs may marvel at the distinctive Walter Pyramid, as well as the aptly named Skinny House at 708 Gladys Avenue, reportedly built as a bet and measuring in at a slim 10-feet wide.
