  Famous English ocean liners the Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Mary II visited Cozumel at the end of last month.

The ships usually cruise the North Atlantic and the rest of the world. They visited Cozumel as part of a special winter cruise offered by their owners, Cunard.

Unlike many cruise ships that visit Cozumel, the two Queens are 'liners' capable of longer journeys and transatlantic crossings.
