「クイーンエリザベス２世号」のお土産として作られたコンパクト。純白の背景に繊細な船のシルエットが描かれています。パナマ運河を通るために細長く、それゆえに「優美」と表されているこの船は、「クイーンエリザベス号」の後継としてイギリスキューナード社によって1969年に就航し、当時最大級でした。最近まで大西洋横断や世界一周クルーズなどで活躍し、2008年に現役引退、2018年にドバイにて海上ホテルに生まれ変わりました。

This compact was created as one of the gifts related to the Queen Elizabeth 2, and depicts the liner floating on a pure white background. A compact that pays tribute to the Queen Elizabeth 2, an ocean liner built by Cunard in England to succeed the Queen Elizabeth as its flagship. Known as the QE2, the liner, which made its maiden voyage in 1969, owes its much-lauded graceful look to the fact that it was designed to be slender enough to pass through the Panama Canal. It continued to be used for transatlantic crossings and round-the-world cruises right up until its retirement in 2008, and was reborn as a floating hotel in Dubai in 2018.
