Length: 339m (1112ft)
Breadth: 38.6m (126ft) at waterline

so the current Voyager-class cannot be wider than QM2. The 157ft probably refers to the bridge wings.

Here are QM2's measurements:

Length: 345m (1132ft)
Breadth: 41.1m (135ft)

Its bridge wings measure 147.5ft.

**************************************************

Length o.a. : 311 m (1,020 ft)
Breadth wl : 38.6 m (126.6 ft)
Breadth max : 48 m (157.4 ft) - 49.1 m (161.1 ft)
Draught dwl : 8.6 m (28.2 ft)
Height to top of funnel, approx. : approx. 63 m (207 ft)
Gross tonnage, approx. : 137,276 UMS (VY & AD) - 137,308 UMS (EX) - 138,298 UMS (NV & MA)

So because the 'Ultra Voyager' will have a modern cruise ship superstructure which means pushed as far forward and aft as possible, she will be the largest cruise ship afloat.

Correct. Only in enclosed space, but she shouldn't be in displacement terms. QM2 is longer, wider, taller and all steel and should be heavier (empty or full with water/oil, etc.).

Note: the maximum breadth is not the hull but in the superstructure, and should be referring to the bridge wings.

Is the 157 feet the width of bridge wings or is the true width of the hull?? It seems that the cruise lines get a little creative with tonnage and dimensions as they have for decades. I have posted before that if QM2's upper verandas/cabins were pushed outward to line up with the hull, she would weigh in as at least 160,000 tons or much more. As an example, I wrote that when QE2s veranda suites were added in 1972 and '87, her tonnage went from 65,000 to 67,000 and finally 70,000 tons. A difference of 5000 tons than when first built.

This happend whene P&O m.s. Oriana came in service she was the largest passenger vessel in Brittain. So Cunard anounced that QE2 was larger thene Oriana. It's al publicity.

before ww2 in the Great depression company's make there ships smaller to safe money. The t.s.s. Statendam 3 frome HAL was a 29.000 tonner whene entering service in the midt of depresion she lose some waith she masured 28.000 tonnes. So you see very creatif.

Sorry, but you are wrong about the 164 feet. Ocean Liners is correct. According to Cunard (who actually know the dimensions of their ship) the wing-tip to wing-tip width of the bridge of QM2 is 147.5* feet and that is the maximum width of any part of the ship. The maximum width of the hull occurs at midship and is 135 feet.

*The 4-page information sheet that was given to passengers aboard QM2 on her maiden transatlantic voyage in April, rounds this figure to 148 feet.
