An ocean-liner doubling as a nautical museum, this famed ship is an exciting place to bring grandchildren, most of whom have probably not experienced the once-glamorous world of sea travel. Attractions include an exhibit on spy technology, and a “ghost tour” tracing the haunted history of the boat. A fancy restaurant and restored Art-Deco bar add to the timeless quality that makes the Queen Mary such an enchanting and enduring landmark.
