Queen Mary Rolls Out New Annual Membership Program

LONG BEACH, CA — The City of Long Beach announced the first-ever annual membership for the Historical Queen Mary, which will help fund ongoing conservation and restoration efforts for the ship.

The benefits of the memberships will not be implemented until spring 2023 when additional elements and amenities on the ship start to reopen, officials said.

“We hope this first of its kind membership opportunity will continue the public’s excitement and anticipation as we move closer to reopening additional amenities onboard the ship next year,” said outgoing Mayor Robert Garcia. “This also gives community members the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing preservation of the ship through their membership fee donation.”

So far, only the first tier of the membership program, the Tourist Class Membership, is available to purchase at $150. Additional tiers will be available in spring 2023.

The Tourist Class Membership benefits include:

• General admission with limited block out dates
• Two general admisiion day passes annually
• Hotel guest pricing for attractions, exhibits and tours
• A 24-hour member presale on Queen Mary Signature Events
• Discounted ticket pricing for Queen mary Signature Events

"The Queen Mary truly is a treasure that is beloved near and far," said First District Councilwoman Mary Zendejas. "This new membership program gives people from all over the opportunity to play a part in the ongoing preservation of the ship, while getting great benefits."

With these memberships, the Queen Mary Heritage Foundation was reinstated. Long Beach Heritage is a nonprofit dedicated to historic preservation advocacy and education.

“The Foundation looks forward to continuing its mission and is excited to welcome the new membership program to our efforts, where community members can personally contribute to the ship’s preservation through this annual membership opportunity," said Queen Mary Heritage Foundation Historic Resources Advisor John Thomas.
