The owners of the QE2 have applied to the Cape Town port authorities for permission to berth in the harbour, reports MailOnline.
The owners of the luxury liner, Dubai World, also own the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. Given the poor economic conditions in Dubai currently, and the need for accommodation in South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the owners have planned to bring the ship to Cape Town. The ship would also serve as a tourist attraction, with tours on-board for tourists planned.
The liner was set to have become a floating hotel on Dubai’s man-made Palm Jumeirah island.
