The Titanic - but I would get off at Queenstown.

A very fine question.

daver, that was going to be my answer.

Failing that, the original Queen Elizabeth or Queen Mary, first class of course.

I'm trying to persuade my husband that a cruise would be a good idea, so at present I would settle for any ship that sailed somewhere warm and served me up 3 delicious meals a day.

supersal1, first class is a given. We can't be mixing with hoi polloi.

Easy - same ship, same crew as 1965-1966, Leander Class Frigate HMS AJAX. Not the most famous ship in history, but the one where as crew member I was happiest.

USS NAUTILUS - first true submarine, independent of the atmosphere. Especially under-ice voyage. So much unknown.

RV Calypso. When I was a young boy, I was fascinated by Jacques Cousteau. I loved the ship and even built a plastic model of it. Hopefully she will be returned to service again.

Maybe "Golden Hind". It made it back home safely after a momentous journey.

That would have to be the Titanic but it not sink

I would have liked to cross the pond in the 1930s 0r '40s.On a luxury ship of course, maybe the Normandy or Queen Mary. Sitting on my deck chair swaddled in furs, and a romantic stranger approaching...

One of the Egyptian ships that went to Punt so I found out where it was.

Only arguably a ship but I'd have liked to sail on Kontiki

One of Christopher Columbus' ships. Imagine sailing into the unknown and finding a land that no one in the known world had seen. He was far away from what the Vikings saw and I know they were there first.

I think I would sail on the Queen Mary, just to enjoy the luxury of it. Of course, you can spend the night on the Queen Mary where it is docked in Long Beach, California, but if it’s not sailing then it’s not quite the same thing.
