I te marama o Tihema 1998, i tukuna e Cunard nga korero mo te Kaupapa Kuini Meri, te kaupapa ki te whakawhanake i tetahi kaipuke ka whakakii i a Kuini Elizabeth 2. I karangatia a Harland me Wolff o Ireland ki te Raki, Aker Kværner o Norway, Fincantieri o Itari, Meyer Werft o Tiamana, me Chantiers de l'Atlantique o France ki te tono mo te kaupapa. I hainatia te kirimana ki a Chantiers de l'Atlantique, he kamupene o Alstom, i te 6 o Noema 2000. Koinei te whare waka i hangaia ai nga hoa whakataetae o Cunard, ko te SS Normandie me te SS France o te Compagnie Générale Transatlantique.I whakatakotoria tana tihi i te 4 o Hurae 2002, i te tauranga hanga i Saint-Nazaire, France, me te nama G32. Tata ki te 3,000 nga kaitoi i whakapau tata ki te waru miriona haora mahi i runga i te kaipuke, a tata ki te 20,000 nga tangata i uru tika, i kore ranei ki tana hoahoa, hanga, me te whakakao. I te katoa, 300,000 nga waahanga maitai i whakahiatohia ki roto i nga "papa" 94 i waho o te tauranga maroke, i whakanohoia ka whakakotahihia hei whakaoti i te anga me te hanganga o runga.
