It is understood to have been sailing to Le Havre, France, but got diverted.
Carrying 2,640 passengers, the transatlantic ocean liner - which has a regular service between Southampton and New York - is the oldest and the most famous vessel in the Cunard fleet.
The ship was officially named Queen Mary 2 by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2004.
