The largest ship ever to visit New Zealand will be back in Auckland tomorrow.

Cunard Line's Queen Mary 2 will spend the day docked at Jellicoe Wharf as it is too large to fit into the main cruise terminal at Princes Wharf.

The Queen Mary 2 is 345 metres long and weighs 151,400 tonnes. More than 16,000 meals are served each day to the liner's 2,400 passengers, including 73kg of lobster and 3.3kg of Russian caviar, and the ship's two whistles can be heard from 16km away.

The Queen Mary is due to dock in Auckland around 9am tomorrow and will set sail again at 10pm tomorrow night, en route to Sydney.
