On April 22, Cunard’s three Queens will meet in their homeport of Southampton in the UK - an historic first for the company.
Queen Mary 2, company flagship and currently the largest ocean liner in the world, and Queen Victoria, the newest Cunard Queen, will salute QE2 on the day she celebrates the 39th anniversary of her official entry into service in 1969.
Carol Marlow, Cunard’s President and Managing Director, said, “We are delighted that this unexpected opportunity for Southampton to host our three ocean liners arose after we took the recent decision to have QE2’s scheduled 2008 refit in her homeport. We would like as many people as possible to witness this historic spectacle.”
All three ships will sound their whistles in salute before Queen Mary 2 departs on her first transatlantic crossing of 2008 (her 81st crossing).
