Cunard Queens Rendezvous in Southampton

In yet another historic Cunard occasion, the Line's three Queens - Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Victoria - met yesterday in their homeport of Southampton for the first and last time.

QE2 and Queen Victoria arrived after completing milestone World Cruises: the final such voyage for the iconic "grande dame" QE2, set to leave Cunard's service in November, and the first World Cruise for Queen Victoria.

Queen Mary 2 arrived after concluding her first Transatlantic Crossing of the season and will transport the remaining World Cruisers from both QE2 and Queen Victoria back to New York, arriving April 28.

The three ships are the world's only passenger vessels that proudly display Southampton on their sterns.
