Cunard’s Queens set for Sydney rendezvous
SYDNEY – Cunard Line’s newest ocean liner, Queen Elizabeth, will make maiden visits to three Australian cities in 2011 as part of her inaugural world voyage, which will include a Royal Rendezvous in Sydney with her big sister, Queen Mary 2.
Launching in December 2010, Queen Elizabeth will depart Southampton on her 103-day journey on January 5, 2011, and will make 35 maiden calls including visits to Sydney (Feb 22), Melbourne (Feb 25) and Fremantle (March 1).
Meanwhile, Cunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2 will visit Australia for a fourth time in 2011, with calls to Sydney (Feb 22), Adelaide (Feb 20) and Fremantle (Feb 17) during her 96-day world voyage which includes visits to South America, South Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean.
Queen Mary 2’s visit to Sydney on February 22, 2011 will form part of a Royal Rendezvous on Sydney Harbour with Queen Elizabeth.
Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth will also enjoy a Royal Rendezvous in New York with their sister Queen Victoria on January 13 – an historic first meeting of the three Cunard Queens which will follow a tandem transAtlantic crossing by Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.
The 2011 world voyage programme also offers a new way to see the world, with the opportunity to sail on three ocean liners in one full world voyage.
Guests can board Queen Victoria in Southampton to sail to New York, then transfer to Queen Elizabeth to sail from New York to Sydney before joining Queen Mary in Sydney for the return voyage to Southampton.
