Royal rendezvous is a first for Sydney

Tuesday, 20 Jan, 2011 0

Cunard Line has released details of the Royal Rendezvous it is planning for Sydney this February, when Queen Mary 2 and the new Queen Elizabeth will meet on Sydney Harbour for the first time.

The Royal Rendezvous on February 22-23 will mark Queen Elizabeth’s first visit to Australia on her inaugural world voyage as well as the first time she and her larger sister, Queen Mary 2, have met outside QM2’s homeports of Southampton and New York.

Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary 2 will meet off Sydney Heads shortly before 5.30am on February 22, before Queen Mary 2 leads her younger sister into the harbour – the first time two Cunard liners have ever arrived in Sydney in tandem.

On her way to Garden Island, Queen Mary 2 will round Fort Denison and pass Queen Elizabeth as she berths at Circular Quay at around 7am, sounding her whistle to greet her sister.
