QE2 40th Anniversary Cruise - September 2007

[pkpon]

Just booked this cruise today. Seemed to be very few single cabins still available. Only MI and QG catergories left.

 

Anyone else booked on this cruise?

Yes, we have booked for this cruise. We have sailed on QE2 several times and have enjoyed them all. This will be the first round the UK and we look forward to it. It should be quite a different experience.

Glad to read that you have also booked. I think this will be a very special cruise especially as the QE2 will be in Greenock exactly 40 years to the day that she was launched. Anyone know how far she can get up the Clyde now?

 

I am also looking forward to visting the Royal Yacht Britainnia whilst the QE2 is in Queensferry. Britannia was also built at the John Brown shipyards.

Hi Can someone explain the 40th Anniversary to me in Sept 2007 as stated I am a bit confused since the Cunard website under facts states "Maiden Voyage: May 2, 1969 (Southampton to New York"

 

Thanks

She was launched on 20th September 1967. She then had to go through fitting out and various trials before her maiden voyage.

I looked at the itinerary for this cruise and wonder why they are docking overnight in Newcastle? I went to the Cunard website to see what the shore excursions would be but the page keeps coming up blank. Will there be some kind of big celebration there?
