The Queen makes history with Queen Elizabeth

Sunday, 01 Sep, 2010 0

HM The Queen will name Cunard’s new Queen Elizabeth, the third Cunard ship to bear the name, at a ceremony to take place in Southampton on October 11.

Peter Shanks, Cunard president and managing director, said the naming of a Cunard Queen will be an historic event in the true sense of the word.

“The Queen launched Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1967 and named our current flagship, Queen Mary 2, in 2004.

“The current monarch was also present at the age of 12 at the launch of the first Queen Elizabeth on 27 September 1938 when she accompanied her mother, Queen Elizabeth, to Clydebank for the launch.”

Queen Elizabeth will make her maiden visit to Australia in February during her inaugural world voyage.

She will call at Sydney on February 22-23 where she will stage a Royal Rendezvous with Queen Mary 2, followed by visits to Melbourne on February 25 and Fremantle on March 1.
