Cunard Line, operator of the most famous Ocean Liners in the world, will for the first and only time on Sunday, 13 January 2008, sail their three liner Queens flagship Queen Mary 2, famed Queen Elizabeth 2 and the new Queen Victoria - together out of New York Harbour.
The regal fleet is scheduled to depart at 18h30. Queen Mary 2 will depart from her home port, Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, while QE2 will depart from Pier 92 and Queen Victoria will depart from Pier 88 both at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal. The three Queens will rendezvous and sail past the Statue of Liberty during a spectacular fireworks celebration.
This is the first-time in Cunard's 168-year history that three Queens have been in service at the same time and with QE2 retiring in November 2008 will be the only time they will be together, offering a maritime history-making moment.
