On January 10, 2007 Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2 will set sail on simultaneous, but different, World Cruises. The two ships will depart Port Everglades, Florida on southward journeys; Queen Mary 2 on her first-ever World Cruise – an 81-day circumnavigation of the globe – and Queen Elizabeth 2 on her Silver Jubilee World Cruise – an exotic 108-day voyage marking her 25th around the world.
The start of any Cunard World Cruise is cause for celebration so we are doubly excited about this first-ever simultaneous departure from Ft. Lauderdale, said Carol Marlow, president and managing director of Cunard Line. Watching these celebrated ships as they set sail on such extraordinary journeys is a thrilling experience, even for a veteran cruiser.
The World Cruises are just a part of the ships` compelling 2007 itineraries. In the coming year, the flagship Queen Mary 2 will offer an expanded season of transatlantic travel, as well as introduce a series of 10-day Connoisseur`s Caribbean voyages and series of four-day Getaway sailings. Out of her homeport of Southampton, Queen Elizabeth 2 will depart for a range of European voyages.
The year concludes with the maiden voyages of the new Queen Victoria, which will mark the first time in Cunard`s 167-year history that three Cunard Queens will be in service simultaneously.
