Return Visit Commemorates Cunard's 170th Anniversary
2 August 2010 - History was made in Liverpool recently when Her Royal Highness, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall graced the decks of Cunard Line’s Queen Victoria as the ship made her maiden call in Liverpool. The day marked The Duchess’ second visit to the ship - her first was for the ship’s naming ceremony in December 2007 when she christened the liner. More about this royal visit can be found on Cunard’s blog: http://content.cunard.com/announce/?oNXR0MHfzj-WjQVwINQbZ6amcqGzSLRCo&www.WeAreCunard.com
Not only did The Duchess reacquaint herself with “her” ship and crew, but she also helped Cunard commemorate the 170thanniversary of the company’s first ship, the Britannia, which set sail from Liverpool in July 1840.
“Cunard is honoured that Her Royal Highness named this fine ship, and delighted that she continues to display such an interest both in the ship and in the crew. The Duchess will always be warmly welcomed on board,” said Peter Shanks, president of Cunard Line.
In January 2011, Queen Victoria will begin her first Americasseason, traversing the Panama Canal on more than one voyage and making two rare round trip sailings from Los Angeles to Hawaii, plus debuting her maiden Mexico Getawayvoyage.
Prior to embarking on her Americas season, Queen Victoria will meet Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth in New York Harbour for another spectacular Cunard Royal Rendezvous on 13 January 2011, exactly three years ago to the day that she met Queen Mary 2 and QE2 in New York for the first meeting of the three Queens.
