On March 4, Cunard’s Queen Victoria enters Long Beach Harbor for a royal rendezvous with the Queen Mary, docked to the left. The meeting of the two Queens marks only the second time in Cunard’s 171-year history that a modern Queen has visited her docked sister ship; the first rendezvous occurred in February 2006 when flagship Queen Mary 2 met her namesake during her maiden call to Los Angeles. The momentous Cunard Royal Rendezvous of Queen Victoria and Queen Mary also signaled the celebration of another significant milestone in Cunard history: the 75th anniversary of Queen Mary’s maiden voyage from Southampton, England (27 May 1936). During Cunard’s legendary 171-year history, the iconic Queen Mary epitomized the Golden Age of Ocean Travel and served as a Cunard liner for more than 30 years. She retired from service in 1967 and is permanently docked in Long Beach as a hotel, museum and tourist attraction. For more information about Queen Mary, visit www.queenmary.com.
