Cunard Line's three Queens—Queen Mary 2, QE2 and Queen Victoria—met April 22, 2008 in their homeport of Southampton, England for the first and last time. QE2 and Queen Victoria arrived after completing their respective 2008 World Cruises. It was the final such voyage for the QE2, set to leave Cunard's service in November; and the first World Cruise for Queen Victoria christened in December, 2007.
The two vessels were joined by the Queen Mary 2 after concluding her first transatlantic crossing of the 2008 season. The three ocean liners are the only passenger vessels in the world with the Southampton name emblazoned on their sterns.
