QUEEN Mary 2 and her younger sister Queen Elizabeth met in Sydney Harbour over the weekend for a Royal Rendezvous.
Marking 10 years almost to the day since the Cunard flagship first visited Australia, the double-whammy visit brought close to 7,500 guests to the harbour.
Speaking on board QM2 on Sat, Ann Sherry, executive chairman of Carnival Australia, said the vessel’s maiden visit in 2007 “put cruising on many Australians’ wish lists and helped fuel the industry’s phenomenal growth Down Under”.
The 2,700-guest QM2 has recently undergone a $145 million remastering which saw 50 new staterooms added to the liner, including its first single staterooms, a wine cellar at sea and a new Carinthia Lounge.
QM2 Captain Christopher Wells is pictured taking in the view of his ship and her sister from the top of the Sydney Opera House.
