Port Everglades Hosts Nautical Royal Rendezvous

Queen Victoria, the newest liner in Cunard Line's fleet, made her maiden call at Ft. Lauderdale on Jan 16, just three days after making an historic Royal Rendezvous in New York on Sunday with both sister-ships Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2. Queen Victoria has been sailing with QE2 since departing Southampton, England on Jan 6 making a tandem Transatlantic Crossing together and meeting up again at Port Everglades. Who says that "sisters" engage in sibling rivalry? These two get along great.

Cunard's newest ship is on her Maiden World Cruise, while grand dame QE2 has begun her 26th and final World Cruise. QE2 will complete her service to the Cunard fleet in Nov 2008.
