Home > Royal Rendezvous: Cunard's 3 Queens Meet in Southampton
As part of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee celebration weekend (June 2, the crowning, to June 5), Cunard will be amassing its own royal trio -- Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2 -- in Southampton on June 5. The event promises to attract thousands to Southampton for a street festival, fireworks and a high-flying performance by the Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force Aerobatics Team. Cruise Critic covered the lead-up to royal rendezvous and will offer live reports from Southampton on the big day.
