Cruising icon marks a decade

摘要

Cunard celebrated the tenth anniversary of the entry into service of their liner Queen Mary 2 with a spectacular event at Southampton on 9 May. Bringing all three Cunard ships together for the day was something of a coup, and Cunard can only be complimented on their eye for generating publicity. Not only did an evening firework display dazzle the crowds, but bringing the three ships together brought out thousands of people to witness what was a historic event. The days of cruise ship gatherings in Southampton are very much with us, and while some might lament the demise of the more traditional 'classic'-looking liners, that crowds turn out for these events in such large numbers suggests the level of interest in modern ships is high.
