Cunards Queen Victoria & Queen Elizabeth 2 Meet for 1st Time

Crank up the volume as QV & QE2 meet for the first time in Rotterdam on 12th December 2007. Filmed from the balcony of cabin 8017

QE2 looks like an ocean liner - not a skyscraper with a hull!.

[@titanic7grl]

i love Cunard's ships horn

[@benjaminshamel9383]

I remember this, was on QV that day. I traveled on QE2 a lot as well back then. Both lovely ships (though QE2 is my preferred ship, well was). Also, had NO idea this was going to happen, so imagine my happiness when I go to breakfast in the QG, look at the window, and there's my favorite ship of them all, sleek and beautiful with a deep throaty "Hello!"

[@CJODell12]

Like a mother and daughter reuniting for the first time in many years

[@ColemanHeald]

I quite agree as I took the video from my balcony on Queen Victoria! I know these ships inside and out too!

[@lovejd2]

You are very lucky to have been on her maiden voyage!! I bet she is a grand as she looks. One day, I will be on board as taking a Cunard cruise is my dream. One day.....sigh.

[@avarenity]

wonderful video. great to see it from the QV's point of view.

[@CoyJune]

Queen Victoria may not be as unique as QM2 or QE2 but she's still a very very beautiful ship endorsing the Cunard's classeness!!!!! When you love the great Cunard you cannot dislike her. Long live to Queen Victoria and her sistershipssss.

[@ManWhoLovesTheMary]

What's a little ironic about this is that the QV is to replace (in a physical such a way) the QE2 for travel and cruises. It's almost like when the QM met the QM2, you know!

[@albanyjohn]

Wow excellent. Very emotional.

[@ColemanHeald]

Here, Here!

[@ColemanHeald]

From what I can gather this music was being played by the QE2 - no idea why!

[@lovejd2]

I am sorry to disagree with you, but the one that is sailing is Queen Victoria and where this video was taken, the one that is pulling away from the dock is Queen Elizabeth 2. I am a travel agent and a Cunard Commodore agency. I'd know these ships anywhere!! I have studied them inside and out...

[@ColemanHeald]

The P&O Cruise Ship rcadia was originally destined to be the Queen Victoria back in 2005. At the last minute Carnival decided to pull it as it was deemed too small! Queen Victoria has 2 more decks than your average 'Vista Class'. That's also why it took so long to get any information about the ship or book a voyage.

[@paulrandig]

I am sorry to see the QE2 go. She is the last of the traditional looking liners and way more beautiful than her large sisters.

[@paulrandig]

Because those Trans Atlantic Liners are in the tradition of the first really important travelling link between Europe and America...?

[@lawsonrob]

Cunard is owned by Carnival, which is listed in both New York and London, so not totally American-owned.

เทียบท่านานแล้ว

[@Lilyankee2424]

The QV, QM2 & QE2 are all beautiful looking vessel although the new QE is not the best looking ship IMO. Btw...us Americans saved Cunard from being lost as well as building the QM2. Also the Canberra is not ugly at all!

[@Peace7Maker]

the queen elisabeth 2 is for now the closest to the titanic like design, wonder how much time they will keep it

[@g1a1r1y3]

Look, both cruise ships and ocean liners can cross the Atlantic. But ocean liners are designed for this, whereas a cruise ship is not. The difference is all about design and performance specifications. Also, go on-line and do an image search for "tandem crossing QE2 QV" an you will see one result of the difference. But cool video.

ฝันดี

[@lovejd2]

No, these ships are not Carnival ships, yes they are owned and operated by Cunard, however they are part of the Carnival Corporation. Same with Princess.

[@titanic7grl]

ask Carnival Cruise Lines... I like Cunard being owned by the British.. even though i am american.. Carnival owns enough cruise lines as it is...

[@lovejd2]

That was an ignorant thing to say. They may be British Registry but they belong to the world and all who sail upon them. To me, they are the most grandest ships afloat!!

[@lawsonrob]

The name Titanic is jinxed, so no ship will ever be given that name again. Also, Queen Victoria is a cruise ship, not an ocean liner, sadly.

[@TITANICLUSITANIA]

@tomjune1983 At least they saved Cunard from dying.

[@chrisr19897]

I agree that Queen Victoria may not be the best looking ship in the world at least its got more stlye and grace than P&O's new Ventura which they might has well have named Canberra had done withit considering how awful it looks and indeed how outdated the Canberra was when it came into service way back in 1961

[@ColemanHeald]

If it wasn't for the Americans there would not be a Cunard.....

[@haywoodbadman10]

i think the qv is an ugly beast i much prefer qm2 but nothin will match the qe2
