Cunard Line’s Queen Victoria and QE2 met in Sydney Harbour on Sunday, attracting thousands of spectators. The “Royal Rendezvous” marked the only time that the two ocean liners will ever meet in Sydney as this is QE2’s 29th and final visit to the city, arriving 30 years to the day since its 1978 maiden visit. QE2’s call to Sydney is part of its final world voyage, while Queen Victoria is making its first visit as part of a maiden world voyage. QE2 sailed past Queen Victoria off Fort Denison. The passing occurred in the early evening with the ships sounding their whistles as they sailed by each other. Queen Victoria then headed to Brisbane, while QE2 berthed at Circular Quay. The longest serving Cunard liner in history, QE2 will leave the Cunard fleet in November this year to become a tourist destination in Dubai. Next year, Sydney will be visited by Queen Victoria (Feb 19-20, 2009) and flagship Queen Mary 2 (Feb 26, 2009), both sailing on their second world voyages.
