Queen Elizabeth - Once again!
Cunard Line has agreed to build a new 2,092–passenger ocean liner. The 92,000gt vessel, to be called Queen Elizabeth, will be the second largest Cunarder ever built and is scheduled to enter service in the autumn of 2010.
In making the announcement, Cunard says, ‘Cunard already owns and operates the two most famous ocean liners in the world, Queen Elizabeth 2 and Queen Mary 2,and a third - Queen Victoria - is due to be named by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, in the presence of HRH The Prince of Wales, in December of this year.
Cunard will once again become a three-ship fleet so soon after the departure of the much-celebrated QE2 in November next year.
Queen Elizabeth will fly the Red Ensign with her homeport Southampton, as is the case with the other ships in the Cunard fleet.
