For the first time in Cunard's history, guests will have a
chance to see stunning Red Arrows flying display while
onboard
VALENCIA, Calif., Aug. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On the
evening of August 10, 2018, Cunard's
three queens—Queen Mary 2, Queen
Victoria and Queen Elizabeth—sailed from Southampton and were sent off by the Red
Arrows, The Royal Air Force Aerobic Team with a display of a flying
formation.
The sendoff marks the first time in Cunard's history that guests
had the opportunity to see the Red Arrows flying display while
onboard.
Guests on board Queen Mary 2,
Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria will also be treated to a special
commentary while the jets performed. Listeners in the United Kingdom were also able to tune into the
commentary on Cowes radio – 87.7FM.
The Cunard fleet set sail from Southampton at 5:30p.m., heading for the Isle of Wright. The
fleet also received a memorable and unique send off from the
yachtsmen and spectators at Cowes and the Royal Yacht Squadron.
Friday was a day of celebration for the luxury cruise line in
Southampton. In addition to the
amazing display, Cunard is hosted five lucky children who won a
competition to visit the three Queens and enjoy a 'Captain for the
Day' experience. To win the competition they had to share with
Cunard, in their own words, why they deserved to be a 'Captain for
the Day' and they were judged on the creativity of their entry.
The children were given a tour of Queen
Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth,
spending time with Captain and a visit to the Bridge. They also
enjoyed lunch on board and finished their day with a trip round all
three Queens in a speedboat.
