Cunard’s Three Queens were in Southampton on Sunday 3rd May to inaugurate the celebrations of the company’s 175 anniversary year in the UK. That same afternoon, the Three Queens, for the first time ever, sailed together in daylight from Southampton led by Queen Mary 2. The three ships set off on their Summer season with Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria heading for New York, Hamburg and St Peter Port respectively.
