2012 Royal Circumnavigation of Australia
As quoted from Cunard's website
"Queen Mary 2's Royal Circumnavigation of Australia is a first for
Cunard.
The largest ship ever to visit Australia, Queen Mary 2 will call at
eight Australian ports during her time Down Under including Sydney,
Fremantle, Adelaide and the Whitsundays, as well as maiden visits to
Cairns (Yorkey's Knob), Darwin, Melbourne and Brisbane. Her
circumnavigation will also include a call at Bali.
There will be three circumnavigation options -
a 22-night voyage departing Sydney on 14 February 2012, a 20-night
voyage departing Fremantle on 8 February 2012 and a 21-night voyage
departing Adelaide on 11 February 2012.
In all, Queen Mary 2 will spend 28 nights in Australian waters, as she
sails from Cape Town to Sydney via Fremantle and Adelaide, and then
circumnavigates the country. As a result, Fremantle, Adelaide and Sydney
will each enjoy two visits from the liner during her Australian season.
The Australian deployment will mark the longest period of time that
Queen Mary 2 has been based in one country outside of her northern
hemisphere home ports of Southampton and New York.
Peter Shanks, president of Cunard Line, said,
"Cunard has strong and proud links with Australia, going back many
years."
'Recognising the enduring appeal and increased demand from Australians
for the unique Cunard Line experience, we are delighted to offer this
series of legendary voyages for our flagship Queen Mary 2 in Australia
2012,' he said."
