Title: Cruise Ship Spectaculars
Post by: Colin Bishop on January 21, 2012, 06:10:56 pm

There will be two notable gatherings of cruise ships at Southampton this year:

All three Cunard Queens on 5th June and no less than seven P&O ships on 3rd July.

IoW ferry operator Red Funnel are planning special cruises to view the ships.

Should be quite a sight on both occasions.

Hi Colin

Thanks for the info and links. My anniversary is on the 4th July so maybe it's something I can work around. It would be nice to see them together.

I would imagine so, more or less. Ryde Pier would be a good vantage point, in fact I was there today myself enjoying the nice weather.
