Thread: Cunard Line's 175 Birthday

It's not until 2015 but Cunard have started to plan for it's 175th Birthday. If all goes to plan all three Cunard ships (QM2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth) will be in Liverpool on the 4th July 2015 the very day that RMS Brittania sailed for Boston.

I plan on being there, hopefully on board one of the ships.

Not sure Qm2 would be there as she always does the 4th July 5 day cruise in America.
Cunard make a fortune from that short trip

175 years , wow.

Yes I thought that when I saw the date, but I am sure Cunard will be charing through the nose to make up for missing being on Boston for the 4th July fireworks.

Is P&O the oldest line is existence ?

It's the oldest British Line, not sure if there are any other older lines.

Wikipedia says P&O is the oldest cruise line in the world

Thanks Stephen,
Slight change of topic, looking at your past cruises. If you went to Long beach and spent a night on the Queen Mary, you could add that to your list

I would love to stay on the old Queen Mary, the only problem would be getting there.
