Queen Elizabeth’s arrival in Victoria is part of an inaugural Alaskan cruise ship season for the fabled operator’s fleet of three vessels (Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria), and marks a return by Cunard to the Salish Sea in more than 20 years.
The nearly 300 meter long Queen Elizabeth will return to Ogden Point three more times this season before sailing on to service other routes.
Founded in 1840, Southampton, United Kingdom-based Cunard Line maintains the world’s only trans-Atlantic passenger service between Europe and North America. C
