Iconic Cunard ship visits Singapore

Queen Mary 2 has achieved significant milestones during her World Voyage before arriving in Singapore.

On 24 January, the liner completed her first transit through the Panama Canal, passing under the Bridge of the Americas on 25 January.

Her arrival in Los Angeles in early February marked a long-anticipated return after 17 years. She also reunited with her legendary namesake for the first time in 20 years. Queen Mary 2 debuted more than 35 years after the original Queen Mary, which was retired in 1967.

Following visits to San Francisco and Auckland, she arrived in Sydney on 4 March, where ‘A Letter from Australia to the World’ was unveiled by author Anna Funder.

Onward to Africa and Europe

The iconic ocean liner has now embarked on a 57-night sailing to Southampton. The first leg is a 16-night journey to Durban and Cape Town in South Africa, with calls at Port Klang, Malaysia and Port Louis, Mauritius along the way. 

The liner will spend an overnight stay in Cape Town and embark on 12 April, visiting Walvis Bay, Namibia; Dakar, Senegal; Tenerife and Cádiz in Spain before arriving in Southampton on 30 April.

The ship will then operate her signature Transatlantic Crossings from Southampton to New York for the rest of the year.
