On Monday morning, Cunard cruise line’s Queen Mary 2 will reunite with the Queen Mary for the first time in 20 years. The ships will share a special whistle salute at 7 a.m. before the Queen Mary 2 continues on to dock in the Port of Los Angeles.
Named after the Queen Mary and boasting one of the Queen Mary’s original whistles, Queen Mary 2 is the world’s only ocean liner still sailing. It set off on its maiden voyage in January 2004 and is known for year-round transatlantic crossings.
Queen Mary 2 is currently on a world voyage, a 108-night cruise visiting over 30 ports of call, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Singapore and Cape Town. It has been 17 years since Queen Mary 2 last stopped in Southern California.
