QUEEN ANNE MAIDEN VOYAGE FROM SOUTHAMPTON & FIREWORKS 03/05/24



A large crowd gathered on Town Quay and in Mayflower Park here in Southampton on Friday 3rd May 2024 to watch the β€˜Queen Anne’ Cunard’s new addition to the Cunard Fleet of Ships set sail on her maiden voyage to A Coruna.

She departed from the Mayflower Cruise Terminal at 21:15pm and this special occasion was marked by a wonderful firework display which lit up the night sky watched by many including a small flotilla of small boats on the water.

  1. Beautifully "filmed" Steve. These modern ships are so slab-sided. The last ship with a graceful hull was QE2. She had a lovely curve from stem to stern. I suppose you could say that Queen Anne herself was a bit slab-sided. It looks like the fireworks were coming from the military port at Cracknore Hard, or were they using her for target practice?

  2. Thank you, Steve, for another atmospheric video that you excel at. It was a night to remember with the long awaited debut of a new Queen – the fireworks were very impressive. It looks as though Cunard is entering a new era of more contemporary design both with the exterior and interior furnishings. Hoping to experience her soon. πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ›³πŸ›³
