The highlight of the year though has to be celebration of Cunard Cruise Line’s 175th anniversary.
The Celebrations start on the 25 May when all three queens will arrive on the Mersey, this is said to be a once in a lifetime event and will make maritime history . I am awaiting my invitation but if I don’t make the guest list I will still pop down for the day .Then the celebrations continue on the 4th July, the flagship of the fleet the Queen Mary 2 will return to Liverpool to celebrate Britannia’s transatlantic departure exactly 175 years earlier. There will be a series of events across the city celebrating the glamour and excitement of cruise travel and how an industry that was born in Liverpool changed the world culturally.
Joe Anderson, the mayor of Liverpool, said: “To have the three Cunard Queens back in their spiritual home on our beautiful waterfront will be nothing short of majestic.
Also making a Mersey debut in 2015 is the brand new P&O Brittania the Royal Princess, Celebrity Silhouette and then Mein Schiff 4 and the Spanish Pullmantur Horizon.Along with some exclusive smaller ships calling for their first time such as the Le Boreal and le Soleal from Ponant, a French group and Marina and Nautica from the Oceania Cruise Line.
