Three Queens to Host the Big Day! Royal Wedding on the Seas!

The big day will soon be upon us!  Whether or not you’re a fan there will be no escaping the publicity for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding on May 19th across the world.

The media will be in a frenzy wanting to get the ‘best shot’.  What if you are at sea?

Cunard has revealed if you are onboard the Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth then you will not miss out on the celebrations.

So what can you expect?

The festivities will respectively be in the middle of a transatlantic voyage, in Scotland and in Russia and will include:

-Screening of the Royal Wedding

-Royal Wedding afternoon tea with specially created cakes including the Union Jack Butterfly, Chocolate Crown, Victoria Wedding Cake along with traditional finger sandwiches, scones, clotted cream and jams

-Celebration cocktails including the Princess Bride, The King’s Steed, American Beauty, Midnight Over the Atlantic and P.S. I Love You

-Commemorative dinner and keepsake menu in the main dining rooms

-Celebration cake- modelled after the bride and groom’s- made of lemon and elderflower to be served in each of the restaurants

-Champagne at dinner

Guests on all three ships will have the opportunity to toast the happy couple from all over the world with passengers on flagship ocean liner Queen Mary 2 will be sailing on one of her signature transatlantic voyages, heading towards the UK as they celebrate the royal wedding.

Those on Queen Elizabeth will be in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Queen Victoria passengers will be in Portree, Scotland.

Cunard has strong ties to the Royal Family, naming its ships after several matriarchal figureheads.

The Queen has launched and named four Cunard ships and Her Majesty is the only person who has been present at the launch of all three ships named Queen Elizabeth– the first in 1938, QE2 in 1967 and Queen Elizabeth in 2010.

The wedding will take place in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle at 12pm and there are rumours that Prince Harry and Meghan will honeymoon in Namibia.

Where will you be for the big day and will you be watching (I’ll be watching)?

If you are sailing on one of the Queens what do you think about the festivities planned?

Let me know your thoughts!
