The “Queen Elizabeth” Visits Halifax
Submitted by Kim on Tuesday, 27 September 2011No Comment
The newest Cunard liner “Queen Elizabeth“, or “QE” as she is affectionately called, arrived in Halifax on a beautiful fall day and took the area by storm. Launched in October 2010 this vessel is a “blue water” ship in the great tradition of the “Queen Mary II” and luxury liners going back to the mid-1800′s.
To tie the ship to its namesake, the Queen, a bronze statue of a young Elizabeth sits near the entrance and a portrait of her in modern times was commissioned for the vessel.
In 2004 the “Queen Mary II” visited Halifax.
?To sail on this vessel for 2 1/2 weeks is not really expensive ($4,000 to $11,335) for a trip aboard a “queen.”
