Cunard's Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria at Manhattan Cruise Terminal

The Queen Elizabeth, Cunard’s newest cruise ship, berthed at Pier 88 of Manhattan Cruise Terminal this morning.

On January 13, three Cunard’s ships are in New York City — Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth at Manhattan Cruise Terminal and Queen Mary 2 at Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.

The last time entire Cunard’s fleet has met in New York at one time was in 2008, when Queen Victoria was launched and Queen Elizabeth 2 visited New York City for one of the last times.

A celebration will be held tonight for the meeting of three Cunard “Queen” ships in New York Harbor. The ships will sail to the Statue of Liberty for a fireworks celebration.

After her trip to New York, The Queen Elizabeth will embark on a 103-day Maiden World Voyage.

Norwegian Epic arrived in the city on Thursday after a maiden trans-Atlantic voyage from Southampton, England. At 200 feet tall, the ship cleared the Verrazano Bridge at the entrance to the New York harbor by just 24 inches. After today’s christening ceremony, Norwegian Epic will set sail on a two-night voyage before returning to New York on the morning of July 4th to host the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks show; it then heads for Miami, where it will begin its first season of seven-night Caribbean cruises.
