Queen Mary 2: Flagship Cunard ocean liner arrives in Liverpool - how long is she here for?

Cunard’s flagship ocean liner has arrived in Liverpool, to celebrate her 400th transatlantic crossing.

The huge Queen Mary 2 arrived on the Mersey at around midday on Friday (September 6) as thousands of spectators lined vantage points at Formby, New Brighton and Crosby as she neared the city.

Her historic voyage to Liverpool started in New York on August 23, where she commenced her 400th crossing of the Atlantic, arriving in her homeport of Southampton a week later before continuing across the British Isles.

The visit marks the ocean liner’s eighth call at Liverpool and is the first call by a Cunard ship in the city since the grand Queen Anne Naming Ceremony, which took place in front of 50,000 spectators at Pier Head in June.

Where can I see Queen Mary 2?

Queen Mary 2 was spotted at key vantage points on the Mersey on Friday (September 6) before docking at Liverpool Cruise Terminal at around 2.40pm. Cunard fans will be able to see the majestic ship throughout Friday and Saturday, as she docks in the city overnight.

Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 is due to depart Liverpool Cruise Terminal at 11.59pm on Saturday, September 7 as she makes her way Cobh in Ireland.
