Queen Mary 2 Arrives in Sydney

08-Mar-2010
The largest ship to ever visit Australia, Cunard’s magnificent Queen Mary 2, arrived in Sydney in spectacular fashion on Sunday afternoon (March 7).

Now halfway through her 101-day world voyage, Queen Mary 2 is making a rare overnight call in Sydney and will leave the city at midnight Monday March 8 bound for Adelaide, then Fremantle.

Measuring 345 metres long and reaching 62 metres above the water, the elegant ocean liner is two-thirds the length of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and taller than the Bridge’s road deck.

The 151,400-tonne Queen Mary 2 is carrying more than 2450 guests, with her visit set to pour more than $1 million into Sydney’s economy through passenger and crew spending and port charges.
