Cunard Line's three ships - Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria - will meet in Liverpool on 25 April 2015 and on 4 July , Queen Mary 2 will sail from the port to Halifax to commemorate the first voyage of RMS Britannia, which departed Liverpool on that date in 1840, the company said on Facebook.
Cunard Line, which was originally known as The British & North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, had its head office in Liverpool until the late 1960s. Liverpool was the UK terminus of its Trans-Atlantic express service until 1919, when it was moved to Southampton. However, Cunard Line continued to offer voyages from the port until 1968.
The city council is preparing to convert the Cunard Building on the Pier Head, which was built for the company in 1914-17, to a cruise terminal to replace the current, temporary structure. It is expected to open in 2015.
