It was a fantastic and unique moment, when ORIANA and QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 met in the port of Funchal on 3rd January of 2008, two of the most emblematic british cruise liners today and I speak in the present because I believe many ship enthusiasts and cruising fans especially those who were more close to this great lady in the UK, are still pride besides her withdrawn and laid up in Dubai and hope that one day she will return where she truly belongs.
At the time both ORIANA and the QE2 were returning home after a Christmas and New Year's cruise to the Caribbean.
After a short morning call, ORIANA unberthed at aproximmatly 1 pm ready to proceed astern and pass by QE2 to whom she honked some horns, being as so reciprocated. The rest the images speak for themselves. Let this photographic achievment of a memorable day serve as our homenage to the great Cunarder, QE2.
Special thanks to Nuno Jesus for sharing these photos with us and whom without this article wouldn't have been possible.
