Huge QM2 round-Australia interest

Cunard has had massive response to its planned Queen Mary 2 circumnavigation of Australia in early 2012.

Queen Mary 2

Queen Mary 2, weighing in at 152,000 tons, dwarfed Classic International Cruises liner Athena (16,000 tons) when the two were tied up in Fremantle last weekend. Queen Mary 2 was on its way to Africa. Athena was heading to the UK and will return to Australia in November.

More than 1300 people registered interest in the voyage within three days of the announcement late last week - 1000 of them in the first 24 hours.

As most of these are likely to represent couples, the response equates to more than 2500 passengers.

Fares and the opening date for bookings will be announced shortly.

Cunard says it is still taking expressions of interest at website queenmary2.com.au/register, as are travel agents.

The superliner will call at eight Australian ports and Bali during the voyage, with departures from Sydney, Adelaide and Fremantle.
