Following the news last week of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we continue to extend our sincere condolences to The Royal Family.
On Sunday 18 September at 20:00 UK time colleagues ship and shore are invited to observe a one-minute silence to reflect on the life and legacy of Her Majesty. There will also be a two-minute silence on Monday 19 September at 11:55 UK time to conclude the Queen’s funeral.
Her Majesty will forever be remembered at Carnival UK as her association with our brands dates back to 1938 when she accompanied her mother to the launch of Queen Elizabeth.
Since then The Queen launched six Carnival UK ships; Caronia in 1947, QE2 in 1967, Oriana in 1995, Queen Mary 2 in 2004, Queen Elizabeth in 2010 and Britannia in 2015. Her Majesty also attended many events on board over the years including P&O Cruises 150th Anniversary celebrations on the Thames in 1987 and Cunard’s 150th Anniversary celebrations in 1990.
A book of condolence can be found in the Atrium at Carnival House until Monday 19 September and online here.
