Cruise Lines officially confirmed that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II would
name Cunard's new ship. The ceremony was held in Southampton on Monday 11
October 2010 before the Queen Elizabeth set sail on her maiden voyage to the
Canary Islands the following day. The Queen was also the sponsor of the
now-retired Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1967 and Cunard's current flagship, Queen
Mary 2, in 2004.
