Queen Elizabeth is coming back to Newcastle. Not the famous head of the royal family mind you, but the elegant cruise liner.
After a spectacular visit last month, the Queen Elizabeth will return to Newcastle in March 2018.
The Newcastle visit will be part of a 122 night world voyage that will take in 39 ports in 25 countries.
Anne Sherry from Carnival Australia which represents Cunard, said the Queen Elizabeth’s maiden Newcastle voyage had been a great success.
“Newcastle put on a very warm welcome for Cunard’s guests who really enjoyed their time exploring the town and the nearby Hunter region,” Ms Sherry said.
“Guest feedback was very favourable so we were delighted to be able to schedule another visit to Newcastle in our latest world voyage program.” she said.
“Cruise tourism is booming around Australia so it’s wonderful to see Newcastle sharing the economic benefits,” she said.
The vessel is due to enter Newcastle Harbour on March 1, 2018.
