Cunard's Queen Mary 2 to dock in France ahead of return to service
Will PayneCunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2 will dock in Brest on Friday (27 August) for dry dock maintenance ahead of its return to service in November.
The refit, carried out by Damen Shiprepair & Conversion, will prepare the vessel’s technical and mechanical capability as well as its interiors and guest spaces.
Cunard president Simon Palethorpe described Queen Mary 2’s return to France as a "very special moment" for the line.
"As we have not been sailing for the past 18 months we cannot wait to return to sea and give our guests the memorable voyages for which Cunard is known," he added.
"The attention to detail shown by Damen will ensure the ship’s return will enhance this already momentous occasion for our crew and guests."
Damen Shiprepair & Conversion global cruise product manager Rogier van der Laan said the occasion was "very important" for the Brest community as a whole.
"We are extremely proud to be entrusted by Cunard with the refit of Queen Mary 2 at our facilities in Brest," he added.
"The preparation for the return to service of this most iconic cruise liner is not only a very important occasion for our organisation but also for the Brest community as a whole."
