Solent Jubilee Celebrations 04-05 June 2012
Join us here in the Solent for what is expected to be the biggest Jubilee celebration outside of London.
All three Cunard ships will sail up the Solent in formation for the first time (Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2).
The world-famous Red Arrows will be an extra highlight. This will be the first time the aerial display team will have performed over Southampton and the Solent.
After the Red Arrows display, as darkness falls, the celebrations will culminate in an evening spectacular where all three ships will be brought within close proximity of each other, and a fusillade of fireworks and special effects will light up the evening sky beyond them. Queen Mary 2 will then lead Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth in single file down the Solent.
We plan to be part of all this unique event- there is no better viewing gallery than being on the water and enjoying some great sailing too!

The Solent was the traditional home of J Class racing in the UK during the 1930s.
