Following the disappointment of many VentnorBlog readers who weren’t able to get tickets in time for the Red Eagle cruise to watch the last voyage of the QE2 from Southampton next month, Red Funnel have just announced that a second cruise, departing from East Cowes on 11 November 2008 will also take place.
The Red Falcon will set sail from Red Funnel’s East Cowes Terminal to celebrate the final departure from Southampton of the most famous serving cruise liner in the world, Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2).
The Red Eagle which departs from Southampton will meet with The Red Falcon in the Solent, where they will follow the QE2 as she leaves for Dubai where she is destined to become a hotel and shopping venue at Palm Jumeirah.
Ticket prices
Tickets are £15 for children, £30 for adults and £22 for seniors and include a glass of wine or soft drink, plus live music and family entertainment. There is a tempting selection of hot and cold food and a fully stocked bar so guests can raise a toast as the QE2 leaves the Solent for the final time.
Times
The farewell cruise departs the Red Funnel East Cowes Terminal on Trinity Road at 1800 and returns at approx. 2130. A limited amount of parking (charge applies) is available on the night, with pre-booking is essential.
