Queen Victoria Visits Boston on Maiden Call

As part of a 24-day Canada/New England “Autumn Colours” cruise from Southampton, Cunard’s newest queen came to the Port of Boston on her maiden call September 28. Queen Victoria received a welcome “fit for a queen” when the Massachusetts Port Authority’s Fire-Rescue fireboat, Howard W. Fitzpatrick welcomed her in the harbor with a spectacular water display. The Queen Victoria spent the day at Cruiseport Boston’s Black Falcon Cruise Terminal along with two other visiting cruise ships, Caribbean Princess and Saga Ruby.
