Cunard´s newest ocean liner, the MS Queen Elizabeth, entered the Sound at about 5.45 this morning on its way from Stockholm to Copenhagen. Somewhat earlier a Danish pilot embarked the Queen on the request of the skipper on this cruise, captain Christopher Rynd.
The 294 x 36m QE, as she is affectionately known, joined the Cunard fleet in October 2010, when she was named by Queen Elizabeth II in a ceremony in Southampton.
The QE, which has a guest capacity of 2,068 and a crew of 1005, is almost identical in design to her sister ship Queen Victoria, although the stern is steeper in order to give her a slightly higher number of cabins.
