Pretty much a close-up view of Two Queens Crossing. This gives you an idea of the differences between an ocean liner (QE2 on the left) and a cruise ship (Queen Victoria on the right).

Sun Princess
While Queen Victoria was berthed at Circular Quay the Sun Princess was forced into decidedly second-rate accomodation at the old Sydney Docks just outside of Darling Harbour.
Two Queens Crossing
This was the purpose of our visit to Sydney – to watch the passing of the two Cunard Queens.
Queen Elizabeth 2 and Queen Victoria pass Fort Denison. The number of people on the water and on land watching the spectacle was truly amazing. As the two ships began their pass they began sounding their horns, culminating in a simultaneous blast that was audible for around 16km (10 miles).
Sapphire Princess
- Sapphire Princess in Circular Quay
Once the Queens had given up the prime position in Sydney International Passenger Terminal Sapphire Princess moved in. The Princesses look nice, and big, but somehow they are missing the allure of the Queens – even the 40 year old QE2.
Queen Victoria and Sydney Opera House

Queen Victoria – Bow Name
Queen Victoria – Sydney Opera House
The Queen Victoria dock at the Sydney International Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay, with the Sydney Opera House in the background. This gives some idea of the number of sight-seers around to see this magnificent vessel.
