The Editor says: Southampton has already seen several major ship inaugurations this year, notably with Celebrity Eclipse and P&O’s new Azura, but there is still one to come, and it will be arguably the grandest of them all. Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth will be named amid much fanfare by Her Majesty The Queen on October 11. Here is also a quick look at the new ships due out in the next 12 months:
