Queen Victoria Is Named In A Spectacular Ceremony In Southampton

It truly was a stunning & spectacular event!

After a very busy 3 days on board the Complete Cruise Solution team were incredibly fortunate to attend the spectacular naming ceremony of the brand new Queen Victoria in Southampton on Monday afternoon. Queen Victoria was named by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall and was witnessed by over 2,000 guests in a specially built auditorium next to the City Cruise Terminal where the ship had been berthed since her arrival in Southampton on Friday 7th December.


Famous names such as the London Philaharmonic Orchestra, the Band and Trumpeters of the Royal Marines, Sir Derek Jacobi, Katherine Jenkins, Winchester Cathedral choresters, the Bishop of WInchester & the three tenors - Alfie Boe, Jon Cristoc and Gardern Thor Cortez kept us all enthralled throughout the ceremony.



Alongside these famous names was a very special appearance by one of the local Southampton Beaver Groups who did a fantastic job of handing out Union Jack flags to the crowd & presenting flowers to her HRH The Duchess of Cornwall. Well Done Guys from all at Complete Cruise Solution, we thought you did you a great job!
