Photocap: The QM2 docks in Cape Town

At the end of January, Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 spent two days docked at the V&A Waterfront

in Cape Town before departing for Port Elizabeth. This was the first stop on a world cruise

following a £100m (R1,7bn) remastering that involved an upgrade of the Queens and

Princess Grill suites and an extensive enhancement of its restaurants. Pictured here from

White Star Cruises and Travel, the official representative of Cunard in South Africa, are: Shaun

McCarthy, gm; Carol McCarthy, the founder of the company; Sandy McCarthy, operations

manager and Kevin Oprey, Captain of the Queen Mary 2.
