Join us aboard the Queen Mary 2 for an unforgettable Equator Crossing Ceremony! King Neptune himself takes command as the ship celebrates this maritime tradition in epic fashion. Michael experienced the full ceremony, starting with the initiation that included kissing a real fish, being drenched with food and liquids, and finally taking the plunge into the pool. This lively event brought together both guests and crew members, all crossing the equator for the first time as “Pollywogs.” Watch as they transform into seasoned “Shellbacks” in this time-honored tradition that’s been part of maritime history for centuries. Please consider watching our entire Cunard Playlist to see more of this magnificient oceanliner as well as some of the adventures we had at each of the ports of call. This journey started in NY in January 2024 when we boarded the Queen Mary 2 and sailed to Southampton, England - Tenerife, Spain - Walvis Bay, Namibia - Port Elizabeth, Capetown & Durban, South Africa - Reunion Island - Mauritius Island and then finally Perth, Australia. We stayed in an inside cabin (check out our cabin tour & review video) for 45 days that included a Transatlantic Crosssing and 2 Segments of her World Cruise. With many interesting changes in weather, sickness, safety protocols, breaking-news LIVE updates, as well as amazing ports of call with two overnight stops we hope you find our videos both informative and fun to watch. And as always... Thanks for coming along on our journey!
