BELFAST FAREWELL TO THE QE2



The Belfast City Council announces:

Next October 4, from 12 noon - 4pm the QE2, will visit Belfast as part of her farewell tour - and there will be a rare chance to view the vessel from an ideal vantage point across the river at the Paint Hall, Queen’s Road, Belfast.

The viewing site, just across the river from the QE2, will hold up to 1,200 people and tickets will be allocated for hourly slots, from 12 noon until 4pm.

Tickets for the public viewing gallery will be allocated, free of charge, on a first come, first served basis from the Belfast Welcome Centre.

Belfast is one of a select few cities in the British Isles playing host to the QE2 during her year-long farewell tour.

This will be the last time that people will be able to see the liner in port before she retires permanently to Dubai, where she will become a floating hotel later this year.
