True blue

Queen Mary 2 leaves Hamburg with blue lighting marking the German city’s 10th “Blue Port” event. The cruise liner’s visit marked 10 years since it appeared at the first Blue Port, an installation by Michael Batz, a lighting artist, part of the Hamburg Cruise Days programme. After docking in Hamburg, the Cunard line’s flagship, alongside its sister vessels Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth, is to cruise through Scandinavia before returning to Southampton.
