13 more QM2 Brooklyn visits; QE2 due in fall

The Queen Mary 2 will return to Brooklyn this Saturday, making her second visit to her new home port at the edge of Red Hook.

A dozen more QM2 trips are scheduled out of Brooklyn during 2006, with the Queen Elizabeth 2 scheduled to make her first arrival September 19 at 8:00am as part of a 20-day Autumn Colors cruise. (Prices start at $3,649.)
