QE2 at Subic port

The Queen Elizabeth 2, one of the world's most famous luxury liners, will make a port call here as part of its ongoing Asian cruise. Some 1,900 passengers, composed mostly of American and British retirees, will be given the opportunity to visit the Freeport for a whole day before sailing off to Japan.

Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority Administrator Alfredo C. Antonio said it is a privilege for Subic to have a world-class liner for a visitor. Antonio further said that the passengers will have top tourist sites to see like Grande Island, Ocean Adventure, the Jungle Environmental Survival Training Camp (JEST) and other sites in the Freeport.

Simultaneous cultural presentations will feature performers from Subic and Olongapo and artists from the famous Bellestar Promotions. For the past 34 years, the Queen Elizabeth 2 has reigned as the Grande Dame of the high seas.
