In January 2011, two years after the first Cunard Royal Rendezvous, on the same date, "Queen Mary 2" met up with both "Queen Victoria" and "Queen Elizabeth" for another Royal Rendezvous in New York City on 13 January 2011. Both the "Queen Victoria" and "Queen Elizabeth" made a tandem crossing of the Atlantic for the event. All three ships met in front of the Statue of Liberty at 6:45 pm for a Grucci fireworks display. The Empire State Building was lit up in red to mark the event. In March 2011 "Queen Victoria" passed herself, a former Cunard ship, now permanently docked in Long Beach, California, as a hotel for the first time, along with a fireworks display in Long Beach.
