Port Elizabeth will be rolling out the red carpet on Monday for the arrival of the biggest vessel to visit the city in more than a decade.
The Queen Mary Two is the largest ocean liner built since Queen Elizabeth Two in 1969.
Transnet National Ports Authority says since the retirement of the Q-E-2 in 2008, the Queen Mary Two remains the only Transatlantic ocean liner in service between Southampton and New York.
Members of the public will be able to view the vessel between 8 am and 6pm from a dedicated viewing area accessible through the Campanile entrance to the port.
