Queen Anne left Southampton on her maiden voyage on Friday night.
Filled with passengers, fireworks filled the sky of Southampton Water as Cunard's brand-new ship sailed to Spain and Portugal before returning back here to its home port.
The spectacle was witnessed by hundreds of residents, who packed the waterfront from Hythe to Southampton itself.
Here are a selection of photographs marking the momentous occasion.
