Thanks for posting the link Steve 

We enjoyed the trips on the Waverley over the past few years and hope we can manage to go on one of the early cruises to the Isles in May.

I had quick look at her forthcoming itinerary`s and unfortunately they don`t go passed the first few days of May. I do hope they coincide a departure from either Greenock or Glasgow on the 15th May 2013, as Queen Mary 2 calls in to the port of Greenock that day, on a rather unusual voyage partly around the British Isles, which includes calls to Stavanger, Norway aswell as Hamburg, Germany, Dublin, Liverpool, & Invergordan.
Would be lovely to see them both together again as per a fabulous print I have of them both in the Clyde.

I was fortunate to be given a lovely print of QM2 and Waverley for Christmas.  Is this the same print that you are referring to Trevor?

I also hope that Waverley will meet up with QM2 when she on the Clyde this year.

Thats the one. A fabulous print of both ships together" The artist Gordon boweun has his own website, I think it is called "Martime Art by Gordon Boweun" he has plenty of material to choose from at very reasonable prices for anyone who maybe interested he also has Queen Elizabeth 2 prints aswell as others ships.

Sorry, just looked it up it is "GB Marine Art"

Here's the rest of the Scottish timetable :  http://www.waverleyexcursions.co.uk/scotland.pdf

As she is due to carry out some of Balmoral's 'usual' programme this year, I imagine that Waverley will be heading down to the Bristol Channel, prior to the QM2 visit. 

Of course, this spell did in past years form part of the Waverley's usual programme...  However, it's good to see this amount of information, so early in the year.
