Queen Elizabeth II to be docked in South Africa


South Africa's Tourism Ministry has said that Dubai World plans to berth the Queen Elizabeth II ocean liner at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town and convert it into a luxury hotel. The company is applying for berthing rights from the National Port Authority, and the Department of Tourism is weighing up the desirability of the plans. A local hotel group, which has declined to be named 'as talks are at a sensitive stage', is engaged in talks with Dubai World to manage the new hotel.
