CUNARD Line has unveiled a transformative makeover for Queen Elizabeth (pictured), paving the way for her highly anticipated inaugural Caribbean program next year, sailing from Miami (CW 10 Oct), as well as her debut Alaska season from Seattle.
Queen Elizabeth will undergo a significant refit from 25 Feb to 13 Mar in Seatrium’s Admiralty Yard in Singapore.
The ship’s transformation will see her signature interiors and exteriors refreshed, with new trademark spaces, such as the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Panorama Pool Club, Garden Lounge, and more.
The Pavilion Wellness Cafe, which debuted earlier this year on Cunard’s newest ship Queen Anne, will also be introduced.
This wellness-focused venue will serve a menu celebrating plant-based cuisine alongside sustainably sourced meat, fish, and dairy.
As part of Queen Elizabeth’s transformation, the Grills suite experience – a hallmark of Cunard’s luxury offering – will receive enhanced interiors.
The Grills dining experience will also be improved by a special three-course menu crafted exclusively by Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux (CW 15 Aug), which currently features across the rest of the Cunard fleet.
“As Queen Elizabeth prepares for her highly anticipated debut seasons in the Caribbean from Miami and Alaska from Seattle, this transformation marks an exciting new chapter for Cunard,” President Katie McAlister said.
“Inspired by the beauty of these extraordinary destinations, the ship’s revitalisation will seamlessly blend timeless elegance with modern comforts, creating an unparalleled guest experience,” she added.
“We are especially excited to introduce the exclusive Gala Evening menu, crafted by Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux…this remarkable addition will elevate the Grills dining experience to even greater heights, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it.”
The makeover will usher in a new era for Queen Elizabeth, which will be the first-ever Cunard ship to spend a full season in Miami.
Guest will enjoy a dedicated program of round trip Caribbean voyages, with itineraries ranging from nine to 28 nights, to iconic destinations including Montego Bay in Jamaica, San Juan in Puerto Rico, and St John’s in Antigua.
Queen Elizabeth’s debut voyage from Miami to the Caribbean will sail on 16 Oct, beginning with a 12-night round trip, offering guests the chance to visit Bridgetown and Castries, among other destinations. MS
