Queen Elizabeth

Be transported to a world of rich sophistication, lavish surroundings and elegant décor. From the sweeping staircase of the Grand Lobby, to the exquisite restaurants, ballrooms and loungerooms, the Queen Elizabeth exudes her own unique magnificence.

The Ship

Christened by Her Majesty the Queen, Queen Elizabeth evokes classic Hollywood glamour, with glistening chandeliers, marble floors and stunning furnishings. Her light décor is chic with touches of Art Deco throughout the ship. Queen Elizabeth is the second largest ship operated by Cunard, exceeded only by Queen Mary II. A firm favourite among her passengers, Queen Elizabeth provides plenty of opportunities for entertainment and socialising, as well as the chance to relax and unwind. Recently refurbished in 2018, her outdoor space sees new furniture and a fresh new layout on the aft Sun Deck, along with updates to the threare, bars, lounges and select stateroom/suites. 

Accommodation

Whether you are looking for an Inside, Single, Balcony, or Oceanview room, your needs are catered for within our range of staterooms. Alternatively, you can indulge in a Grand, Master, Queens, Princess or Penthouse suite, all of which include a large, relaxing living area.

Each room is provided with a flat screen television, for use at your leisure, along with ample storage and closet space and charmingly tiled bathrooms. Selected rooms also boast the luxury of whirlpool bathtubs, concierge service, personalised stationary and a ‘Bon Voyage’ bottle of wine to send you on your way with comfort and ease.

Cuisine, Dining and Drinks

During the day, the magnificent Queens Room is the setting for traditional afternoon tea, with white-glove service and live orchestra accompaniment. The Verandah Grill is regarded as one of the finest restaurants at sea, with its romantic ambience and authentic French cuisine. Reserving a table at the Britannia Restaurant will always provide a memorable dining experience, as you make your way down the impressive curved staircase to be tempted by exquisite menu options; from lobster thermidor to beef wellington.

If you're a steak, lobster or king crab fan, be sure to make a visit to The Verandah restaurant for Steakhouse at The Verandah. Taking an influence from both sides of the Atlantic, Cunard's chefs have created a menu showcasing prime USDA grain finished New York strip steak, Maine lobster, Alaskan king crab and much more to whet your appetite.

Entertainment

At night, the Queens Room ballroom is the unforgettable setting for glamourous ball gowns and dancing alongside a live orchestra. Elegant garden parties take place on the outdoor deck, with drinks and light snacks served in the afternoon. Visit the Empire Casino to try your hand at blackjack, or spend an evening at the Royal Court Theatre, with its show-stopping performances by the resident theatre company; from Shakespearian classics to West End-standard musicals. In December 2018, the Royal Court had a complete technical overhaul. Film fans can also enjoy screenings of classic movies, as well as daily films on the stateroom televisions. Lively karaoke, pub quizzes and live piano music provide further evening entertainment.

Spa and Fitness

December 2018 sees the introduction of the Mareel Wellness and Beauty aboard Queen Elizabeth. The word ‘Mareel’ is from old Norse language and means ‘phosphorescence of the Ocean’ and is the perfect description to reflect Cunard’s new inspired wellness and beauty experiences.

Mareel will be beautifully decorated in hues of blue, green and pale coral, and will also offer new facilities such as a new couples suite for seaweed bathing rituals, a meditation room, a reconfigured multifunctional fitness centre and new sound therapy facilities in every treatment room.

The partnership with Canyon Ranch means Cunard can deliver the same level of maritime luxury in their spa, with specialists providing facials, massages, body scrubs and a range of beauty services.  All invigorating wellness treatments will use the very best luxury products and meet socially responsible production techniques.

Recreation

The Playzone allows kids between the ages of 2-7 years to enjoy arts and crafts, story time, puzzles and games, and is staffed by qualified early-years professionals. For older children, the Teen Zone is a great spot, suitable for 13-17 years old, with pizza parties, discos, sports tournaments and fun games throughout the day.
