Queen Elizabeth Undergoes Major Redesign Ahead of Caribbean and Alaska Seasons

A New Chapter for Queen Elizabeth

Cunard, the luxurious cruise line known for its rich heritage, has recently revealed a stunning transformation of its flagship vessel, the Queen Elizabeth. This renovation comes ahead of her highly anticipated inaugural seasons in the Caribbean and Alaska, marking a significant milestone in luxury cruising. The ship is set to welcome travelers from Miami and Seattle, offering extraordinary journeys in 2025.

A Comprehensive Makeover

The Queen Elizabeth has undergone an extensive three-week refurbishment at Seatrium's Admiralty Yard in Singapore, culminating on March 14. This update includes revitalizing her signature spaces, such as the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Garden Lounge, and The Pavilion. Each area has been meticulously redesigned to enhance the connection between guests and the ocean, offering an ideal ambiance for relaxation and outdoor dining.

One of the standout features of the redesign is the Queens Room. This elegant space has been inspired by the heritage of the Royal Palace, incorporating themes of lush gardens and luxurious surroundings. Guests can expect to be enveloped in rich decor that reflects the splendor of ocean travel's golden age. Moreover, improved outdoor decks provide fantastic opportunities for passengers to enjoy breathtaking views of Alaskan glaciers and Caribbean vistas, complete with sunshades for those warmer days.

An Elevated Grills Experience

For those seeking the pinnacle of luxury, the Grills experience has been elevated to new heights. Enhancements have been made to both the interiors and exteriors of the Grills suites, showcasing sumptuous furnishings and sophisticated detailing. Guests can also unwind in the newly furnished Grills terrace while sipping cocktails under the sunset, creating memorable moments at sea.

Focus on Wellness

In addition to the aesthetic enhancements, the introduction of The Pavilion Wellness Café is a noteworthy addition to the ship's offerings. This café, which debuted on Cunard's newest vessel, Queen Anne, focuses on wellness and sustainability, featuring a menu that celebrates plant-based cuisine along with responsibly sourced meat, fish, and dairy options. This commitment to health and well-being reflects the evolving expectations of modern travelers who seek enriching and health-conscious food choices even while indulging in luxury.

Furthermore, Cunard has partnered with Harper's Bazaar to introduce the 'Harper's Bazaar Wellness at Sea' program. This ground-breaking collaboration offers unique three-day wellness packages designed for relaxation, energy restoration, and recovery, providing guests with a holistic rejuvenating journey while at sea.

A Historic Season Awaits

The year 2025 marks a historic turning point for Cunard as Queen Elizabeth embarks on her debut season in Miami, focusing on Caribbean voyages for the first time. The ship is set to offer a dedicated program of roundtrip Caribbean sailings, with itineraries ranging from nine to 28 nights. Iconic destinations like Montego Bay, San Juan, and St. John's await, promising idyllic escapes for travelers eager to explore the beauty of the region.

Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, expressed excitement for this new chapter, stating, “As Queen Elizabeth begins this exciting new chapter, we are delighted to offer guests an even more refined experience on board, with beautifully updated spaces that combine classic Cunard style with modern comfort.”
