About Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth is Cunard’s 2010-built Vista-class cruise ship, designed around the line’s traditional British style and Art Deco influences. The 2,081-guest vessel combines spacious public areas with formal Cunard service, including gala evenings, afternoon tea, multiple Grill accommodation categories, and a full-size theatre. A significant refit completed in 2025 refreshed signature interiors, outdoor areas, and the Grills experience for the ship’s North American programme.

Onboard Experience

Signature highlights

Art Deco-inspired interiors, a Grand Lobby, croquet on the Games Deck, spacious open decks, and Cunard’s signature gala evenings distinguish the ship. The Queens Room, Commodore Club, Garden Lounge, and private Grill spaces are among the principal passenger areas.

For families

Family facilities include children’s and youth programming, family-friendly pools, sports areas, and activities suitable for different age groups. The ship’s broad deck spaces and casual venues provide options beyond the formal evening programme.

Pools, spa & wellness

Wellness facilities include the Mareel spa, treatment rooms, a fitness centre, fitness classes, swimming pools, whirlpools, and relaxation areas. The Pavilion and outdoor decks provide additional spaces for quiet recreation.

Accessibility

Queen Elizabeth has designated accessible staterooms and accessible public facilities, with mobility-device-friendly accommodation categories identified in Cunard’s deck plans. Guests requiring assistance should confirm individual accessibility requirements with Cunard before booking.

Environmental features

The ship uses diesel-electric propulsion with podded drives and was fitted with an exhaust-gas-cleaning system during its 2019 refit. Its relatively compact Panamax dimensions allow it to serve a broad range of cruise ports.
