Cunard Unveils New Shore Experiences for Queen Elizabeth

Cunard has announced new and exclusive shore experiences for guests sailing on the Queen Elizabeth during its maiden season from Miami.

Designed to immerse guests in the culture, flavors and beauty of the region, the exclusive program will be available on voyages departing from October 16, 2025.

Part of Cunard’s new Iconic Collection, these 32 excursions spans 12 sun-soaked destinations including St Lucia, St Maarten and St Thomas, offering something for every kind of traveler, from thrill-seekers to food lovers and nature enthusiasts.

Among the highlights is a private catamaran trip along Antigua’s coastline, with sushi and barbecue dishes prepared by a Michelin-starred chef. Guests can also visit a secluded island in Anguilla, showcasing the untouched tropical beauty of this hidden gem. Adventure lovers can enjoy an exhilarating off-road 4x4 experience in Barbados, culminating in a cheese and wine picnic in the island’s scenic wilderness.

Cunard has partnered with local expert guides to give guests access to both much-loved tourist attractions and little-known hidden treasures, going beyond the typical tourist trail.

Other standout experiences include a private tour of Puerto Rico, visiting sites such as Old San Juan and El Yunque Rainforest; a Dominican Coffee Experience, with guests getting involved in the creative process; a Barbuda Belle Luxury Beach Escape by helicopter in Antigua; and a Luxury Day Pass at Scrub Island Resort in Tortola for those wanting to relax in style.

For the first time in Cunard’s history, one of its iconic fleet will spend the full season in Miami and Queen Elizabeth will offer a dedicated program of round-trip Caribbean voyages with itineraries ranging from nine to 28 nights. Guests will enjoy escapes to iconic destinations, including Montego Bay in Jamaica, San Juan in Puerto Rico and St John’s in Antigua.

Queen Elizabeth’s inaugural Caribbean voyage from Miami departs on October 16—a 12-night roundtrip sailing offering guests the chance to visit Bridgetown’s UNESCO-listed Garrison and bustling markets of Castries, St Lucia.
