Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth Returns to Service After Refurb

Cunard has announced the completion of Queen Elizabeth’s transformation ahead of its debut season sailing from Miami and its inaugural Alaska voyages from Seattle. The 2,000-guest ship completed a three-week makeover at Seatrium’s Admiralty Yard in Singapore on March 14.

Queen Elizabeth’s signature spaces, such as the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Garden Lounge and The Pavilion have each been revitalized, connecting guests to the ocean while providing a space to relax or enjoy al fresco dining. Outdoor decks have also been revamped to give guests better opportunities to admire Alaskan glaciers or Caribbean vistas, with more sunshades to the aft deck to accommodate warmer weather. 

Guests staying in the Grills suites will enjoy enhanced interiors and exteriors with "sumptuous" furnishings, sophisticated detailing and thoughtful design. Additionally, the Grills terrace also has new furniture.

Another standout of the refurbishment is the introduction of The Pavilion Wellness Café, which debuted in 2024 on Cunard’s newest ship, Queen Anne. This wellness-focused venue will serve breakfast, lunch and daytime dining with a menu of plant-based cuisine alongside sustainably sourced meat, fish and dairy. Guests can also enjoy the Harper’s Bazaar Wellness at Sea program, first seen on Queen Anne. This partnership with Harper’s Bazaar offers three-day wellness packages tailored to relaxation, energy restoration or recovery.

Queen Elizabeth’s debut Alaska season from Seattle begins on June 12, while its inaugural Caribbean voyage from Miami departs on October 16. The latter is a 12-night round-trip sailing offering guests the chance to visit Bridgetown’s UNESCO-listed Garrison and the bustling markets of Castries, St. Lucia.
