Resplendent with Cunard’s iconic livery and proud red funnels, Queen Elizabeth offers unforgettable cruise experiences in Europe and beyond for just over 2,000 guests.
Queen Elizabeth joined the Cunard fleet in 2010. At the time of her construction, she was one of the largest Cunard ships ever built and the third ship to bear Queen Elizabeth’s name, following the RMS Queen Elizabeth (1939-68) and Queen Elizabeth II (1969-2007). Queen Elizabeth is considered a sister ship to Queen Victoria (2007), albeit with alternative dining options, a midship bar, a sports deck, and a decor brimming with Art Deco flourishes.
A firm favourite with both first-timers and experienced cruisers, Queen Elizabeth sparkles with the glitz and glamour of cruising’s golden age. Providing a choice of world-class dining rooms, stately accommodations, and a sophisticated onboard environment, Queen Elizabeth offers an air of nostalgia and romance that doesn’t exist on many modern cruise ships.
