Cunard has revealed plans for a major refurbishment of the Queen Elizabeth, setting the stage for her highly anticipated inaugural Caribbean voyages from Miami and her first-ever Alaska season from Seattle in 2025.

The 2,000-passenger vessel will undergo an extensive upgrade from February 25 to March 13, 2025, at Seatrium’s Admiralty Yard in Singapore. The enhancements will prepare the ship for its Alaska debut in June and its inaugural Caribbean cruise from Miami on October 16, 2025.

In a historic move for Cunard, one of its renowned ‘Queens’ will spend an entire season in Miami. Queen Elizabeth will feature an exclusive lineup of roundtrip Caribbean cruises, with itineraries spanning from nine to 28 nights. Passengers can look forward to visits to sought-after destinations such as Montego Bay, Jamaica, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and St. John’s, Antigua.

Queen Elizabeth’s upcoming transformation will include a blend of serene and vibrant design elements, refreshing both her interiors and exteriors. Iconic spaces like the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Garden Lounge, and The Pavilion will be enhanced to provide an immersive connection to the sea while offering guests serene relaxation or the opportunity to enjoy al fresco dining.

The luxury Grills experience, a signature offering from Cunard, will be further elevated during the ship’s refit. Guests in the exclusive Grills suites will enjoy updated interiors and exteriors, featuring luxurious furnishings, elegant detailing, and thoughtful design touches.

Grills dining will also see an upgrade, with a bespoke three-course Gala Evening menu created by Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux. This exclusive menu, which will debut on Queen Elizabeth post-refit, celebrates the pinnacle of gourmet dining at sea, offering an unforgettable culinary experience for Grills guests.

Additionally, a new wellness-focused venue, The Pavilion Wellness Café, will be introduced. Following its successful debut on Cunard’s Queen Anne, this café will offer a menu focused on plant-based cuisine, alongside sustainably sourced meat, fish, and dairy options, serving breakfast, lunch, and light daytime meals.

Guests can also indulge in the Harper’s Bazaar Wellness at Sea program, which made its debut on Queen Anne. This unique offering features three-day packages designed to enhance relaxation, restore energy, or aid in recovery, ensuring a revitalizing experience while cruising.
