Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth is to undergo a major three-week refit ahead of her inaugural 2025 Miami-Caribbean and Alaska seasons.
The refit at Seatrium’s Admiralty Yard in Singapore from 25 February to 13 March will prepare her for a new Alaska season from Seattle in June and a debut voyage from Miami to the Caribbean on 16 October.
Signature spaces such as the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Panorama Pool Club, Garden Lounge and The Pavilion will be revitalised, while the hallmark Grills restaurants for guests staying in the exclusive Grills suites will be enhanced by a special Gala Evening menu crafted by Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux.
He said: “Each dish is carefully created to celebrate the finest ingredients, ensuring every meal is as special as the voyage itself. I’m incredibly fond of my partnership with Cunard and I’m really excited to continue this luxury collaboration in 2025.”
Another stand-out feature of the refurbishment is the introduction of The Pavilion Wellness Café, which debuted earlier this year on Cunard’s newest ship, Queen Anne.
This wellness-focused venue will serve breakfast, lunch and daytime dining with a menu celebrating plant based cuisine alongside sustainably sourced meat, fish and dairy.
Guests can also enjoy the Harper’s Bazaar Wellness at Sea programme, also first seen on Queen Anne. Three-day packages will be tailored to relaxation, energy restoration or recovery, providing a rejuvenating journey at sea.
The Caribbean season will begin with a 12-night roundtrip sailing from Miami, offering guests the chance to visit Bridgetown’s UNESCO- listed Garrison and bustling markets of Castries, St Lucia.
Queen Elizabeth’s full season in Miami – a first for Cunard – will offer a dedicated programme of roundtrip Caribbean voyages with itineraries ranging from nine to 28 nights.
