The Route
The itinerary can vary slightly depending on the exact dates you choose. The cruise always begins in Miami, Florida. After departing the port, the Queen Elizabeth sets sail for Grand Cayman, home to the famous Seven Mile Beach. The journey continues through Montego Bay and Roatán to Mexico, with stops at Costa Maya on the Yucatán Peninsula and Cozumel. The first leg of the journey concludes with a stopover in Miami.
The second segment visits various islands in the eastern Caribbean. Ports of call include St. Thomas, Antigua, and St. Lucia, followed by Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados, with a population of just 6,700. Next is St. Maarten, an island divided into Dutch and French territories, globally renowned among aviation enthusiasts for its unique airport. The final port of the journey is Road Town on Tortola. After 21 nights, the cruise ends back in Miami.
The Ship
The Queen Elizabeth, operated by Cunard Line, is a mid-sized cruise ship with a design that blends art deco influences and contemporary elements. Launched in 2010, it continues the company’s tradition of ocean liner-inspired interiors while functioning as a modern cruise vessel. The ship has a gross tonnage of about 90,900 and accommodates around 2,081 passengers, offering a relatively spacious environment compared to many ships of similar size.
Public areas include lounges, bars, and dining venues that range from formal dining rooms to casual buffets, with a strong emphasis on maintaining Cunard’s well-known dress codes and formal night traditions. The Royal Court Theatre hosts live productions and classical performances, while the ship’s library and card room cater to quieter pastimes. Outdoor decks feature pools, whirlpools, and areas for deck games, alongside a covered pool space for less predictable weather.
The Queen Elizabeth retains elements of traditional maritime style, such as a promenade deck for walking laps and polished wood details in its interior decor. Cabins vary from compact inside rooms to large suites, many with private balconies. Service onboard leans toward formality, reflecting Cunard’s British heritage, though the passenger mix is international.
The ship primarily operates in regions such as Europe, Asia, and Australia, depending on the season, with itineraries that often appeal to travellers looking for a slower-paced, more classic cruising atmosphere rather than a high-energy resort feel. It’s particularly known for attracting repeat Cunard passengers who appreciate the blend of tradition and modern comfort.
