A Regal Refresh: Queen Elizabeth’s Stunning New Look

23/04/2025


Cunard's crown jewel just got shinier with a new homeport in sunny Miami, Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth is ready to become a star of the Caribbean and North American coasts. And like any royal preparing for a big debut, she’s had a bit of a glow-up. From regionally inspired cuisine to chic new spaces designed for soaking up the scenery; Queen Elizabeth’s refurb is all about blending timeless elegance with a fresh, destination-focused vibe. Let’s take a peek behind the velvet curtain and see what’s new aboard this modern-day monarch of the seas.

The Commodore Club: Sip, Sea, and Style

Famed for its panoramic ocean views and perfectly shaken martinis, the Commodore Club is a fan favourite across the Cunard fleet—and now it’s looking more dashing than ever. Think plush seating, eye-catching design details, and an elevated atmosphere that’s just as fabulous as the cocktails. Whether you’re toasting a sunset or settling in for an after-dinner nightcap, this iconic lounge now offers an even more stylish backdrop to your sea-gazing sessions.

Queens Room: Where Teatime Meets Showtime

Part grand ballroom, part social heart of the ship; the Queens Room is where Cunard tradition shines brightest. Picture elegant Afternoon Teas, high-energy Zumba classes, and glamorous Gala Evenings; all under one beautifully designed roof. Inspired by the flower-filled borders of Britain’s Royal Palaces and framed by sweeping art deco windows; this updated space is welcoming by day and dazzling by night—a true jewel in Queen Elizabeth’s crown.

Grills Experience: The Suite Life Gets Sweeter

Luxury lives here. Queen Elizabeth’s exclusive Grills Suites and Lounge have been tastefully enhanced, but it’s the Grills Terrace that’s had the biggest glow-up—designed to draw your eye straight to the horizon. Whether you’re toasting new friendships in the Lounge or kicking back on one of the new double sun beds with a view of Alaskan glaciers or Caribbean sunsets; the upgraded Grills experience is all about serenity, sophistication, and serious sea views.

Wellness Cafe: Good Vibes, Great Greens

Delicious and nutritious? Yes, please. Queen Elizabeth’s brand-new Wellness Café is serving up exactly that. This casual, open-air spot is your go-to for fresh juices, vibrant smoothies, and wholesome bites like grain bowls, protein-packed salads, and seasonal snacks. It’s the perfect pit stop after a spa session or a morning stroll on deck. Because even on holiday, wellness can (and should) taste amazing.
