Queen Elizabeth, the renowned Cunard liner, is currently in drydock in Singapore for a comprehensive refurbishment ahead of its 2025 sailings.

The 2,000-guest vessel is set to undergo significant enhancements to its classic spaces - including the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Panorama Pool Club, Garden Lounge, and The Pavilion - ensuring that each venue retains its distinguished character while offering renewed comfort and elegance.

Among the notable upgrades is the introduction of an exclusive Gala Evening menu, devised by Michelin‑starred chef Michel Roux for guests residing in the Grills suites. This refined 3-course dining experience underscores the ship’s commitment to elevated culinary excellence, and the Grills suites themselves will receive both interior and exterior improvements designed to maximize guest comfort.

After the refurbishment is completed, Queen Elizabeth will return to service on March 14th, 2025, embarking on a 15‑night repositioning cruise to the Far East. The itinerary includes visits to Japan - with stops in Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines - culminating in Yokohama to launch a spring season in Japan.

Mid‑season, the ship will reposition to Seattle before commencing a series of 7- to 11‑night cruises to Alaska and Canada, featuring ports such as Skagway, Juneau, Victoria, and Glacier Bay. Following a trans‑Canal repositioning, the vessel is slated to arrive in Miami for the 2025‑2026 winter season, offering 9- to 12‑night Caribbean cruises with stops at destinations including St. Maarten, Barbados, St. Lucia, Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Roatan.
