Cunard’s recently revamped Queen Elizabeth ship arrived at PortMiami on Thursday for the first time to kick off its Caribbean voyages.
Queen Elizabeth moved to the region for a two-season residency of nine- to 21-night itineraries, with author, philanthropist, and the Grand Dame of Bravo’s Southern Charm, Patricia Altschul, joining the inaugural Caribbean voyage.
The nine to 21-night Caribbean voyages take place between October and April, with rates starting from $1,078 per person for an ocean view stateroom, based on double occupancy.
“At Cunard, we believe true luxury is as much about warmth and joy as it is about sophistication,” Cunard Senior Vice President Liz Fettes said. “With Queen Elizabeth’s arrival, we are redefining luxury cruising in the Caribbean with our gracious service, sumptuous Art Deco design and new, heart-stirring entertainment – all paired with the Caribbean’s charm, lively rhythms and genuine hospitality.”
The nine- and 12-night voyages explore Eastern Caribbean, which visits ports including San Juan, Puerto Rico; St John’s, Antigua; Castries, St Lucia; Bridgetown, Barbados; Philipsburg, St Maarten; Road Town, Tortola, while the Western Caribbean sailings include visits to Amber Cove, Dominican Republic; Montego Bay, Jamaica; Belize City, Belize; Cozumel, Mexico. The 21-night voyages visit ports in both the east and west.
Once the winter and spring in the Caribbean are completed, the Cunard ship will continue her North American residency, repositioning to Seattle in May, where she will homeport for a second and final season of Alaskan voyages during summer 2026.
Onboard, passengers can enjoy a plethora of new luxury experiences, including nearly 120 limited-time theatrical performances, innovative culinary experiences, a reimagined Commodore Club, and a series of guest lectures.
Queen Elizabeth also boasts revitalized signature spaces, such as the Royal Court Theatre, Queens Room, Lido Pool Club, Grills Suites, Pavilion Wellness Café, Harper’s Bazaar Wellness at Sea program, and more.
“We are thrilled to welcome Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth to PortMiami,” PortMiami Director and CEO Hydi Webb said. “I also want to commend Cunard’s investment in our community. With the addition of Cunard to Miami’s roster of cruise line offerings, passengers will be able to sail aboard ships with a legacy of elegance and comfort.”
