Cunard's Queen Elizabeth Let's Take A Closer Look

The newest vessel to join the Cunard fleet, Queen Elizabeth, has already firmly stretched her sea legs but let’s have a closer look

Queen Elizabeth is more than ready to take you on a high seas adventure and in five star luxury. Having joined the Cunard fleet in October 2010 for her maiden voyage, almost a year to the date we decided it was time to have a closer look at this stunning vessel.

Taking a cruise onboard Queen Elizabeth is certainly one to leave you hoping for more, her onboard facilities include numerous bars including Churchills and The Golden Lion pub, a state of the art spa, well equipped and staffed children’s club and a night club named The Yacht club where you can dance until the early morning hours.

Although the Queen Elizabeth is very similar on interior layout to her sister Queen Victoria, her décor happens to be very different indeed. The Queen Elizabeth is nicely finished with various art deco pieces and is a tribute to the former Queen Elizabeth and the QE2.
