Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth Enters Drydock in Singapore

Queen Elizabeth

The Queen Elizabeth has recently arrived in Singapore to undergo a refurbishment.

According to Cunard, the 2,000-guest ship will be upgraded for its 2025 cruise seasons in Alaska and the Caribbean.

The project includes renovations to Queen Elizabeth’s signature spaces, such as the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Panorama Pool Club, Garden Lounge and The Pavilion.

Focusing on tranquility and vibrancy, the venues are set to be thoughtfully revitalized, the company explained.

The Queen Elizabeth is also getting an exclusive Gala Evening menu, crafted by Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux, which will be available for guests staying in Grills suites.

Featuring a three-course dining experience, the menu is said to include curated dishes designed to celebrate the finest culinary experiences at sea.

Passengers in the Grills suites will benefit from further enhancements, such as updated interiors and exteriors featuring new furnishings and designs aimed at delivering the ultimate comfort.

After completing the drydock, the Queen Elizabeth is scheduled to resume service in Singapore on March 14, 2025.

The 2010-built vessel welcomes guests back on that day for a 15-night repositioning cruise to the Far East.

Sailing to Japan, the open-jaw cruise features visits to destinations in Vietnam, the Philippines and Taiwan, as well as Hong Kong.

Upon arriving in Yokohama, the Queen Elizabeth is scheduled to offer a spring season in Japan before repositioning to Seattle in mid-June.

The ship then kicks off a series of seven- to 11-night cruises to Alaska and Canada that feature visits to destinations like Skagway, Juneau, Victoria and Glacier Bay.

Following a trans-Canal repositioning cruise, the 2,000-guest vessel will arrive in Miami for the 2025-26 winter season.

Through mid-April 2026, the Queen Elizabeth offers nine- to 12-night cruises to various parts of the Caribbean from South Florida.

Ports of call featured in the deployment include St. Maarten, Barbados, St. Lucia, Cozumel, Costa Maya and Roatán.
