Queen Elizabeth, launched in 2010, is Cunard Line’s second Vista Class ship and sister to 2007’s Queen Victoria. This midsize vessel carries 2,081 passengers and features glamorous Art Deco décor (polished and refined during a major refurbishment in 2018) and exudes a proper British flair that draws a largely British clientele. More than any other line, Cunard offers a time-honored ocean liner experience, with wood-paneled décor, ballroom dancing in the evenings, a traditional English pub, croquet on the Games Deck, and a formal, multicourse afternoon tea.
