Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth has set sail on a repositioning voyage from Seattle to PortMiami, marking the start of its first-ever winter season in the Caribbean.
Departing on September 25, 2025, the ship is currently operating a 21-night itinerary that includes a full transit through the Panama Canal and stops in California, Mexico, Costa Rica, Aruba, and Curaçao. Scheduled ports of call include San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cabo San Lucas, Puntarenas, Willemstad, and Oranjestad.
The voyage will conclude on October 16, 2025, when the Queen Elizabeth arrives in Miami to begin a lineup of nine- to 12-night cruises across the Caribbean and Central America.
For its maiden Caribbean sailing, the vessel will embark on a 12-night Eastern Caribbean cruise, featuring visits to Tortola, St. Maarten, Antigua, Barbados, Puerto Rico, and St. Lucia. Additional ports on its regional schedule include Cozumel, Montego Bay, and Belize City.
According to Cunard, the Caribbean season will showcase exclusive culinary and entertainment programming, including 120 special theatrical performances and limited-edition dining events. One highlight is Karibe, a new dining experience designed to celebrate the flavors and culture of the Caribbean, with dishes such as jerk chicken, tiger prawns, and goat curry, paired with regionally inspired cocktails.
Earlier this year, the Queen Elizabeth underwent an extensive refurbishment, introducing refreshed décor and upgraded public spaces. Enhancements were made to the Commodore Club, Queens Room, and Garden Lounge, while outdoor decks received new sunshades and improved leisure areas.
The ship’s deployment in the region reinforces Cunard’s growing presence in the Caribbean market, combining the line’s signature elegance with regional flair.
