A curated collection of 32 new shore experiences will be available to guests sailing on Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth during the ship’s maiden season from Miami, Florida, which begins on 16 October 2025.
The experiences will be available in 12 Caribbean locations, including St Lucia, St Maarten and St Thomas, with Cunard promising to offer “something for every kind of traveller”, from thrill-seekers to food lovers and nature enthusiasts. Cunard has partnered with local guides to identify tourist attractions to include for guests in the Caribbean Iconic Collection.
Guests can embark on a private catamaran trip around Antigua with sushi and barbecue prepared by a Michelin-starred chef. Another option is an off-road 4x4 ride in Barbados, which culminates with a cheese and wine picnic in the island’s wilderness.
Other activities include a private tour of Puerto Rico, visiting sites such as Old San Juan and El Yunque Rainforest; exploring Antigua by helicopter; and a day pass to Scrub Island Resort, Spa and Marina in Tortola.

“The Caribbean has long been a favourite destination for our guests, and we’re pleased to offer a new way to experience these much-loved islands through our Iconic Collection,” said Katie McAlister, president of Cunard. “These experiences go beyond the usual tourist spots – they’re designed to create lasting memories and deeper connections with each place, all with the signature Cunard touch our guests expect.”
Queen Elizabeth is the first Cunard ship in the British cruise line’s 185-year history to spend a full season in Miami. The ship will offer round-trip Caribbean voyages with itineraries ranging from nine to 28 nights.
