About Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth is a Cunard ship built by Fincantieri at Monfalcone, Italy, as a development of Carnival's Vista-class design, and delivered in September 2010. Queen Elizabeth II named her in Southampton on 11 October 2010, and she has been registered in Bermuda since 2011. The 90,901 GT, 294-metre ship had a refit at Seatrium's Admiralty Yard in Singapore in February and March 2025 that refreshed the Queens Room, Commodore Club, Garden Lounge and Grills spaces.
