Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth Unveils Exclusive Shore Experiences for Maiden Miami Season

Cunard’s flagship, the Queen Elizabeth, is set to offer 32 exclusive shore experiences during its inaugural season in Miami, starting October 16, 2025. This Caribbean Iconic Collection spans 12 destinations, including St. Lucia, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas, and aims to provide immersive day-long encounters that deepen guests’ connections with the region.

Highlights of the curated offerings include a private catamaran excursion along Antigua’s coastline, a serene visit to a secluded island in Anguilla, and a rugged off-road 4×4 expedition in Barbados, which concludes with a cheese-and-wine picnic in a picturesque wilderness setting. Additional experiences feature helicopter transfers to the luxury beach on Barbuda and engaging coffee-processing sessions in the Dominican Republic, alongside private tours of historic Old San Juan and the El Yunque rainforest in Puerto Rico.

Partnering with local expert guides, Cunard ensures that guests gain access to both well-known highlights and hidden gems that truly showcase Caribbean culture. Katie McAlister, the president of Cunard, emphasized that these experiences are designed to create lasting memories while upholding the cruise line’s renowned standards.

For the first time, Queen Elizabeth will operate a full Caribbean season home-ported in Miami, with voyages ranging from 9 to 28 nights. The initial voyage, departing on October 16, will be a 12-night round-trip calling at popular ports, including Bridgetown in Barbados, Castries in St. Lucia, and Antigua, among others. Fares for accommodations start at GBP 799 per person for a Britannia Balcony stateroom.
