Quick Answer: Queen Elizabeth is a Vista Class Cunard ship — 90,901 GT, 2,081 guests, launched in 2010. Named for the original Queen Elizabeth (1938), she carries forward Cunard's tradition of grand ballrooms, formal nights, and world voyages. This page covers deck plans, live tracking, dining venues, and videos.

Best For: Travelers who want classic Cunard elegance at an intimate scale. Queen Elizabeth suits cruisers who prefer the grand ballroom, Royal Court Theatre performances, and the ritual of formal evenings — without the 3,000-guest crowds of larger ships.

Queen Elizabeth tends to suit passengers who value Cunard's British heritage and a slower, more refined pace of cruising. At roughly 90,000 GT she feels more personal than Queen Anne or QM2, with a loyal following among world-voyage passengers. Her grand lobby and ballroom set the tone — this is a ship built for dancing, afternoon tea, and long sea days with a good book. If you want Cunard's newest venues and largest capacity, Queen Anne is the better choice. If you want the transatlantic crossing experience, that belongs to Queen Mary 2.
