Cunard has announced a collection of new and exclusive shore experiences for Queen Elizabeth passengers during its inaugural season sailing from Miami. Designed to immerse guests in the vibrant culture, flavors, and natural beauty of the Caribbean, these unique experiences will be available on sailings departing from October 16, 2025.
The collection includes 32 experiences across 12 sun-drenched destinations, including St. Lucia, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas, offering options for all types of travelers: from adventure seekers to foodies and nature enthusiasts. Highlights include a private catamaran cruise along Antigua's pristine coastline, accompanied by sushi and a barbecue prepared by a Michelin-starred chef; a visit to a secluded paradise island in Anguilla, revealing the unspoiled tropical beauty of this hidden gem; or a 4x4 off-road adventure in Barbados, culminating in a cheese and wine picnic amidst the island's most picturesque landscapes.
The shipping company has collaborated with expert local guides to give its guests access to both well-known tourist attractions and hidden gems, going far beyond the typical routes of conventional tourism.
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, stated: “The Caribbean has always been a favorite destination for our passengers, and we are delighted to offer a new way to experience these beloved islands through our Iconic Collection. These experiences go beyond the usual tourist spots: they are designed to create lasting memories and deeper connections with each destination, always with the distinctive Cunard touch our guests have come to expect.”
Other highlights include a private tour of Puerto Rico, visiting places like Old San Juan and the El Yunque rainforest; the ultimate Dominican coffee experience, where travelers actively participate in the brewing process; a luxury helicopter getaway to Barbuda Belle Beach, ideal for adventure lovers; or a luxury day at Scrub Island Resort in Tortola, for those who want to relax in style.
For the first time in Cunard's history, one of its iconic ships will spend an entire season in Miami. The Queen Elizabeth will offer a special program of round-trip Caribbean cruises, with itineraries ranging from 9 to 28 nights. Passengers can enjoy idyllic getaways to iconic destinations such as Montego Bay (Jamaica), San Juan (Puerto Rico), and St. John's (Antigua).
The Queen Elizabeth's inaugural Caribbean voyage from Miami sets sail on October 16, 2025, with a 12-night round-trip journey that includes stops in Bridgetown (Barbados), with its UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the vibrant markets of Castries (Saint Lucia).
