Luxury British cruise line Cunard’s Queen Anne ship arrived in Miami yesterday for her maiden call, marking the second time the vessel has been to North America since its 2024 launch. 

Meanwhile, Cunard will be working towards the maiden voyage of Queen Elizabeth to the Caribbean on October 16, the first time in the company’s 185-year-old history that one of their ships will spend a full season in Miami.

The Caribbean season will begin with a 12-night roundtrip sailing from Miami with stops in Bridgetown, Barbados and Castries, Saint Lucia. The Queen Elizabeth will also be offering a program of roundtrip voyages with itineraries ranging from nine to 28 nights. Stops include Montego Bay, San Juan and St. John's, Antigua.

Before the voyage, Cunard will be doing a significant refit of their 2,000-guest ship from February 25 to March 13, 2025, in Seatrium’s Admiralty Yard in Singapore. The transformation will also feature refreshed signature interiors and exteriors, and renovated signature spaces such as the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Panorama Pool Club, Garden Lounge and The Pavilion.

Additional amenities include the Harper’s Bazaar Wellness at Sea program and a soon-to-be-announced celebrity chef relationship on board.

Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, is proud to have chosen Miami as their port for Queen Anne’s North American debut and Queen Elizabeth’s upcoming season. “We’re honored and excited to bring guests our signature White Star Service, and compelling entertainment, wellness, and culinary offerings to their Caribbean voyage experience,” McAlister said in a statement.
