A plaque ~ The Queen Elizabeth, a luxurious cruise ship known for its British heritage and impeccable service, has arrived at the Port of Seattle for the first time. This marks the beginning of a highly anticipated season of Alaskan voyages for the newly refreshed ship.

Cunard's Queens have been synonymous with luxury travel for 185 years, and now Queen Elizabeth will be homeported in Seattle for two exclusive seasons. Liz Fettes, Senior Vice President of Commercial for North America at Cunard, expressed excitement about bringing their renowned White Star Service to the region.

According to Fettes, "Historic grandeur, refined elegance, bespoke experiences and unparalleled personal service are cornerstones of a Cunard voyage." She also added that their view of luxury is rooted in the belief that experiences can be both elegant and relaxed, which is reflected in their Alaska voyages aboard Queen Elizabeth.

The ship has undergone a stunning refresh, with revitalized signature spaces and an elevated Princess and Queens Grills experience. This includes expansive suites, added amenities, butler service, and access to private spaces and restaurants on board. In addition to new interiors, guests can also enjoy an exquisite three-course Gala Evening menu designed by Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux exclusively for Grill Suite guests.
