In addition to these culturally rich meals, Cunard is also unveiling new signature cocktails. Made with locally sourced ingredients, these beverages will bring the essence of the Caribbean to every glass. As part of this new offering, The Whispering Hour will be hosted at both the Lido Pool Club and Grill Suites Terrace, providing guests with an exclusive happy hour experience. Complete with live music, ice sculptures, and decorative fruit arrangements, this event promises to create an unforgettable atmosphere to unwind and socialize.
To complement these special dining events, Cunard will introduce pre-dinner Sunset Celebrations and post-dinner deck parties. With Caribbean-themed cocktails and live entertainment, these events will offer the perfect way to enjoy the ship’s vibrant atmosphere while sailing through some of the world’s most picturesque waters.
Revolutionary Entertainment Offerings
Entertainment onboard the Queen Elizabeth is receiving an exciting upgrade. A highlight of the 2025-26 season is the introduction of the first-ever at-sea production of Come From Away. This award-winning musical, known for its uplifting portrayal of resilience in the face of adversity, will be featured on every sailing. As Cunard marks the musical’s 10th anniversary, guests will have the rare opportunity to see it performed on the high seas.
In addition to Come From Away, Cunard has also partnered with Tony Award-winning performers and Broadway and West End stars. These talented artists will perform throughout the season, including on Caribbean voyages. Guests will enjoy performances from stars of popular productions like Wicked, Chicago, The Lion King, and The Phantom of the Opera, adding to the cruise’s world-class entertainment offerings.
Cunard is also transforming its Commodore Club into the “Abbey Road Listening Lounge,” where guests can immerse themselves in a curated music collection. Featuring classic recordings from The Beatles, Ed Sheeran, Fela Kuti, and Little Simz, as well as iconic film scores from Harry Potter, Barbie, Black Panther, and Lord of the Rings, the lounge will be an exciting destination for music lovers. Alongside the music, the lounge will display replica recording equipment, allowing guests to experience a bit of music history firsthand.
Inspiring Lectures and Guest Speakers
Adding depth to the onboard programming, Cunard will feature an impressive roster of guest speakers from various fields. These Insight Speakers will offer talks on a wide array of fascinating topics, from space exploration to Olympic triumphs. Among the distinguished speakers joining the ship will be an actor known for his role in a beloved television series. This provides a special opportunity for fans to meet and hear firsthand from one of their favorite stars during the 12-night roundtrip Eastern Caribbean cruise in late November.
