Queen Elizabeth

If you’re staying in the Britannia accommodation, then the Britannia Restaurant is for you. An elegant two-tier dining room, offering a wide selection of a la carte specialities where you can dine at a time to suit you between 6pm and 8:30pm. Then there are the two Grill Rooms - Queens Grill (exclusive to Queens Grill Suite guests) and Princess Grill. Both are exclusive eateries featuring impressive a la carte menus. Adding to the roster is The Veranda Restaurant. Reservations are required here - and there is a cover charge for lunch and dinner. But the extra effort is definitely worth it. For a more casual eatery, there’s always The Lido Cafe and the Golden Lion Pub - where traditional British pub food is served at an additional charge.

Why not start each day with a brisk walk or jog around the Promenade Deck while taking in the splendid views? Guests can also enjoy a leisurely swim in two of the swimming pools or just relax in one of the few whirlpools. With its English country garden feel, the Games Deck is a great place to play croquet, traditional bowls or paddle tennis. Fancy learning to dance the Jitterbug, the Lindy Hop or traditional Ballroom? Attend the on-board dance lessons and practice for the evening. Or if you like your retail therapy, you will love the traditional arcade on deck three.

Children can have a fun time too, thanks to Queen Elizabeth’s children’s programme on deck 10, run by qualified nannies. There is an outdoor children’s play area and programmes for teenagers, while babysitting services are also available.

The Royal Spa by Elemis boasts a range of indulgent treatments and massages, for a treat yourself day.

In the style of a classic opera house, the three-tier high Royal Court Theatre features 20 private royal boxes, which you can reserve for a special occasion if you wish. There is a lounge for pre-show drinks, too. A fabulous Big Band night is often held in the Queens Room - where you will be served afternoon tea as you listen to the live music. For a more intimate venue, there is the Yacht Club, where you can dance until the early hours. Feeling lucky? Head off to the Empire Casino to play on the slot machines. In terms of the bars and lounges you can choose from, there a huge range; Café Carinthia, Commodore Club, Golden Lion Pub, Queens Room, The Garden Lounge, The Pavilion and the Yacht Club are all ready to be discovered by cruisers.
