Guests sailing aboard Cunard‘s Queen Elizabeth during its maiden Caribbean season from Miami will be able to choose from a collection of new and exclusive shore experiences designed to celebrate the culture, cuisine, and natural beauty of the region.
Available on voyages departing from 16 October 2025, the Iconic Collection includes 32 carefully curated experiences across 12 destinations such as St Lucia, St Maarten and St Thomas.
Highlights of the programme include a private catamaran trip around Antigua’s coastline, complete with sushi and barbecue food prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, as well as an off-road 4×4 adventure through Barbados that finishes with a cheese and wine picnic in the island’s scenic wilderness. Guests can also explore a secluded island in Anguilla.
Cunard President Katie McAlister highlighted the immersive nature of the experiences. “The Caribbean has long been a favourite destination for our guests, and we’re pleased to offer a new way to experience these much loved islands through our Iconic Collection,” she said.
“These experiences go beyond the usual tourist spots – they’re designed to create lasting memories and deeper connections with each place, all with the signature Cunard touch our guests expect.”
Other standout offerings include a private guided tour of Puerto Rico’s Old San Juan and El Yunque Rainforest, the “ultimate Dominican Coffee Experience,” and a luxury beach escape by helicopter to Barbuda Belle in Antigua. For those seeking relaxation, a luxury day pass at Scrub Island Resort in Tortola is also available.For the first time in Cunard’s history, one of its ships will spend an entire season homeported in Miami.
