Art Deco interiors, a Games Deck high above the sea and a Garden Lounge inspired by the glasshouses at Kew Gardens.

Queen Elizabeth entered service in October 2010, the day after being named in Southampton by Queen Elizabeth II, and is a modified Vista-class ship built by Fincantieri. Her interiors recall the 1930s and pay tribute to the first RMS Queen Elizabeth and to Queen Elizabeth 2. In March 2025 she completed a refit in Singapore that renewed the Queens Room, the Commodore Club, the Garden Lounge, the Pavilion and the Grill Suites, and added The Pavilion Wellness Café.
