About Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth is a modified Vista-class ship built by Fincantieri at Monfalcone and in service since October 2010. Her layout is close to Queen Victoria's, but her decor pays tribute to the earlier Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth 2, with many Art Deco touches recalling the 1930s. She measures about 90,900 gross tons and carries 2,092 guests in lower berths. A two-week refit at Damen Shiprepair Brest in January 2019 updated cabins, corridors, the spa and shops. Since 2019 she has spent summers in Alaska sailing from Vancouver, with spring seasons in Japan and southern-summer seasons in Australia.
