Queen Elizabeth - Alaska Glaciers from Seattle
Part of Queen Elizabeth's 2026 return to Alaska, this 10-night Seattle round-trip packs in two glacier days — scenic cruising in Endicott Arm and a full day in Glacier Bay National Park — alongside five port calls. Wrangell and an evening in Victoria, British Columbia round out a route that goes deeper than the standard 7-night loop.

What Travelers Say About Queen Elizabeth
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Queen Elizabeth sailing. Based on 2,000 discussions.
Queen Elizabeth is the newest of Cunard's Vista-class trio of Queens, launched in 2010 and slightly newer than Queen Victoria. Where Victoria leans into heavy Victoriana, Elizabeth's signature is lighter, geometric 1930s Art Deco glamour, made airier still by a March 2025 Singapore refit. The vibe is unmistakably British and traditional: gala formal nights, ballroom dancing in a proper Queens Room, white-gloved daily afternoon tea, enrichment lectures, and croquet on the Games Deck - closer to a floating grand hotel than a waterpark at sea.
What People Love
- Authentic British ocean-liner experience with White Star service, gala nights, and heritage atmosphere no contemporary line replicates
- Daily white-glove afternoon tea in the Queens Room with live music
- Lighter, elegant 1930s Art Deco decor that feels airier and more glamorous than Queen Victoria's heavier Victoriana
Common Complaints
- Recurring food-quality complaints in recent reviews, with dishes described as middling, overdone, or inconsistent in the main dining room
- A nickel-and-diming perception, with new upcharges reported on items like pub burgers and removed in-cabin extras
- Highly variable service, with recent reviews swinging from excellent to indifferent
