What is Queen Elizabeth?

MS Queen Elizabeth is a Vista-class cruise ship operated by Cunard Line, named after and christened by Queen Elizabeth II on 11 October 2010 in Southampton. She is a tribute to the two previous Queen Elizabeth ships, decorated with art deco touches evoking the 1930s, and features Cunard's distinctive Grills and Britannia class dining hierarchy.
