The British cruise line returned to sailing with a Western Europe voyage in October, its first voyage to leave the UK since the pandemic.
As a journalist who covers the British royals, I was intrigued that the ship is named after Queen Elizabeth.
The Queen Elizabeth, launched in 2010, is the third Cunard ship to take the name, according to its website. The original RMS Queen Elizabeth was in service from 1939 until 1968, and the Queen Elizabeth 2 was launched in 1969 and retired in 2008.
Queen Elizabeth II was at all three naming ceremonies, the website states.
