Laundry:
The ship offers free self-service laundry rooms during long sea days. Queen Elizabeth provides free self-service launderettes on almost every cabin deck, complete with free washing machines, dryers, and ironing boards.
Full Laundry & Dry-cleaning service is available through the ship’s paid valet service. A price list and laundry bag are provided in your stateroom.
Packing for a 113-night cruise:
It requires a strategic approach. Starting from tropical heat departures directly into chilly European winter and variable autumn climates, a strategic wardrobe based on clever layering is essential.
Passengers benefit from a generous luggage allowance. Cunard does not limit the number of suitcases you can bring on board for cruise-only passengers. However, individual bags can weigh no more than 23 kg (50 lbs) for safe handling.
If you booked a flight through Cunard or independently the airline’s strict luggage restrictions take complete precedence over the cruise line’s rules.
If you are using Cunard’s Cruise Connect coach service, you are restricted to a maximum of three medium suitcases per person (each under 23kg), plus one small piece of hand luggage.
Pack for roughly 14 to 20 days and utilize the ship’s free laundry rooms. Keep in mind to pack for cold/rainy (for transatlantic sea days and breezy deck walks), tropical/hot (for the Caribbean, Asian, and Pacific transit), and transitional layers (light sweaters and cardigans for indoor air conditioning).
A full Cunard world voyage upholds classic maritime glamour. Queen Elizabeth typically schedules two formal Gala Evenings per week, translating to roughly 23–26 Gala Dinners across the entire 113-night route!
A traditional tuxedo or dinner jacket is highly encouraged for men. Floor-length ballgowns, elegant cocktail dresses, or high-end evening trouser suits are standard for women. Pack 3 to 5 core formal options and use statement jewelry, distinct ties, or colorful pashminas to change the look.
Bring broken-in walking shoes or supportive sneakers for long port excursions. Versatile sandals or boat shoes can pull double-duty for daytime relaxing and casual buffet dining. One or two pairs of dress shoes or elegant flats that match all selected formal outfits should be part of your wardrobe as well.

Available cabins onboard the Queen Elizabeth are:
- Britannia Staterooms
Inside, Oceanview, or Balcony

Prices:
Prices for this 113-night world cruise start at $17,239 per person. Prices are in USD, based on double occupancy, and includes taxes and fees.
Internet and Roaming:
Let’s talk about roaming charges on your ship. Cruise ships offer internet packages, some starting at $20/day and on some cruise lines you must purchase the package for the full length of your cruise. If you want a one-time 24-hour internet pass, it will be even more expensive. There are different plan options, such as video calls and social media only, or full packages to include streaming movies and music. Each cruise ship company has their own plans and packages, check ahead of time to compare options.
