For a bit of modern fun, join in on karaoke or relax in one of the ship's whirlpools.
Refined Relaxation & Unique Pursuits

For a unique experience, head to the Games Deck to try your hand at a game of croquet or paddle tennis in the middle of the ocean. Or, lose yourself in the two-story library, elegantly appointed with thousands of volumes to peruse.
Celebrated Cuisine
Cunard® is renowned for its exceptional cuisine. From the elegant Britannia® Restaurant™ to the exclusive Queens Grill, every meal is an event.

Meet Your Host, Cindi Sanden
I'm honored to be your Ensemble Host for this unforgettable Alaskan voyage aboard Cunard's Queen Elizabeth®. As the owner of Awaken Travels and a certified Ensemble Ambassador, I've had the privilege of hosting cruise groups in some of the world's most breathtaking destinations.
Alaska, however, is especially close to my heart. My husband, Nate, was born and raised there, and much of his family still calls the Last Frontier home. Every time I return, I'm struck by its raw beauty—towering glaciers, vibrant fishing towns, abundant wildlife—and it never fails to leave me in awe.
As your host, I'll be on board to make sure your experience is seamless, personal, and truly memorable. From our exclusive Ensemble Experience shore event to our private cocktail reception, I'll be there to connect you with fellow travelers, share insider tips, and help you savor every moment—both on the ship and ashore.
I can't wait to welcome you aboard and explore this majestic land together in timeless Cunard style.
