Kid's Stuff

Play Zone

Younger members of the family and perhaps some adults will not want to leave The Play Zone filled with toys, games and activities. As the younger children delight in the soft play area and ball pool you can be certain that they are in the best of care with our certified Early Years staff.

A range of engaging activities will be thoughtfully prepared by youth staff including sports, arts and crafts and a disco, as well as themed days such as Pirate Day! The teen area, with its computers and relaxed layout provides an ideal setting for older children to meet and make new friends. Adjoining the Play Zone is the outside pool area where the whole family can enjoy themselves.

Please note that children must be a minimum of two-years-old to participate in the Nursery without parental supervision. Children under one-year-old are welcome, provided they are accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times.

RMS Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth features many unique Cunard traditions linking her with her sisters, Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria, and their predecessors. It also features all the modern day luxuries Cunard’s guests have come to expect. Additionally, there are features that give the vessel her own style and personality. 

The first Queen Elizabeth was one of Cunard’s greatest ships, and the new Queen Elizabeth reflects her predecessor in interior grandeur, décor and style, but with a modern twist. From the outside, her distinctive black and red livery hints at an experience that differentiates a Cunard liner from a modern-day cruise ship.

This is most evident in the ship’s adherence to liner traditions, with elegant double- and triple-height public rooms on a grand scale, luxuriously endowed with rich wood paneling, intricate mosaics, hand-woven carpets, gleaming chandeliers and cool marbles. Art Deco features pay homage to the original Queen Elizabeth and will allow the new ship to reflect a more civilized era of travel.  As successor to Queen Elizabeth 2, the ship will also reflect this great liner through artwork and memorabilia, and its very own “Yacht Club.”
