Step on board Queen Elizabeth for a voyage to remember. Inspired by the iconic Big Bands of the Swing era, Cunard’s Big Band Ball brings together performers from across the ship with eminent musicians from the British Big Band scene, to create a swinging 18-piece orchestra for a very special evening.

Your days at sea can be spent perfecting your steps for the night ahead with our expert-led dance classes or enjoying a variety live music throughout the ship.

Don your finest eveningwear and make your way to the Queens Room where the band will delight with music from Glenn Miller, Count Basie and Duke Ellington, while the vocalists perform songs from the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan and The Rat Pack, and their modern-day counterparts, Michael Buble, Jamie Cullum and Harry Connick Jr.

This nine-night voyage will depart from Tokyo, tracing the shores of Japan and South Korea and promises to be a spectacular event for dance and music lovers everywhere.
