At full working capacity, Queen Elizabeth sets sail with over 230 kitchen staff preparing more than 12,000 meals a day – a feat of fine dining on an almost military scale. Step into our restaurants and explore beyond to find how this is achieved each day.

From afternoon tea to the cocktail hour, some favorite travel rituals have managed to endure the test of time. Discover their histories, and what these rituals look like on board a Cunard Queen in the 21st century.
