Around the World in 80 Days — launching October 1 to December 19 2025. From Southampton to Singapore, Marseille to Mumbai — One Ship. Eighty Destinations. Infinite Flavours.
This October, the legendary Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) will set sail on a new kind of voyage – one of flavour, culture, and nostalgia – with the launch of an extraordinary culinary series, Around the World in 80 Days.
Running for 80 nights from 1 October to 19 December 2025, the experience will transform the historic Queens Grill, once reserved for first-class passengers, into a global dining stage. Guests will relive the QE2’s storied journeys through a rotating set menu inspired by 80 iconic destinations the ship visited during her golden years at sea.
Shaileen Jiwa, General Manager of the Queen Elizabeth 2, commented: “The QE2 has always represented adventure, discovery, and elegance. With ‘Around the World in 80 Days’, she sails again, this time on a culinary journey. It’s not just about food; it’s about storytelling. Each evening invites our guests to rediscover the world through taste, memory, and a sense of connection to the history that still resonates through the decks of this remarkable ship.”
Every night, diners will be transported to a new country through a three-course menu beautifully curated by the QE2’s award-winning culinary team. From the historic John Brown Shipyard of Clydebank, Scotland, where the QE2 was launched by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, to the shimmering shores of Dubai, where she resides as a floating icon — each dinner reveals a new chapter in the ship’s rich legacy, reimagined on a plate. From Southampton to Singapore, Marseille to Mumbai, one ship. Eighty destinations. Infinite flavours.
Adding to the excitement, guests who dine on 10 or more evenings during the promotion will be entered into a lucky draw to win two tickets to one of the featured destinations, with accommodation at an Accor hotel on a full-board basis, bringing the romance of travel full circle.
Available exclusively for dinner at Queens Grill, this immersive culinary journey invites guests not only to savour exquisite global flavours, but to be part of a living legacy.
Following the conclusion of this limited-time series, Queens Grill will remain open as a signature dining destination on board, preserving its legacy of timeless fine dining.
Book your table. Stamp your taste passport. And experience the world, one unforgettable dinner at a time, aboard Dubai’s most storied hotel.
