Dubai’s iconic ship, the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2), is setting sail on a remarkable culinary adventure that evokes her illustrious maritime history. The event, Around the World in 80 Days, runs from October 1 to December 19, 2025, transforming the historic Queens Grill into a hub of global cuisine, promising guests a journey of flavors.
For 80 nights, diners will enjoy a rotating three-course menu inspired by 80 destinations the QE2 once graced with her presence. Each evening unveils a new chapter, from Southampton to Singapore and Marseille to Mumbai. One ship, eighty destinations, endless flavors.
Shaileen Jiwa, general manager of the Queen Elizabeth 2, remarked: “The QE2 embodies adventure, discovery, and elegance. With ‘Around the World in 80 Days’, she embarks on a culinary voyage. It’s not just dining; it’s storytelling. Each night allows guests to rediscover the world through taste, memory, and a connection to the ship’s historic essence.”
The QE2’s acclaimed culinary team has crafted menus that transport diners across cultures and continents. The experience traces the ship’s journey from her launch at Clydebank, Scotland, inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth II, to her current Dubai home as a maritime icon. Each dish narrates a story, turning her legendary travels into flavorful experiences.
Adding to the excitement, guests attending 10 or more evenings will enter a draw to win two tickets to a featured destination, including accommodation at an Accor hotel with full board. This exclusive prize completes the circle of travel romance.
The event is exclusively for dinner at the Queens Grill, once the domain of first-class passengers. The dining room becomes a living legacy, offering international flavors while honoring the QE2’s enduring maritime heritage.
After this limited-time series, Queens Grill will continue as a premier dining venue on board, maintaining its tradition of exquisite fine dining.
