Famous retailers will be accommodated in a Royal Aracde of shops over two decks and a Golden Lion bar will offer British public house food and drinks.

Eight-five percent of the staterooms will be outside and 71 percent will offer balconies. The top six suites on Queen Elizabeth will each be named after a former commodore of the line.
