BIG BAND BALL TO MARK 'QE'S' BIRTHDAY

What better way celebrate a ship's birthday than a Big Band Ball? That's how Cunard is marking the fifth birthday of Queen Elizabeth during a special sailing Oct. 2-7, 2015.

On Oct. 3, the eve of Queen Elizabeth’s 5th birthday, guests will enjoy a "classic black tie gala dinner with a specially crafted commemorative menu to mark the occasion. Then they will be welcomed to the Queens Ballroom by the ship’s 14 piece band, as it strikes up hits from some of the most successful artists of the era including Glenn Miller, Ted Heath, Count Basie and Duke Ellington." Guests will gather for a midnight countdown to Queen Elizabeth’s official birthday.

The five-night cruise will also feature one of the UK’s best tribute 60s acts, The Overtures, as well as historian Eric Flounders, who will lecture on the history of Cunard.
