From spa serenity to storybook sailings, QE2 Dubai elevates its floating hotel legacy

The iconic Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) hotel continues to redefine hospitality in Dubai as the city’s only floating hotel. Docked at Port Rashid, the historic vessel invites guests to experience a unique blend of heritage, elegance and contemporary comfort through a series of curated offerings designed to immerse visitors in its storied past.
At the heart of QE2’s latest experiences is the newly introduced “Walk in the Queen’s Shoes” staycation, a thoughtfully curated escape that allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the ship’s legacy. The experience includes: an overnight stay onboard the historic liner, breakfast and traditional afternoon tea, a rejuvenating spa treatment, a guided heritage tour of the ship and early check-in and late check-out for a seamless stay.
Enhancing the onboard experience is the QE2 Spa, open daily and offering a refined selection of treatments designed to restore both body and mind. The spa partners with globally respected brands: Omorovicza - for advanced facial treatments, and KOS Paris - for body rituals.
For those seeking a deeper connection to the ship’s legacy, the QE2 Heritage Tour offers a daily guided experience priced at Dh85 per person. Guests are invited to step back into the golden age of ocean travel, exploring: original interiors and preserved design elements, stories from the ship’s 40-year sailing history and insights into British maritime engineering and culture.
