New entertainment in the Royal Court Theatre

You can enjoy watching the feel-good 'Kings of the Boardwalk', performed by the original West End cast of 'The Drifters Girl' musical – expect themes of 'friendship and unity', according to Cunard.

Another new performance in the Royal Court Theatre includes the 'Opera Cocktail' which is a twist on your favourite ensembles, duets and arias in a modern setting.

The cast does this by performing in new English translations and with what the line states as an 'engaging, intimate style'.

Puppetry, circus acts and more...

For those who are a fan of puppetry, you can watch 'Gulliver' through this unique way of storytelling.

Or, if you are looking for something more interactive, Cunard has launched 'Cluedo! The Interactive Game' onboard, where as line describes "you step into a world of 1930s high society where intrigue and secrets are the order of the day".

Additionally, there's the 'Circa Contemporary Circus', which will perform onboard Queen Elizabeth for a six-week residency.

Classic lovers must see Rodgers & Hammerstein's 'South Pacific' being performed for the first time at sea as well as go to watch Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night', delivered by Pursuit Theatre.

A twist of Sherlock Holmes is another intriguing addition to 'Cunard Showcases', with Holmes' sidekick Watson bagging centre stage in 'Watson: The Final Problem'.
