A Southampton-based cruise line has released the first images of one of its ships after it underwent a three-week makeover.
Cunard's Queen Elizabeth has been revitalised after a re-fit in Singapore ahead of its inaugural Caribbean voyage from Miami in October.
Popular spaces on the 2,000-guest ship such as the Commodore Club, Queens Room, Garden Lounge and Pavilion have all been redecorated.
Queen Elizabeth made its maiden voyage from Southampton to the Canary Islands on October 12, 2010, holding a ceremony in the south coast city the day before.
One of Cunard's four iconic Queens, the ship was based at the Port of Southampton from 2010 to 2011 before its home port was transferred to Hamilton in Bermuda.

The Pavilion Wellness Café has also been brought to Queen Elizabeth, focusing on serving breakfast, lunch and daytime dining with a menu that celebrates plant based cuisine.
Guests staying in the exclusive Grills suites will enjoy enhanced interiors and exterior, featuring sumptuous furnishings, sophisticated detailing, and thoughtful design to deliver the ultimate in comfort and style.
The Grills dining experience will also be enhanced by a special menu crafted exclusively for Grills guests by Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux, launching following the ship’s refit.

Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: “As Queen Elizabeth begins this exciting new chapter, we are delighted to offer guests an even more refined experience on board, with beautifully updated spaces that combine classic Cunard style with modern comfort.
"With a full season based in Miami for the first time, more guests from the US and around the world can now experience the Caribbean with Cunard’s unique sense of luxury.
"The region remains a favourite for travellers on both sides of the Atlantic, and we can’t wait to welcome guests on board.”
Queen Elizabeth will begin its debut Alaska season on June 12.
