Luggage 

All luggage will be security screened by an x-ray machine at embarkation.

P&O Cruises recommends no more than 2 bags per person within the size limits of 140cm x 60cm x 40cm weighing no more than 32kg and all luggage must be stowed in your passenger cabin. Bags weighing more than 32kg per piece will not be loaded. Please remember to clearly write your cabin number, name, address and telephone number on the luggage tags provided in your ticket wallet and attach these to your baggage prior to arriving at the wharf.

Cabins are normally allocated approximately 5 to 7 days prior to sailing. You can find out your cabin number by logging onto Cruise Personaliser. Alternatively, P&O Cruises staff will advise your cabin number when you check-in on the day of sailing.

If you are flying to or from the ship on P&O Cruises nominated flights on the day of sailing, it is vital that every item of luggage has a P&O Cruises identification label on it to assist us in transporting your entire luggage to and from the ship. Airline luggage restrictions apply if you purchase P&O Cruises airfare add-ons.

Aviation Security Measures for Carry-on Baggage at International Airports 

To increase your safety, there are new rules for taking liquids, aerosols and gels on flights into and out of Australia. These rules also apply when transiting on international flights within Australia.

These rules are necessary to protect you from the threat of liquid explosives.

Each container of liquids, aerosols or gels in your carry-on baggage must be 100 millilitres/grams or less. All the containers must be sealed in a transparent, one-litre plastic bag. You are only allowed one plastic bag per person. For more information on clear resealable bags, please see the frequently asked questions section of the website listed below. 

You may carry prescription medicines on board. Baby products and non-prescription medicines that you need for the flight are also allowed. Proof of need may be required.

When you get to the screening point, you will have to surrender any liquids, aerosols or gels greater than 100ml/g that you still have with you, including duty free items. Random frisk searches are part of the screening process.
