Are there designated smoking areas onboard?


In the interest of the health, safety and enjoyment of all of our guests, smoking is not permitted indoors on any of our P&O Cruises' ships, including in guest rooms and balconies. This includes the use of any electronic cigarettes or vapes, which can only be used in the designated smoking areas.

Each ship has designated outdoor smoking areas, which are signposted and listed in the Good Times newsletter onboard.
Please note that these locations are subject to change.
