Booking Conditions
during the 14 days prior to embarkation, or at any time during the cruise must report such symptoms and follow the guidance provided by P&O Cruises, the relevant port authorities or any other national or international authority. In the interests of health and safety P&O Cruises may deny boarding to any Guest who has symptoms of any viral or bacterial illness including but not limited to Norovirus or Coronavirus (COVID-19) and/or any Guest who does not comply with an instruction from a member of the ship’s crew or port representative or a representative of any national or international authority designed or intended to prevent or limit the spread of any bacterial or viral infection. Refusal by a Guest to complete the relevant pre-boarding questionnaire or comply with any health screening measure requested by P&O Cruises, the relevant port authorities or any other national or international authority may in itself result in denied boarding. All cases of denied boarding will be treated as a cancellation attracting 100% cancellation charges in accordance with clause 38. 23. In the event that a Guest is diagnosed with any viral and/or bacterial illness whilst on board or if, in the opinion of P&O Cruises and/or the Master and/or a member of the ship’s medical staff a Guest displays any symptoms of a viral or bacterial illness (including, but not limited to, Coronavirus (COVID-19)) that Guest, any accompanying Guest and any other Guest who, in the opinion of any of P&O Cruises and/or the Master and/or a member of the ship’s medical staff has been in close contact with that Guest may be required to remain in his or her cabin for reasons of health and safety. In the event that any Guest refuses to remain in their cabin during the period recommended by P&O Cruises, the Master or the ship’s medical staff, or if any Guest does not comply with any measures in place, or any instruction from a member of the ship’s crew designed or intended to prevent or limit the spread of any bacterial or viral infection (including any instruction given by a local operator during a shore experience) then that Guest may for reasons of health and safety be required to remain in the medical centre or be disembarked (or refused permission to embark or disembark) by P&O Cruises without any further liability. In addition, any Guest who, in the opinion of P&O Cruises and/or the Master and/or a member of the ship’s medical staff, demonstrates the symptoms of a viral illness (including but not limited to Coronavirus (COVID-19)) may be disembarked by P&O Cruises without any further liability. 24. In order to ensure that Guests are carried in accordance with applicable safety requirements Guests are required to notify P&O Cruises at the time of booking: (i) o f their specific needs with regard to accommodation, seating or services required and/or whether they need to bring any specific medical equipment on board;
P&O Cruises cannot accept a booking or subsequently carry a Guest unless they comply with the requirements of this clause. In the case of a booking by or on behalf of a pregnant Guest made before it could reasonably have been known that the Guest would not be able to join the Package by reason of the Guest entering their 24th week of pregnancy or beyond at any point in their Package, P&O Cruises will refund in full the price paid by or on behalf of that Guest and the price paid by any accompanying Guest, provided that the pregnant Guest notified P&O Cruises as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware that she would not be able to join the Package, but shall otherwise have no liability whatsoever. P&O Cruises expressly reserves the right to refuse passage on board to any Guest who appears to be in an advanced state of pregnancy and P&O Cruises shall have no liability whatsoever in respect of either such refusal and/or the carriage of any such Guest. 27. Pregnant Guests are referred to clauses 29–31 headed “Medical Treatment” for information regarding the medical facilities on board. 28. The ship’s doctor is not qualified to deliver babies or to offer pre- or post-natal treatment and no responsibility is accepted by P&O Cruises in respect of the inability to provide such services or equipment. MEDICAL TREATMENT 29. The Guest acknowledges that whilst there is a qualified doctor on board it is the Guest’s obligation and responsibility to seek medical assistance if necessary during the Cruise. 30. The ship’s doctor is not a specialist and the ship’s medical centre is not required to be and is not equipped to the same standards as a land based hospital. The ship’s medical centre is not designed for the provision of extensive or continuing treatment. The ship carries medical supplies and equipment in accordance with the requirements of its flag state. Neither P&O Cruises nor the ship’s doctor shall be liable to the Guest as a result of any inability to treat any medical condition as a result. Charges will apply for services and medications dispensed by the ship’s medical centre. 31. In the event of illness or injury a Guest may have to be landed ashore for medical treatment. No representations are made regarding the quality of medical treatment at any port of call or at the place at which the Guest is landed. Medical facilities do vary from port to port and no representations or warranties are made in relation to the standard of medical treatment provided by the various hospitals and/or clinics. INSURANCE 32. It is a condition of the Contract that every Guest must have adequate and appropriate insurance. This must include cover for travel, cancellation and curtailment and full and valid medical cover for pre-existing medical conditions worldwide, or as a minimum, in the countries that the Guest is due to visit and which must remain in force for the entire duration of the Package. The insurance policy(ies) must, as a minimum, include medical and repatriation coverage for not less than £2 million and must include cover for the cost of emergency evacuations from the ship, including but not limited to, evacuations by helicopter. It is the Guest’s responsibility to ensure that adequate and appropriate insurance is in place for the entire duration of the package. 33. Wherever possible, P&O Cruises will offer general assistance to any Guest who suffers illness, personal injury or death during the period of the Package, whether or not arising from an activity forming part of the Package and whether or not the result of fault by any party. 34. Any cost or expense which is reasonably incurred by P&O Cruises for or on behalf of the Guest in respect of any form of medical, dental or similar treatment, hotel, transportation, repatriation or any other expense shall be repayable by the Guest to P&O Cruises, whether or not such sum is covered by the Guest’s travel insurance. P&O Cruises reserves the right to take any action that it considers appropriate to recover any such cost or expense. PRICES AND EXTRAS 35. P&O Cruises reserves the right to vary particulars and prices shown in the brochure after the date of publication. Prices, discounts, supplements and special offers advertised in the brochure or elsewhere may be withdrawn or changed. Prices may go up or down. Guests should contact their travel agent for up-to-date prices and charges before booking, call us or visit our website: pocruises.com . 36. P&O Cruises reserves the right to vary prices up or down at any time up to 20 days before departure to allow for variations in the price of your Package due to changes in transportation costs such as fuel and other power sources, scheduled air fares and other airline cost changes which are part of the contract between the airline (and their agents) and P&O Cruises, government action such as changes in VAT or any other government imposed changes and currency changes in relation to an exchange rate variation, the level of taxes or fees on the Travel Services included in the Package imposed by third parties not directly involved in the performance of the Package, including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports. In the case of any small variation, an amount equivalent to 2 per cent of the fare for your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges, will be absorbed for increases but not retained from refunds. For larger variations this 2 per cent will still be absorbed for increases but not retained from refunds. If this means the Guest has to pay an increase of more than 8 per cent of the price of the Package, the Guest may cancel the Contract and receive a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges or insurance premiums. No consequential costs or expenses or loss of profits will be payable. P&O Cruises will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if the Guest can show that he/she was unable to transfer or re-use the policy. Should the Guest decide to
cancel for this reason, the Guest must exercise his/her right to do so within 14 days from the time P&O Cruises has notified the Guest of the proposed changes. Failure of the Guest to notify P&O Cruises of whether the Guest wishes to accept the proposed changes or terminate the contract may result in P&O Cruises terminating the contract and refunding all payments made by the Guest. P&O Cruises shall refund all payments due to the Guest no later than 14 days after the Contract is terminated. Alternatively, the Guest can accept an offer of an alternative Package if P&O Cruises is able to provide an alternative and transfer payment made in respect of the original Package to the alternative Package. If the cost of the alternative Package is less than the original Package the difference in price will be refundable. Please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your Package due to contractual and other protection in place. 37. A payment card will be required to be registered at check in, in order to set up an account for on-board purchases, and a cruise card will be issued for this account. An initial pre-authorisation of £50 will be required at check in and thereafter any on-board purchases made by the Guest using their cruise card which exceed this initial amount are accepted by the Guest as being in an amount which is both exact and approved for the purposes of a further blocking of funds on the registered payment card. All accounts for on-board services and goods and for shore experiences must be settled in full before the Guest leaves the ship. In the event that a Guest fails to settle their on-board account at or before the completion of the Cruise, P&O Cruises reserves the right to charge interest on the outstanding sums until the date of actual payment and shall be entitled to make a reasonable administration charge for the subsequent collection of such sum due in addition to any costs of legal process. P&O Cruises also reserves the right to cancel any future bookings that the Guest may have and to set off any sums owed to P&O Cruises by the Guest against any sums due to the Guest from P&O Cruises, without prejudice to any other remedies P&O Cruises may have under these Conditions or otherwise. CANCELLATION BY THE GUEST 38. The Guest has the right to cancel the Contract prior to commencement of the Package without paying any cancellation charge in the event of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (as defined in clause 1) significantly affecting the performance of the Contract. In such circumstances the Guest shall be entitled to a full refund of all monies paid, but shall not be entitled to additional compensation. The Guest may cancel the Contract at any time prior to the commencement of the Package via their travel agent or, for Guests who have booked direct, by calling our Customer Contact Centre, but if the cancellation is not as a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances significantly affecting the performance of the Contract, in that event P&O Cruises shall be entitled to levy a cancellation charge as a percentage of the price paid in accordance with the below scales. For the avoidance of doubt, circumstances which prevent the Guest from travelling on their holiday (rather than circumstances which prevent P&O Cruises from performing the Package) do not give the Guest the right to a full refund and cancellation charges will apply. Such circumstances may include, but are not limited to, any international, national or local measures in place in either the Guest’s home or area or any country or countries which form part of the itinerary. A requirement that the Guest may need to self-isolate or enter any form of quarantine on their return home does not entitle the Guest to cancel the Contract without paying cancellation charges. Advice against travel to any country or countries in the itinerary issued by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (or any other public body) does not entitle the Guest to cancel the Contract without paying cancellation charges. The Guest should ensure that their travel insurance provides sufficient cover for such eventualities as required by clause 32 above.
These are the terms and conditions which will apply to your holiday. Please read them carefully as you will be bound by them. These Booking Conditions are correct at time of going to print.

THE CONTRACT 2. The Contract shall be between P&O Cruises and the Guest on the basis of these Conditions and the information contained in the P&O Cruises brochure or website, and shall be governed by English law and the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. The combination of Travel Services offered to you under the Contract is a package within the meaning of The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulation 2018. Therefore, you will benefit from all UK rights applying to packages. P&O Cruises will be fully responsible for the proper performance of the Package as a whole. Additionally, as required by law, P&O Cruises has protection in place to refund your payments and, where transport is included in the Package, to ensure your repatriation in the event that it becomes insolvent. 3. By making a booking, the Guest confirms that all persons named in the booking including Minors and persons under disability (and their personal representatives) have agreed to be bound by these Conditions and all other terms of the Contract, and that he/she has their authority to do so on their behalf and that all details provided for all Guests named in the booking are correct. When a Guest makes a booking on behalf of other Guests, P&O Cruises shall collect details for all Guests named in the booking from the Guest making the booking and will communicate with the Guest making the booking using the contact details provided, rather than each individual Guest in the group. 4. All Packages are subject to availability at the time of booking. No Contract shall be made until the deposit (or, where appropriate, the full price) has been paid, whether or not a booking confirmation has been issued, but all money paid to a travel agent shall be treated as having been paid to P&O Cruises. Failure to pay the balance by the due date shall entitle P&O Cruises to cancel the booking and retain the deposit by way of a cancellation charge. Failure to pay any other amount by the due date shall entitle P&O Cruises to cancel the booking and to retain an amount by way of a cancellation charge as set out in clause 38.
17. After a Package has been booked, P&O Cruises will try to accommodate any request for a change, but such changes are always at P&O Cruises’ discretion and may be subject to an administration charge of £20. Guests who have booked a Saver shall not be entitled to make changes to their Package and the provisions of this clause 17 shall not apply. FITNESS TO TRAVEL AND PASSENGERS WITH DISABILITIES AND/OR REDUCED MOBILITY 18. In order to ensure that P&O Cruises is able to carry Guests safely and in accordance with applicable safety requirements established by international, EU or national law or in order to meet safety requirements established by competent authorities including the ship’s flag state, the Guest making the booking represents that all Guests in the booking are fit to travel. 19. At the time of booking every Guest is obliged to inform P&O Cruises of any condition, including but not limited to reduced mobility or any Disability of any Guest travelling in the booking, which may require special arrangements, medical equipment/ supplies, care or assistance. This is to ensure that the Guest can be carried safely and in accordance with all applicable safety requirements and for P&O Cruises to consider whether the Package is generally suitable for the person with reduced mobility or any Disability. If P&O Cruises considers that the Package is not suitable for the person with reduced mobility or any Disability or if the Guest cannot be carried safely and in accordance with applicable safety requirements then P&O Cruises can refuse to accept a booking or to subsequently embark that Guest on the grounds of safety. Such a refusal will be based on an assessment of risk by P&O Cruises to take into account the provisions of national law and other applicable legislation and international regulations including the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention and the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea. It is important that the fullest information is provided by the Guest at the time of booking. If a Guest’s circumstances change between the date of booking the Package and the date of commencement of the Package, which may make the carriage of that Guest unsafe or which may affect the suitability of the Package for the Guest, the Guest is obliged to inform P&O Cruises as soon as possible and to advise P&O Cruises of any requirements for special arrangements, medical equipment/ supplies, care or assistance in order for P&O Cruises to make an informed decision as to whether the Guest can be carried safely and/or to assess the suitability of the Package for the Guest. 20. P&O Cruises reserves the right to require any Guest to produce medical evidence of fitness to travel on the Package in order to assess whether that Guest can be carried safely in accordance with applicable international, EU or national law. Where P&O Cruises considers that it is strictly necessary P&O Cruises may require a Guest with reduced mobility or any Disability to be accompanied by another person who is fit and able to assist them in day to day tasks and capable of providing the assistance required by the Guest with reduced mobility or any Disability. This requirement will be based entirely on safety grounds and may vary from ship to ship and/or itinerary to itinerary. Examples of Guests who may fall into this category include Guests who use wheelchairs or mobility scooters (the term ‘wheelchair’ shall hereinafter be used to refer to wheelchairs and mobility scooters collectively) or who require assistance with personal care. The assessment of whether or not it is strictly necessary for a Guest to be accompanied will be based on information provided at the time of booking. Guests are requested to provide as much information as possible to enable a full risk assessment to be made. Guests may be asked to provide further information to ensure that P&O Cruises has all relevant information. 21. In order to ensure that P&O Cruises can provide the necessary assistance and there are no issues relating to the design of the ship or port infrastructure and equipment, including port terminals, which may make it impossible to carry out the embarkation, disembarkation or carriage of the Guest in a safe or operationally feasible manner, Guests who may require special treatment or assistance or with reduced mobility or Disabilities (including Guests who use wheelchairs) must advise P&O Cruises at the time of booking. Guests who use wheelchairs must furnish their own standard size wheelchairs. Ships’ wheelchairs are available for emergency use only. For the safety of the ship and all guests on board, all wheelchairs and other aids to mobility must be stored in the Guest’s cabin when they are not being used and in order to ensure that this is possible, and to so ensure the safety of the ship and all Guests on board, P&O Cruises reserves the right to require that Guests who use wheelchairs book a specified category of cabin. Further information is contained on the P&O Cruises website. P&O Cruises reserves the right to refuse passage to any Guest who has failed to notify P&O Cruises of their requirement for special treatment or assistance or of reduced mobility or Disabilities (including the requirement to use a wheelchair). The cost for loss or damage to mobility equipment caused by the fault or neglect of P&O Cruises or a shipping incident is subject to P&O Cruises’ absolute discretion to either repair or replace the equipment. Except where P&O Cruises agrees otherwise and in writing at the time of booking Guests are restricted to having on board the ship, two pieces of mobility or other medical equipment with a combined value not exceeding £2,250 per cabin. 22. P&O Cruises and/or the relevant port authorities shall be entitled to administer a Public Health Questionnaire or any other form of health screening at any time prior to boarding or during the Package. All Guests agree to complete the pre-boarding questionnaire, to comply with any health screening and to supply accurate information regarding any symptoms of illness including but not limited to gastro-intestinal illness, bacterial and/or viral illness and/or Coronavirus (COVID-19). Any Guest who is unwell and experiencing a high temperature, a new continuous cough or a loss of, or change, in normal sense of taste or smell, either
5. A Guest shall not have the right to exclusive occupancy of a cabin with two or more berths unless the single person supplement is paid. If a cancellation results in a Guest becoming the sole occupant of a cabin with two or more berths, he/she shall be liable to pay the single person supplement. If a cancellation reduces the number of Guests originally booked in a cabin together, the remaining Guests shall each be liable to pay any increase in the price arising as a result of such reduction. In the event that all Guests who are booked in a cabin permanently disembark the ship before the end of the Cruise, then the cabin will revert to P&O Cruises’ inventory. 6. For Packages including any flights to or from the UK (and if not already confirmed at the time of booking), P&O Cruises will issue an ATOL confirmation invoice giving the details of the flight arrangements (including UK and destination airports) within a reasonable time after such arrangements are known. 7. Shore experiences are available for separate purchase prior to travel or on board and are arranged by P&O Cruises with local operators. They do not form part of the Contract and are not performed by P&O Cruises. 8. A booking may only be made by a person aged 18 or over. All Guests who, at the time of departure, will be under 18 years old must be accompanied by a Guest aged 18 or over who will at all times during the Package be responsible for their welfare, conduct and behaviour. Guests under 16 years old are not permitted to travel in a cabin without an accompanying Guest who is 16 years old or over. Guests under 16 years old are not permitted to disembark the ship in any port without a Guest who is accompanying them on the Package in accordance with this clause. 9. Children aged 6 months or less at the commencement of the Package will be refused permission to board the ship and P&O Cruises shall have no liability whatsoever for any consequences of such refusal. Certain Packages also have prohibitions on children aged 12 months or less. Guests should check with P&O Cruises before booking. 10. Guests are responsible for ensuring that they arrive in plenty of time for check in for flights to/from the ship including any interconnecting flights. Guests are responsible for checking with regard to any delay/cancellation of flights. Guests must ensure that they have a valid passport and any other necessary travel documents (such as visas) for their Package and should read the relevant section of the P&O Cruises website before booking. P&O Cruises is not responsible for obtaining visas for any Guest; this is the responsibility of the individual Guest. 11. P&O Cruises may incur a fine if the Guest fails to comply with all relevant visa or documentation requirements for their Package. P&O Cruises will re-charge any such fines to the Guest. AMENDMENTS TO THE CONTRACT 12. In clauses 12, 13 and 14, “another person” means another person who can comply with all conditions applicable to the Package. A Package may be transferred to another person provided that the Guest consults with P&O Cruises prior to purporting to transfer the Package and P&O Cruises receives in writing the transfer request at least 7 days before the scheduled departure date. Where P&O Cruises agrees to the transfer, both the Guest and the substituted Guest shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of any balance of the price due and for any reasonable additional fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer. In the case of Guests booked under an Early Saver or Saver, all transfers of a Package to another person under this clause 12 will be subject to an administration charge of £20. Guests who have booked a Select Price will not be required to pay an administration charge. 13. Any transfer of a Package to another person will be subject to payment of all charges incurred in connection with the transfer (for example hotel amendment charges) and any transfer of a Package including any flights will also be subject to any charges imposed by the airline. Guests should note that airlines may not allow transfers on scheduled flights and that a flight booking may have to be cancelled and rebooked, in which event the re-booking will always be subject to flight availability and to payment of any charges imposed by the airline which may, in some cases, be the full cost of the ticket. 14. Any request for a transfer of a Package to another person which is received by P&O Cruises less than 7 days before the scheduled departure date shall be treated as a cancellation by the Guest of the Contract and a cancellation charge under clause 38 shall become payable. 15. If a Guest wishes to transfer to another Package, this will generally be treated as a cancellation under clause 38. P&O Cruises will allow the transfer without treating it as a cancellation if the P&O Cruises holiday to which the transfer is to be made departs within 12 months (within 6 months in the case of transfer from a World Cruise, Classic Southern Hemisphere Journey, Grand Tour or Exotic Fly-cruise) of the original and is for a higher price. Agreement to transfer a Package would also be conditional upon such a request being made more than 90 days before the original scheduled departure date; there being availability; and to payment of any expenses (such as airline and/or hotel charges) incurred by P&O Cruises as a result. Such a transfer would only be allowed on one occasion. The criteria for allowing transfers may be changed by P&O Cruises at any time without notice. Guests who have booked an Early Saver or a Saver shall not be entitled to transfer to another Package and the provisions of this clause 15 shall not apply. 16. All transfers to another Package pursuant to clause 15 will be treated as a new booking. Any discount or promotion applicable to the original booking may not apply to the new booking, in which case the Guest shall be required to pay any difference in price.
(ii) o f the nature of any assistance required from P&O Cruises or any terminal operator;
(iii) if the Guest wishes to bring a recognised assistance dog on board the ship. Assistance dogs are subject to national regulations. There is also a limit to the number of dogs which can be carried on board. It is therefore imperative that the requirement is notified at the time of booking.
(iv) of any other assistance which is required on board.
Please note that the medical facilities on board P&O Cruises’ ships are NOT equipped to perform dialysis. The shipboard doctors are not trained to provide dialysis treatments but are able to assist in emergency situations. It is the responsibility of the Guest to provide all dialysis equipment and treatment. This includes antibiotics. A risk assessment shall be carried out at the time of booking to ensure that the Guest can be carried safely and in accordance with applicable laws. The electrical supply on board P&O Cruises’ ships varies but may not be the same as the standard electrical supply in the UK. Guests should contact P&O Cruises for specific details. It is important that any Guest who will be bringing electrical medical equipment on board the ship contacts the manufacturer or supplier to ensure that the equipment is safe to use on board the ship. In relation to medical equipment there are limited storage facilities on board. It is the responsibility of the Guest to arrange delivery of all medical equipment to the ship prior to departure. The requirement for Guests to notify P&O Cruises prior to booking if they need to have medical equipment on board is to ensure that the medical equipment can be carried and/or carried safely. There are restrictions on the number of oxygen cylinders which can be carried in cabins. The ship’s medical centre cannot refill or supply oxygen cylinders. It is the Guest’s responsibility to ensure that all medical equipment is in good working order and for arranging enough equipment and supplies for the duration of the Package. The ship does not carry any replacement equipment and access to shore side care and equipment may be difficult and expensive. Guests must be able to operate all medical equipment. If there are any particular medical conditions which require supervision then such supervision must be organised by the Guest and at the Guest’s expense. The ships do not provide one-to-one or other carers for physical or psychiatric or other conditions. The ships do not offer respite services. Guests must note that not all medical equipment can be carried or used on board aircraft. Guests must check with the airline prior to carriage. PREGNANCY 25. P&O Cruises recommends that women who are less than 12 weeks pregnant should seek medical advice prior to travel. 26. P&O Cruises does not have on board its ships adequate medical facilities for childbirth. Accordingly for reasons of health and safety P&O Cruises regrets that it cannot carry Guests who will have entered their 24th week of pregnancy or beyond at any point during their Package. All pregnant women are required to produce a doctor’s or midwife’s letter stating that mother and baby are in good health, fit to travel taking into account the proposed itinerary and that the pregnancy is not high-risk. The letter must also include the estimated date of delivery (EDD) calculated from both the last menstrual period (LMP) and ultrasound (if performed).
