Got questions about fly-cruising? Perhaps you’re wondering how many bags you can bring on a fly-cruise or which airlines we fly with? Find answers to these and many more questions on our Help Hub.

Yes, both flights and transfers are included in the price of your holiday. However, the airport you’re allocated varies depending on what cruise you’ve booked. If you wish to change the airport you’ll be flying from, a supplement may apply.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Please note: pre-booking seats via our Flight Seat Booker tool on&nbsp;<a href="https://prod.author.carnivalukgroup.com/content/po/master_website/en_GB/mycruise.html">My P&amp;O Cruises</a>&nbsp;will incur additional charges.

Are flights included in the cruise price?

If you choose to make your own travel arrangements to join your ship, any flights you take will not form part of the package provided by us and will not be covered by our ATOL protection. You will also need to ensure that you leave sufficient time in your itinerary to reach the cruise terminal by the check-in time stated on your e-ticket as our transfers will not be included.

Can I make my own travel arrangements?

Choose your preferred seat on selected Caribbean and Mediterranean charter flights via our Flight Seat Booker tool on&nbsp;<a href="https://prod.author.carnivalukgroup.com/content/po/master_website/en_GB/mycruise.html">My P&amp;O Cruises</a>. (additional charges apply).
&nbsp;
Seats on scheduled flights can usually be purchased through the airline’s own website. Some airlines require tickets to be issued before they allow you to pre-book seats, in which case payment for your flight may be required in advance and will be non-refundable.
&nbsp;
Call our Customer Contact Centre or your travel agent for more information. Alternatively most airlines allow you to check-in online 24 hours prior to departure, at which time seat reservations are usually free of charge, though this does vary by airline.
&nbsp;
For more information, please read our help hub article:&nbsp;<a title="Select flight seats help hub article" href="https://www.pocruises.com/help-hub/centre/flights/select-my-flight-seats">How do I select my flight seats?</a>

How do I upgrade my flight?

Most of the time, yes. However, if for some reason your flight is unable to meet the cruise ship, we’ll let you know and overnight accommodation will be included in your holiday. We’ll take care of everything so that you don’t have to.&nbsp;

Is it safe to fly the day of the cruise?

This depends on your destination and whether you’re travelling on a chartered or a scheduled flight. Not sure which one applies to you? You can find out more in our Help Hub article about flight types:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pocruises.com/help-hub/centre/flights/flight-types">here</a>
&nbsp;
Chartered flights
&nbsp;
On selected Caribbean chartered flights, we’re pleased to offer our seamless service known as ‘bonded baggage.’ Once you’ve dropped your luggage off at the airport, you won’t see it again until it’s outside your cabin. Just make sure all your bags have the P&amp;O Cruises luggage label attached&nbsp;before&nbsp;you check in at the airport and we’ll do the rest.
&nbsp;
Please also ensure you have sufficient items in your hand luggage for arrival into Barbados / Antigua (for example, medication or a fresh set of clothes), as luggage may not be delivered to your cabin until late in the evening.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Scheduled flights
&nbsp;
Scheduled flights are a little different but our representatives will be on hand to make sure the process is just as seamless for you. After arriving at your destination, you’ll need to pass through immigration, collect your luggage from Baggage Reclaim then head to Arrivals. If you booked your flight through P&amp;O Cruises and are arriving on the day of sailing (or you’ve booked a hotel through us) one of our representatives will meet you and give you instructions on joining your coach transfer to the cruise terminal.
&nbsp;
If you’ve arranged your own flights or are planning to get to your starting destination a few days before you sail, then you’ll need to organise your own transport to the cruise terminal.
&nbsp;
Baggage arrangements for your flight back to the UK will be confirmed during your cruise. Your baggage is collected from outside your cabin the night before you disembark.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Luggage weight&nbsp;
&nbsp;
On fly-cruises, both the charter and scheduled flight luggage restrictions vary, but are usually between 20kg and 23kg per person. Log in to&nbsp;<a title="Log in to the My P&amp;O Cruises portal" href="https://my.pocruises.com/mycruise">My P&amp;O Cruises</a>&nbsp;and visit the Flights page to view your air carrier baggage allowances. Please note: even if your airline allowance is greater than 23kg, we ask that no individual item of luggage weighs more than 23kg, in order to be safely handled by the ship’s crew and airline baggage handlers.
&nbsp;

Each of our ships has a unique selection of things to do, but all of them offer fantastic venues for eating and drinking, swimming pools, spectacular shows, a spa and salon, a gym and sports court, live music and comedy, a cinema, a casino, places to dance, fitness and well-being classes, shops, an art gallery and so much more. Our family-friendly ships all include children’s clubs with zones for different age groups. And if you look in more detail, you’ll notice the individual features that each ship has. For example, Arvia has an outdoor activity zone, Arcadia has Marco Pierre White’s Ocean Grill and Britannia has the buzzing Live Lounge venue.

What can you do on a P&O Cruises ship?

The short answer is: almost everywhere in the world! From the Mediterranean, Canary Islands and the Caribbean to the Norwegian Fjords, USA and Canada, you can choose from a variety of exciting regions. We offer Short Breaks to captivating European destinations as well as holidays taking in the best of the British Isles. And, of course, we have World Cruises for the ultimate adventure.

Where do P&O Cruises ships go?

Southampton is our home port and all our holidays that start in the UK sail from here. We also offer fly-cruises, though, so you might jet to a sunny destination such as Barbados, Valletta, Sydney, Tenerife or Dubai and set sail on your adventure from there.

Where do P&O Cruises ships sail from?

Our newest ships, Arvia and Iona, are the largest in our fleet. At 344 metres long, each of these family-friendly Excel class ships has 15 guest decks and a normal operating capacity of 5,200 guests and 1,800 crew. Of course, the bigger the ship, the more there is to experience. Both Arvia and Iona boast over 30 places to eat and drink, six theatre/lounge venues and five pools – and that’s just a hint of all the entertainment and relaxation available on board.

Which is the largest P&O Cruises ship?

Aurora is our smallest ship and has a suitably intimate feel. With lots of holidays exclusively for adults, she’s 270 metres long and has nine guest decks and a normal operating capacity of 1,874 guests and 850 crew. Some people believe the best things come in small packages, so it makes sense that Aurora has many loyal guests who return time and again to enjoy her classic cruising atmosphere. Her size also means she can visit some destinations that larger ships can’t. And with 18 places to eat and drink, three theatre/lounge venues and three pools, she offers plenty of choice in dining, entertainment and relaxation.

Which is the smallest P&O Cruises ship?

Arcadia and Aurora are our two ships that offer lots of holidays exclusively for adults.

Which P&O Cruises ships are adult only?

Arvia, Iona, Britannia, Azura and Ventura are our dedicated family-friendly ships. Each one is packed with a huge variety of dining, entertainment, activities and relaxation options for all ages. Arcadia and Aurora also welcome guests of all ages on some selected holidays.
