 If you're unsure about cancelling, consider a transfer instead. This way, you can keep your holiday dreams alive and find the perfect P&O Cruises adventure for another time. For more detail, please see our article Can I transfer my cruise?.

 

How to cancel if you’ve booked directly with P&O Cruises

To cancel, the lead guest on the booking will need to call us as this isn't possible to do online. 

Call our friendly Customer Contact Centre on 0344 338 8003 (local call charges apply). You’ll find our opening hours here.

Our advisors will explain the cancellation policy details based on your specific circumstances, so please have the following information to hand:

  • Your booking reference
  • Full name
  • Date of birth
  • Address 
  • Contact details, such as your email address

How to cancel if you’ve booked through a travel agent

Please contact them if you need to cancel or make any other changes.

Can I cancel my cruise holiday and get my money back?

A cancellation charge might apply, depending on the price type (Select Price, Early Saver or Saver) and the date you cancel.

For full details about cancellation charges, please visit our Booking Terms & Conditions.

Check your insurance policy

It may be possible to reclaim these cancellation charges (less any applicable excess) under the terms of your own insurance policy. You’ll need to get in touch with your insurer to make a claim.
