P&O Cruises luggage allowance policy and restrictions

According to the P&O alcohol policy, alcohol is not permitted on board. The alcohol bought on ports, excursions or on the duty-free shop onboard will be placed under custody until the end of the journey. On the embarkment day, each passenger, aged 18 or older, is allowed to bring one bottle of wine, champagne, beer, spirits or liqueur up to one litre subjected to a £20 corkage charge when consumed in open spaces.

The P&O Cruise luggage rules allow each passenger to board with a maximum of 12 non-alcoholic canned drinks, loosely stored in a bag or suitcase. Plastic and glass-bottled liquids, tetra pack drinks and other beverages are prohibited.

The 23kg limit is established to make sure the crew can safely handle your luggage. If your suitcases or bags are over the P&O cruise luggage allowance weight limit, you may be asked to repack or remove some items. If the luggage is still too heavy, there is the possibility that it will not be loaded to the ship. If this is the case, you can have your luggage delivered back home or send it to your next destination with Eurosender.

All suitcases and carry-on bags go under inspection and X rays before they are loaded into the ship. If you are travelling with forbidden luggage items on P&O cruises, they will be seized and will not be loaded on the ship.

Certain personal electric devices such as hair straighteners, curling irons, shavers, laptops, laptop chargers, camera chargers, etc. are allowed on board. Please note both luggage and carry-on on P&O cruises will be scanned, and the crew may seize any items they find dangerous.

Following the P&O cruises pet policy, no animals are allowed on board. The only exception is assistance dogs, that must travel with the proper documents, such as an Assistance Dogs ID book (for the UK). If you are interested in bringing an assistance or guide dog with you, we recommend you contact the cruise line before boarding to make sure all is in order.

The P&O luggage allowance for fly cruises depends on the airlines’ luggage policy, which is likely to be way more restricting than the P&O cruise line luggage rules. You can ship your luggage through Eurosender and have your suitcases moved directly to the embarking point. If you are taking a flight back from your final port destination, you can book a courier service to have your luggage shipped back to your home. Why not choose Eurosender? Our potent search engine will compare hundreds of routes and find the most suitable option for your shipment. Our logistics experts will work hard to ensure your luggage reaches its destination safely and on time.

If you have booked a fly cruise but would like to enjoy the P&O Cruises luggage allowance to the maximum, you can send your suitcases directly to the port. Make sure there will be somebody there to collect your luggage. Most airline’s policies are more severe than the P&O luggage restrictions, so shipping a piece of extra luggage can save you time and money.

Although the smartphone is no longer on the forbidden luggage items list for P&O Cruises in the UK, the Australian routes still advise against carrying it. If you want to bring this model with you, it must be turned off and without charge the device has to be kept close to the owner and must be in the carry-on luggage.
