Cruise ship cabins could be fitted with UK, US or European electric plug sockets. Most cruise lines have at least two varieties but it’s always best to check what type of plug adaptor you’ll need if required before you travel. Newer ships may also have USB sockets in the cabins but older ships are unlikely to.
Cruise ship plug socket varieties:
- UK 2 pin plug
- American 2 pin plug (flat), 110v
- European 2 pin plug (round) 220v
Please see below a summary of popular cruise lines’ plug socket types. For any lines not listed here, please see the individual cruise line’s website.
