  3. P&O Specific Vaccine and Testing Policy - effective 29th April 2022

P&O Specific Vaccine and Testing Policy - effective 29th April 2022

Following evolving guidance and vaccination entry requirements from both the countries P&O Cruises visit and local authorities in their ports of call, and to protect the health and well-being of guests, crew and the communities visited, P&O Cruises have extended their vaccination policy to include all cruises currently on sale. This policy will be reviewed on a regular basis as the global situation continues to evolve.

  • What is the latest vaccine and testing policy?
  • What is the definition of fully vaccinated?
  • Which cruises does the vaccination policy apply to?
  • Will the vaccine and testing policy change again?
  • Can I no longer travel with P&O Cruises as I do not meet the vaccine requirements?
  • What happens if my child isn’t vaccinated?
  • I am not vaccinated so cannot travel, what are my options?
  • Why are you extending the vaccine policy? Is this discrimination?
  • I used my Future Cruise Credit (FCC) to pay for my holiday and now don’t meet the vaccination requirements. Can I cancel and have my FCC refunded?
  • Can I have my Future Cruise Credit (FCC) in my account refunded as I don’t meet the vaccination requirements?
  • Can I gift my FCC to someone else as I don’t meet the vaccination requirements to travel?
  • Can I get a full refund as I don’t meet the vaccination requirements?
  • Can I cancel if one of my group doesn’t meet the vaccination requirements?
  • Why has testing been removed from Southampton for guests aged 12 years and over?
  • Where can I get my COVID-19 antigen test from?
  • What happens if I am unable to get my test results before my cruise?
  • Do these vaccine and testing requirements match the requirements of every port we could visit?
  • I currently cannot get my child vaccinated as we have to wait to be called for this. This is not my fault. Will you make an exception for me?
  • Why are you changing this so close to the departure of my cruise?
  • What will happen if the government recommend a 4th vaccine/ another booster jab?
  • A lot of countries are relaxing their COVID-19 restrictions. Why are you increasing your requirements unnecessarily?
  • I am not and never will be fully vaccinated, but I have compensation from a previous cruise (FCC/OBC/gift awarded by Guest Support) – can I receive this as cash settlement instead?
  • Will Cunard follow suit?
