When joining one of our ships in the United States, US Immigration requires passengers to provide us with certain immigration details no later than 90 minutes before the ship’s scheduled departure time. Failure to do so will result in denied boarding. This information may be provided to us at check-in so long as this is done no less than 90 minutes prior to departure. We would prefer to have this information in advance and therefore ask you to submit these details on-line by visiting
www.pocruises.co.uk, selecting ‘Cruise Personaliser’.

Canada All British Citizen passport holders will be able to enter Canada without a visa. If you are not in possession of a British Citizen passport, please ensure you check your entry requirements for Canada at

Schengen Visa requirements Non-European passport holders may require a Schengen visa for entry into Continental Europe.

British Citizen passport holders will not need to obtain a Schengen visa.
Vaccinations
At the time of writing the Department of Health does recommend vaccinations for certain countries visited on our cruises. Since these recommendations do change you should check in good time before departure with your GP, or ask your travel agent for a copy of the Department of Health’s leafl et ‘Advice on health for travellers’. Alternatively you can fi nd the location of your nearest MASTA travel medicine clinic at
www.masta.org
Yellow Fever A Yellow Fever vaccination is required for all passengers travelling on Adonia world cruise D202. A valid international Certifi cate of Vaccination must be taken to the ship. This needs to be the original certifi cate which must be fully completed, signed and stamped by a Medical Practitioner. The vaccination must be given at least 10 days before entering a Yellow Fever area in order for it to be effective and valid. If Yellow Fever vaccination is contra-indicated for medical reasons, an exemption letter can be issued by your Medical Practitioner and this must be brought with you to the ship. Local Port Health offi cials will then decide if a vaccination waiver can be waived.
Malaria There is a risk of Malarial transmission in Guyana, Brazil, Honduras, Cambodia, Papua New Guinea and India. We therefore recommend that you seek advice from a Travel Medicine Clinic and, if advised, obtain prophylactic medication before joining your cruise.
Disabilities & mobility
This section relates to all matters involving mobility disabilities and wheelchair and mobility scooter use; sensory and auditory disabilities including blind and/ or deaf persons; and any other disability which may affect your enjoyment of a holiday with us.
Before making a booking, please familiarise yourself with clauses 18-24 of the Booking Conditions in this brochure (see page 261). All passengers requiring specifi c assistance, facilities or equipment on board or wishing to bring such equipment on board must advise P&O Cruises at the time of booking and are required to complete a questionnaire after booking, to ensure we have all the information we need to cater adequately for your requirements. P&O Cruises
welcomes assistance dogs on board each of its ships. In line with DEFRA regulations, assistance dogs may be unable to disembark in ports of call. For further information on the carriage of assistance dogs, please contact us.
You will be pleased to know that all our ships cater for passengers bringing wheelchairs or mobility scooters. With lifts and wheelchair accessible routes to all public rooms and the vast majority of deck areas, as well as a number of cabins adapted for wheelchair users, we aim to make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible. It is strongly recommended that mobility scooter users reserve a wheelchair accessible cabin, as space limitations in most non-adapted cabins make storage and access to scooters problematic. Please note that our wheelchair accessible cabins are strictly reserved for passengers who are bringing mobility scooters which cannot fi t safely into standard cabins or who have a requirement for the adapted facilities offered by these cabins. P&O Cruises reserves the right to require passengers who have booked this accommodation without due reason, to move, at their own expense if necessary, to make room for other passengers who require these facilities. Our wheelchair accessible cabins are built to ADA standards and it is not possible to make any temporary additions or structural changes to these cabins for specifi c passengers.
If you are planning to bring a wheelchair or mobility scooter on board with you, it is essential that you let us know at the time of booking so we can advise you of restrictions on the size and type of wheelchair we accept on board. Any passengers requiring the use of a wheelchair, mobility scooter or walking aid must provide their own. For the safety of all our passengers P&O Cruises has introduced size restrictions for all wheelchairs and mobility scooters (these restrictions do not apply to passengers booked in fully accessible cabins). Mobility scooters must meet the following specifi cations: width – no more than 20 inches (51cm); weight – no more than 45kg total with no component piece weighing more than 23kg when disassembled; and acid batteries are not permitted on board. Please note that for the safety of the ship and everyone on board, all wheelchairs, scooters and other aids to mobility must be stored inside your cabin when you are not using them. Failure to comply with this important safety rule may mean you are disembarked and refused future travel. We also recommend that part-time wheelchair users, who travel in non-adapted cabins, bring a collapsible wheelchair to ensure it can safely fi t through their cabin door and be accommodated in their cabin. P&O Cruises reserves the right to change its policy in relation to any such matters without notice and in such circumstances we will contact affected passengers to make suitable arrangements.
A ship is not always the easiest environment for using a wheelchair or mobility scooter. Although our crew are always very helpful, they are unable to assist you in moving around the ship, or in any personal day- to-day tasks. For this reason, and in order to ensure the safety of the passenger, the ship and all others on board, we require passengers with disabilities,
