Flights
All fl ights – please note a) Airlines reserve the right to refuse travel on medical grounds. You must notify us of any medical conditions or other requirements for airport assistance (only available after check- in) or special arrangements on your fl ight. You may be required to provide additional information to the airline in order that they can assess your fi tness to fl y. Several airlines are unable to carry passengers who require oxygen during part or all of the fl ight. If you do have this requirement then advance arrangements need to be made at additional cost.
b) If you have any special dietary requirements including child meal requests, please advise us at the time of booking or at least 7 days prior to travel. We are unable to guarantee that all requests can be met.
c) Only fully fi t and mobile passengers may occupy exit row seats. These seats may therefore only ever be assigned at the discretion of the airline at check-in.
d) Due to the confi guration of the aircraft, it may not always be possible to obtain seats together.
e) All fl ights are non-smoking. f) All fl ight times, air carriers and fl ight routings are subject to change. Flights will not necessarily be direct or non-stop. P&O Cruises will inform you of any changes.
g) P&O Cruises will determine the city airport i.e. for London, either Heathrow or Gatwick may be used. Where a choice of UK departure airports is offered, this is subject to availability.
h) Please note that air credits are not applicable to passengers booking consecutive cruises during our fl y-cruise season or those not taking our fl ights.
Regional Connecting Flights We offer UK regional fl ights to/from Southampton with selected P&O Cruises holidays.

Passports and visas
If you are a British Citizen, a full passport is required. If you DO NOT HOLD A BRITISH CITIZEN PASSPORT, your passport travel documentation/visa requirements may be different. You should check with your travel agent or our preferred visa supplier, TLCS Global Services, on 0845 899 7214, to ensure you have the correct documentation. The following passport and visa information is for British Citizens only. You will need to have 6 months validity in your passport after your date of return and we would recommend that you have some blank pages in your passport for entry stamps. Children will need their own passports. If you are applying for a new passport, please leave adequate time to action your application. Please be aware that if you are applying for your fi rst British Citizen passport, you may now be required to attend interviews prior to the passport being issued. For this reason, we would advise all passengers in this situation to allow a minimum of six weeks to obtain their passports. For further information, please contact the Identity and Passport Service Adviceline on (+44) 0300 222 00 00 or visit the website at
www.direct.gov.uk or email
info@passport.gov.uk. Please note British Visitor Passports are no longer valid. British Subject* passport holders requirements may differ: please ensure you obtain the necessary documentation.
Russia (including St Petersburg) If you are participating in an organised P&O Cruises shore excursion, we will arrange a group visa to cover you for the duration of your excursion: all passengers must bring a photocopy of the photograph/personal details page of your passport.
If you intend to go ashore independently in Russia, a Russian visa is required. Russian visas can be obtained from the Russian Embassy or a visa service of your choice. To apply for a Russian Tourist Visa, you must possess a visa support letter to accompany your application. Full details will be sent to you approximately 5 weeks prior to departure.
USA (including territories) British Citizen passports issued before 26 October 2005 must be machine-readable. A British passport is machine-readable when there are two lines of letters, numbers and chevrons (<<<<<<) printed across the long edge of the personal information page (the page with photograph and personal details). The machine-readable text will appear on a white strip on older passports and directly on the page on newer passports. If there are no such lines of text on the personal information page, the passport is not machine-readable.
If your passport was issued between 26 October 2005 and 26 October 2006 then it must have a digitally applied photograph (a digital photo is one that is printed on the page, not a photo that is glued or laminated into the passport). At the time of printing this information, any passport that is issued on or after 26 October 2006 must be biometric if used to travel to the United States.
If your passport
is issued after this date and is machine readable but not biometric, you will need to obtain a full US visa. Passports issued at embassies overseas for British Citizens may not be machine readable or biometric. British Citizen passport holders may enter the United States of America (USA) without a visa after completing an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).
ESTA is an automated online system used to determine the eligibility of visitors to travel to the USA under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and whether such travel poses any law enforcement or security risk. Please note, you will be unable to enter the USA under the VWP unless you have obtained an ESTA prior to travel. Important - you must be in possession of your ESTA prior to boarding the ship and we recommend that you carry a copy of the confi rmation as evidence for immigration purposes. Obtaining ESTA approval, for most travellers, will be simple and easy. To apply for your ESTA, please follow the link to the ESTA application website at
http://london.usembassy.gov. A third party, such as a relative or Travel Agent, is permitted to submit an ESTA application on behalf of a VWP traveller. The cost of obtaining an ESTA is currently USD$14.00, this is subject to change at any time. All payments must be made directly to the offi cial Department of Homeland Security ESTA website above using a credit card or debit card. Please do not use any other website as they may charge you a higher fee for the same service.
