FAQ: P&O Cruises - Cabins

At My Kind of Cruise, we know how important it is to choose the right cabin for your holiday at sea. Whether you are a solo traveller, a couple, or a family looking to unwind, P&O Cruises offers a wide range of accommodation options designed with comfort and convenience in mind. Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions about cabins on P&O Cruises.

What types of cabins are available with P&O Cruises?

P&O Cruises offers the following accommodation categories:

- Suites

The most spacious and luxurious accommodation. Suites come with expansive living areas, a private balcony, priority boarding, and a range of premium extras such as butler service and whirlpool baths. They are the perfect choice for those looking to cruise in style and comfort.

- Mini-Suites

Mini-Suites offer additional space with features such as separate lounge areas and larger balconies. Conservatory Mini-Suites are also available on Arvia and Iona, providing a unique indoor-outdoor space thanks to a conservatory-style lounge.

- Balcony Cabins

- These feature private balconies with seating, perfect for enjoying sea views and fresh air. Options include:

• Standard Balcony

• Deluxe Balcony (offering extra space and a sofa)

• Superior Deluxe Balcony (with even more room and upgraded furnishings)

- Sea View cabins:

These outside cabins come with a window or porthole, allowing natural light to brighten your space and providing a constant connection with the sea.

- Inside cabins:

Inside cabins are windowless and located within the ship’s interior. They are an affordable and cosy option, ideal for those who plan to spend most of their time enjoying ship amenities and shore excursions.

- Single cabins:

Specifically designed for solo travellers, these cabins are available in inside, sea view, and balcony configurations, depending on the ship. They offer a practical and comfortable solution without the need to pay a single supplement.

What facilities are included in every cabin?

All cabins, regardless of category, are equipped with the following:

- Air conditioning

- Daily steward service

- En-suite bathroom with toiletries from The White Company

- Tea and coffee making facilities

- Television with a variety of channels and on-demand content

- Hair dryer and personal safe

- Telephone

- Vanity desk and chair

- Chiller (in some cabin types)

- British plug sockets

Which ships offer single cabins?

- Inside Single Cabins: Available on all ships except Aurora.

- Single Sea View Cabins: Available on Aurora, Azura, and Ventura.

- Single Balcony Cabins: Available on Arvia, Iona, Britannia, Aurora, and Arcadia.

What is the difference between a Mini-Suite and a full Suite?

While both offer more space and comfort than standard cabins, Suites include premium perks like butler service, priority embarkation and disembarkation, and access to exclusive dining venues. Mini-Suites are slightly smaller and do not include butler service, but they still offer enhanced comfort and generous living areas.

Are balcony cabins worth it?

If you enjoy spending time in your room and value fresh air and views, a balcony cabin is a superb choice. They are ideal for relaxing in privacy and watching the sea glide by. Many guests find the added outdoor space enhances their cruise experience.

Are inside cabins a good option?

Inside cabins are a cost-effective way to cruise without compromising on quality. They include all the essential features and are great for guests who plan to spend most of their time exploring the ship and destinations.

Can I select my cabin location?

Yes, you can choose your preferred cabin type and location when booking. Popular requests include midship cabins for stability, higher decks for better views, or cabins near lifts for accessibility. Availability is subject to demand, so early booking is recommended.

Whether you are cruising solo, with family, or planning a luxurious getaway, there is a perfect cabin for every kind of traveller aboard a P&O Cruises ship. At My Kind of Cruise, we are here to help you choose the right accommodation based on your preferences, budget, and travel style.
