Drones on P&O / Cunard cruise ships

Hi. I’ve asked that before with p&o and it’s a strict NO. They don’t allow drones on board even if you weren’t planning on flying it from the ship they still don’t allow. Shame because went to the Caribbean earlier in the year and the fjords and would of made some stunning shots

So, that’s a result then. Maybe other operators will follow…?

I’d definitely print that out and keep with the drone.

Hi folks, I’m a compete newby when it comes to drones (and cruises for that matter!). We’re on a Norwegian fjord cruise with P & O in April and I was gutted to find out that drones were banned. It appears that they have relented now because when I emailed them, P & O have come back saying they are allowed as long as they aren’t flown from the ship, in ports and the usual air restrictions. I’m not sure about certification in Norway, I’m still waiting for a response. You need insurance, needs to be LOS and 120m max. Just thought people might be interested…

You need european flyer ID and registration and send every flight for approval. Applying for authorisation. Friendly people.
There are a number of apps but most of the airspace is red.

Someone else posted that you can create quite a large window in space and time for when and where you want to fly.

Hi, David, thanks for this. Please can you explain to a newby what you mean by sending a flight for approval? I thought that you only need a valid EASA certificate of competence if you are under the Open Category.

Thanks again

Each EU country has their own set of rules on top of the EASA side of things - so check out the country rules too. The EASA is basically just a registration like we do with the CAA for Op/Fly ID.

Thank you :+1:
