Security will mean the protection, guarding or defence of persons, property from threats posed by crime, terrorism, or business malpractice.  It is the business of dealing with the risks presented by such threats and the creation of a response and/or defence to them.
It will encompass everything that works towards the provision of protection, guarding or defence, including intelligence gathering, research and information technology.
Cruising is a safe holiday and the company, the Captain and crew take comprehensive precautions and measures to ensure the safety and security of passengers.
Cruise ship security standards are strictly guided by Flag state requirements, internationally approved standards, and all individual cruise lines also have well established security policies and procedures.
Cruising is therefore recognised as a very safe form of travel and the safety and security of our ships is paramount. Our fleets are equipped with a comprehensive series of protective measures and devices which are activated in accordance with the ship’s security plan.
We are guided by government travel advisories, one of which is the United Kingdom, Foreign & Commonwealth Office. We take all necessary precautions, maintain close contact with all other relevant authorities and closely monitor all aspects of security risk throughout the world.
