Welcome to our security homepage, this page is dedicated to our Security teams onboard P&O Cruises and Cunard ships. If you are new to the department or a returning seafarer, this page will provide you with everything you need to know about working as part of the ship’s security team.
Overview of the Security Department
Our Security Teams are an integral role in ensuring a safe and secure environment for both our guests and crew. With operations spanning the globe, our security team is dedicated to providing excellent customer service while maintaining the physical security of the ship according to the approved ship security plan.
As part of the team you’ll play a vital role in securing access to the ship when in port, controlling gangways and other entry points, screening luggage for prohibited items, and scanning all approved personnel on and off the ship. Your presence will be felt in both guest and crew areas, preventing unauthorised access to the ship and conducting regular patrols as directed by the ship security officer and security supervisor
Communication with guests and crew is key to preventing, de-escalating, and managing incidents as they arise. As needed, you may also assist with investigating incidents. It’s important to follow routines and processes correctly at all times, attend drills and training as required, and stay vigilant and observant, addressing any concerns appropriately.
Being part of our security teams is both a rewarding and challenging experience. Imagine traveling the world, making lifelong friends, and playing a vital role in ensuring our guests’ holiday happiness on all our cruises!
