Daytime activities

From refreshing morning swims to leisurely afternoons by the water, our swimming pools offer a wonderful way to enjoy life at sea.

Whether you're gliding through the water as the sun rises or settling into a shaded lounger with a good book, our swimming pools bring a special sense of escape to every voyage. Take a refreshing dip on a sea day. Linger a little longer over lunch in the sunshine. Watch the ocean drift by from your sun lounger. From peaceful moments spent poolside to lively afternoons at the heart of the ship, our swimming pools offer countless ways to relax, unwind, and make the most of your time on board.

General

Fresh water is in the swimming pools although there is generally less chlorine then typical pools located shoreside. On Queen Mary 2, we do allow the use of pool inflatables such as lilos however, we ask that you do not use these if the pool is busy to allow room for other guests. On Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria, inflatables are not allowed. Use of arm bands or inflatable rings for children are allowed. Paddling pools are not permitted on board.

Opening times

All pools are open between 8am and 9pm. The exception to this is the Hydropool which is open between 8am and 8pm. All pools and jacuzzis are netted at night, during maintenance and heavy seas.

Children

On some ships there will be designated pools for use by adults only. All children must be toilet trained before using any of the pools on board. Due to public health regulations, children in nappies, swim nappies, pull-ups and those who are not completely toilet trained are not permitted to use the pools on board. All pools are unsupervised and children under the age of 16 years are to be supervised by a parent or adult carer at all times.
