The Rise of Smokefree Cruise Options

Cruising is evolving to meet growing demand for healthier travel experiences post-pandemic, and smokefree policies are a part of the picture. Because cruise ships operate in international waters, these policies are business decisions of individual cruise lines—not government laws. Progress is being made, but passengers have a vital role in driving change by voicing their preference for 100% smokefree environments.

Where Cruise Lines Stand on Secondhand Smoke

  • Celebrity Cruises stands out with its fully smokefree policy, including its casinos, offering a cleaner environment for all.
  • Virgin Voyages offers smokefree spaces, including some casino areas, aligning with its wellness-focused branding.
  • Royal Caribbean International offers a mix of smoking and smokefree options, reflecting shifting passenger preferences.
  • Carnival Cruise Line now has nearly half of its fleet offering smokefree casinos—a significant step for the world’s largest cruise operator.
  • Princess Cruises is introducing an expanded smokefree slot machine area on its new Star Princess, reflecting growing demand for healthier onboard options.

What You Can Do to Support Smokefree Cruising

  • Speak Up: Always mention your preference for smokefree environments in surveys, reviews, and feedback to cruise companies.
  • Choose Smokefree: Prioritize ships and itineraries with smokefree policies to show there’s strong demand.
  • Spread the Word: Share your experiences with smokefree cruises in online travel reviews to show companies that customers are paying attention.

Let’s keep the momentum going—your voice matters!
