What type of plug sockets / voltage are used on board and where are they located?

Standard UK three pin plug sockets are used on all ships across the fleet. Shaver points are also located in the bathrooms.

Please note, Arvia and Iona DO NOT have shaver points in the cabins.

Britannia shaver sockets have US 2 pin sockets (which require an adaptor) to be able to use a UK 3 pin plug.

The standard electrical supply in the United Kingdom is 50HZ (cycles) and 240V.

The supply on board is:
Arcadia - 220V / 110V / 60HZ 

Arvia - 230V / 60HZ
Aurora - 220V / 60HZ
Azura - 230V / 115V / 60HZ
Britannia - 230V / 120V / 60HZ
Iona - 230V / 60HZ
Ventura - 230V / 115V / 60HZ

The above voltage is sufficient to charge electrical equipment such as laptops and cameras.
