Can you smoke on a cruise in Europe?

European cruise lines tend to have more relaxed smoking rules and offer more designated smoking areas than cruise lines leaving from other destinations. No cruise lines allow you to smoke in your room, as this is considered a fire hazard for the entire vessel.

All cruise ships allow smoking in certain areas, which are typically designated in outdoor smoking zones and sometimes in casinos, nightclubs, cigar lounges and cabin balconies (depending on the cruise line). The rest of the ship is firmly nonsmoking, however, and that includes all staterooms, restaurants and theaters.

If you are caught smoking outside in a nonsmoking area, you will be asked to move to a smoking area. If caught smoking in your cabin or cabin balcony, you will be told to stop and charged a cleaning fee (typically $200 to $250). If you continue to break the rule, you may be forcibly removed from the ship.
