Which cruise lines have kettles in cabins?

The following cruise lines have kettles and hot drink making facilities in the cabins:
  • Celebrity Cruises.
  • P&O Cruises.
  • Fred Olsen.
  • Norwegian Cruises – Select Cabins.
  • Cruise and Maritime – Deluxe Cabins and above. ...
  • Hurtigruten – On the MS Fram, MS Midnatsol, MS Trollfjord, MS Finnmarken.




Having a kettle in the cabin is highly dependent on the cruise line and the region where the ship is sailing. Most British-oriented cruise lines, such as P&O Cruises, Cunard, and Fred. Olsen, provide kettles with tea and coffee-making facilities in every cabin as a standard feature. For international lines like Royal Caribbean, kettles are typically only provided on ships sailing out of the UK (Southampton) or Australia to cater to local preferences. Similarly, MSC Cruises and Celebrity Cruises often include kettles on their UK-based itineraries but not on their Caribbean or Mediterranean sailings. Some premium lines, like Holland America and Princess Cruises, may provide them in higher-tier suites or upon request, though availability is often limited. Most major US-based lines (Carnival, Norwegian) generally do not allow kettles in cabins due to fire safety regulations, instead offering 24-hour complimentary coffee and tea stations in the buffet or via room service.
