A cabin number (11510 or 11.510), a place name, or a word like buffet, pool or toilets.
Where am I?
Point the camera at the number beside any cabin door. Fill the frame and hold steady.

My Holiday
P&O's onboard site: bookings, menus, the daily programme. It runs on the ship's network, so it only works on the ship's wi-fi.
Showing Not Found or staying blank? Either you're off the ship's wi-fi,
or P&O block the page from opening inside another app.
Open it in your browser instead.
Aboard Map is a free deck map for P&O Iona and Arvia. It works with no
signal at all, wherever the ship is. But it only helps if it's on the phone in your
pocket.
Scan to open itPoint your phone's camera at it. Or type
aboardmap.com into the phone.
It's free and there are no adverts. I made it as a passenger.
There's no app store. Open aboardmap.com on your phone and add it to your home
screen. That's the whole job.
Add it at home, while you still have internet. Leave it until you're aboard and it
needs the internet you haven't got.

What you get
Where you areScan the number beside any cabin door, then follow the steps to any bar or show.
Where you're goingYour ports, day by day, with the hours you have ashore.
What to do thereA street map you can save. What costs nothing, kept apart from what costs money.
Aboard Map is an independent guide made by a passenger.
It is not affiliated with or endorsed by P&O Cruises. Positions come from the published
deck plan.
Your stops
Tap a place to read about it, or its flag for the money and a few
words of the language.
Add your own dinners, shows and trips ashore to any day. They're your notes,
so nothing here is booked, and I can't see what you've booked with P&O.
These times are a guide, not a promise. The captain gives the real ones
the day before, so listen to the announcement. And leave yourself plenty of time to get off:
a few thousand people go ashore at once, and it takes longer than you'd think.
Welcome aboard
Aboard Map shows you where everything is on Iona, and how to walk there: restaurants, bars, shows, and your cabin.
It works everywhere on the ship, even without internet.
When do you sail? With your dates it works out your ports, the hours you have ashore at each, and a street map of every stop to save before you go.
Shall I email you before you sail? Emails to help you get the most out of your cruise.
Just your email and your sailing. Unsubscribe any time.
What's your cabin number? It's on your boarding pass, and beside your cabin door.
With this saved, directions to anywhere on board start from your own door.
Lost? Tap Where am I? and point the camera at the cabin number beside any door. The map shows exactly where you're standing.
Looking for somewhere? Tap Find and type a place or a cabin number to get walking directions.
FWD, MID and AFT are the ship's three sets of stairs and lifts: front, middle and back. Tap them, or anything else on the map.
Add Aboard Map to your home screen and it opens like any other app: full screen, with its own icon, even mid-ocean with no internet.
Which ship are you on?
Everything Aboard Map shows you is different on each ship, so this needs to be right.

My cabin
Using the map
Where am I? reads the cabin number beside any door. On the public decks, open a place on the map and tap I'm standing here instead.
Find knows every cabin and venue. Try buffet, pool or toilets. Once you have saved your cabin or scanned a door, the nearest comes first.
The amber dot is you and the pin is where you're going. WC is a toilet. The FWD, MID and AFT boxes are the stairs and lifts. Tap anything for more.
Your position updates when you scan, not by itself, so the dot goes quiet after a couple of minutes. And the map is a sketch: places are where they really are, but walls and corridors aren't drawn.
Zoom right in on a cabin deck and every door number appears.
Your stops
Tap Stops for the day, the place, and the hours you have ashore. Tap a place for what it is, a street map you can save, and what's worth doing once you're off. You can write your own plans onto any day. They're your notes, so nothing you write down is booked, and I can't see what you've booked with P&O.
Each stop is split in two: what costs nothing, and what costs money. There are no prices and no opening times, because those go stale on a phone and a wrong one costs you a morning.
If I don't have your sailing yet, Stops gives you the days on their own, without the ports. You can still plan them.
Your sailing dates live there too. Until you give them, the boxes are waiting on that sheet. After that, Change my dates is under the line naming your cruise.
Tell someone
Send the map to anyone else who's sailing. It's free, and there's nothing to sign up for.
Point a camera at this. It needs internet the first time, so it works best before you sail or in port.
Before you sail
Checking in, luggage labels, the insurance P&O insist on, and your boarding pass:
the list is here.
A web page, so you'll need internet. It's for doing at home anyway.
More
A place on the wrong deck, a cabin in the wrong spot, a number it won't read:
email a correction and I'll fix it for everyone.
Each ship has a page of its own, deck by deck:
Iona and
Arvia. Both need internet too.
I made this as a passenger, and it costs nothing. If it saved your holiday, you can
buy me a pint.
Updates
Aboard Map updates itself whenever you have a connection.
Aboard Map is an independent guide made by a passenger. It is not affiliated with
or endorsed by P&O Cruises. Positions come from the published deck plan.
It counts visits and app launches anonymously. If you sign up, all that's
kept is your email and your sailing, and nothing else about you. GDPR wants
a company name against that, and mine is Immersi. You can unsubscribe any
time. No cookies, and your position never leaves your phone.
Before you sail
Two things are worth doing while you're still at home: stopping your
phone running up a bill once the ship sails, and saving a map of every stop on your
cruise.
Just your email and your sailing. Unsubscribe any time.
