IMMIGRATION AND DOCUMENTATION

All passengers are required to carry valid Proof Of Citizenship before you will be allowed to board your cruise ship. Bringing proper proof of citizenship is the responsibility of the guest. Any guest traveling without proper documentation will be denied boarding by the cruise ship and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. Please read this page carefully.

Please note the following documentation required for Cruise Travel:

Cruises returning to the US after December 31, 2006
Non-US Citizens Traveling to Alaska or Canada

CRUISES RETURNING TO U.S.

All travelers will be required to have a passport to enter or re-enter the United States. This is a change from prior travel requirements prior to 2006. The goal is to strengthen border security and facilitate entry into the United States for U.S. citizens and legitimate foreign visitors. This new requirement will be known as the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.

Who does this requirement affect?

All United States citizens traveling within the Western Hemisphere who do not currently possess valid passports will be affected.

Certain foreign nationals who currently are not required to present a passport to travel to the United States, namely most Canadian citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and Mexican citizens will also be affected.

How Do I get a passport?

U.S. citizens may visit the Passport section of this website for information on how to apply for a U.S. passport.

You should allow yourself a sufficient amount of time to apply and receive your passport in advance of travel. Please allow 6-8 weeks for processing of U.S. passport applications. Peak U.S. passport processing is between January and July. We recommend applying as soon as possible prior to your cruise.

Foreign nationals should contact their respective governments to obtain passports.
