VERY IMPORTANT

Please Read the Following Information Carefully.

​

• USA Citizens may travel without a passport by providing the following information:  An Original or Certified USA Birth Certificate + USA Government Issued Photo Identification. BOTH items must be presented. This applies only to closed-loop cruises that start and end in the USA.

• This cruise requires a valid passport for all non-USA guests. Passports should expire after 12/07/2026. Failure to provide a proper form of identification will result in the denial of boarding the ship.

• Please ensure that the Legal First and Last Names you provided for your booking and travel documentation are identical to the Legal First and Last Names on your passport.

• Many carriers do not require the inclusion of a Middle Name or Middle Initial, or a Suffix such as Jr. or Sr., and it may not be necessary on your travel documentation. Your passport must be valid for at least six (6) months past the completion of your travel. Check your passport to verify that the expiration date will be valid six months beyond your return date to the United States. If your passport expires earlier than this six-month window, you must renew it before your trip's departure; otherwise, you will be denied re-entry to the United States upon your trip's return. Expired passports are not acceptable. Ensure that your passport has blank pages for entry and exit endorsements, as well as any visas that may be required.

• Because of these requirements, you are encouraged to apply for or renew your passport as soon as possible to allow sufficient processing time prior to your departure. Note that  it is no longer be possible to add pages to your passport; if you do not have enough pages for stamps and visas, you will need to renew your passport.

• All guests must present the required documentation at boarding. Travelers without the proper and required documentation may be denied boarding. No refunds will be issued, and travelers will be subject to full cancellation penalties. Fines may be levied against travelers without proper documentation, and these vary by country. Payment of any fines levied is the responsibility of the traveler.

• Family Legal Documents: Adults who are not the parent or Legal Guardian of any minor child traveling with them are required to present the child's valid passport and visa (if needed), as well as an original, notarized letter signed by at least one of the child's parents. The notarized letter from the child's parent must authorize the traveling adult to take the child on the specific cruise. It must also authorize the traveling adult to supervise the child and permit any necessary medical treatment to be administered to the child. If a non-parent adult is a Legal Guardian, the adult must present a certified certificate of Guardianship with respect to the child.

• Non-U.S. Citizens and foreign nationals should contact their respective governments to obtain details about their passport and documentation requirements. If your country participates in the United States' Visa Waiver Program (VWP), you must have a machine-readable passport to enter the United States. Please note that boarding may be denied to travelers from VWP countries who do not have machine-readable passports. Additional information is available online.
