Passport and International Travel Requirements

The policy is below:

Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise. Even though a guest has completed registration using Fun Pass, it is still the responsibility of the guest to bring all required travel documents. Guests should check with their travel agent, and/or government authority to determine the travel documents necessary for each port of call. Any guest without proper documents will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. Cruise Planners assumes no responsibility for advising guests of proper travel documentation.

Cruise Travel U.S. Citizens:

We highly recommend that all guests travel with a passport valid for at least six months beyond completion of travel. Although a passport is not required for U.S. citizens taking cruises that begin & end in the same U.S. port, travelling with a passport enhances their disembarkation experience, as delays may be expected upon their return to the U.S. if they do not have one. Additionally, passports make it easier for them to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port should they miss their scheduled port of embarkation, or need to fly back to the U.S. for emergency reasons.

The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) allows U.S. citizens (including children) sailing on cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port to travel with one of the following WHTI compliant documents:

• Valid U.S. Passport
• Original or suitable quality copy of a Birth Certificate
• Certificate of Naturalization
• Passport Card
• Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL)
• Trusted Traveler Program Membership Card, e.g., Nexus Card, Sentri Card or Fast Card
• 
  

A government-issued photo ID is also required for all guests, including children 16 and over. For more information, a complete list of WHTI-compliant documents or to obtain a passport application, visit http://www.travel.state.gov.

*Sailings from Canada or to Canadian Ports of Call, U.S. Citizens require a valid passport or WHTI compliant documents.*

*Europe, Hawaii and Transatlantic Cruises, U.S. citizens must have a valid passport.*

U.S. Alien Residents and Non-U.S. Citizens:

U.S. Alien Residents require a valid Alien Resident Card and/or passport (depending on itinerary) to travel on all cruises. Non-U.S. citizens require a valid machine readable passport and a valid, unexpired U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa, if applicable, to travel on all cruises. Guests are advised to check with their travel agent or appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents, including a Schengen or Croation Visa necessary for European cruises.

 Visas:

May be a requirement for countries that you are planning to visit (Russia, China, Brazil and more). 

Check with your travel agent to determine whether you will need a visa is required.

Cruise Planners strongly recommends that you have a passport in your possession at times when traveling.
