IMPORTANT: New UK Electronic Travel Authorization Requirement

As of January 8, 2025, the United Kingdom requires certain travelers to obtain an ETA to enter or transit through the UK. However, airside transit does not require a UK ETA. If you are simply connecting flights at a UK airport and remaining airside (not passing through UK border control), you do not need to apply for a UK ETA.

Who Does Need a UK ETA?

You will need to apply for a UK ETA if:

  • You are entering the UK for a short stay (e.g., sightseeing, hotel stays, or other independently arranged plans).
  • Your transit requires passing through UK border control (e.g., transferring between airports or moving landside).


Checking Your Flight Details
We recommend confirming your flight itinerary with your airline to verify whether you will remain airside during your transit.

If you do need to apply for a UK ETA, applications can be completed via the UK ETA app (available on the App Store and Google Play) or the official UK ETA website.

Important Reminder
For guests planning to enter the UK or transit landside, we strongly recommend applying for a UK ETA well in advance. Guests without the required documentation may be denied boarding their flights.
If you have any questions about your travel requirements or need assistance, please contact your travel advisor.

Note: For guests purchasing visas upon entry, please make sure to bring adequate cash (US dollars). Prices listed below are in US dollars, were correct at the time of printing and are subject to change. Passport holders other than the countries below should contact their nearest embassies and consulates for entry and passport requirements.

AmaWaterways Travel Protection with Allianz Travel Insurance

Your exclusive experience deserves the confidence of a trusted name in travel protection. That’s why we’ve partnered with Allianz Global Assistance to offer custom plans designed especially for AmaWaterways guests that can help you plan for the unexpected and enhance your overall experience.

Why protect your AmaWaterways Cruise?
Travel protection can give you flexibility and support when your journey doesn’t go quite as planned. From flight delays to sudden illness and much more, it can help you manage unforeseen events that may impact your trip—giving you peace of mind from the moment you book through your return journey home.

When can travel protection help?
Travel protection gives you financial benefits and professional support if a covered situation comes up before or during your travels, such as:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly coming down with a covered illness
  • Taking care of a traveling companion with a covered illness or injury
  • Having to end your trip early due to a covered family emergency
  • Dealing with a covered flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost, damaged, stolen, or delayed
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

For help with a medical emergency or travel obstacle during your trip, you can also contact the experts at Allianz Global Assistance 24/7/365.

Whether you’re planning your next AmaWaterways experience or you’ve recently booked one, protect your entire trip and worry less about the unexpected.

Benefits and services
To make unforeseen issues easier for you and your traveling companions, travel protection features benefits that can provide cash reimbursement, emergency care support, 24-hour assistance, and more.

Travel at ease with plan benefits and services like:

  • Trip cancellation reimbursement
    Get cash back for your prepaid, non-refundable trip expenses if you must cancel your trip due to a covered reason.
  • Trip interruption reimbursement
    Reimburses the unused, non-refundable portion of your trip expenses and the additional transportation costs required to continue your trip or return home if you need to interrupt your trip for a covered reason.
  • Travel delay
    Compensates up to $300 per person, per day, for additional travel or lost prepaid expenses if your trip is delayed for five or more hours due to a covered reason.
  • Baggage delay
    Reimburses the reasonable additional purchase of essential items during your trip if your baggage is delayed or misdirected by a travel supplier for the number of hours specified in your plan documents—just provide receipts for emergency purchases. Even better, you can opt to receive a $100 payment with no receipts required—just proof of the covered baggage delay.

  • Emergency medical and dental
    This primary benefit provides reimbursement for expenses incurred during your trip due to covered medical and dental emergencies
