Need to Know:

Cruise Documentation:
 
On cruises that begin and end in the same US port and do not sail through the Panama Canal or to any
South American ports, you are required to carry one of the below documents:

A Valid Passport

OR

Proof of Citizenship (see below) AND Government-issued photo ID

    • State certified U.S. birth certificate

(Baptismal paper, hospital certificates of birth, and Puerto Rico birth certificates issued prior to 7/1/10 are not acceptable.)

  • Enhanced Driver’s License (enhanced driver’s licenses are only issued in Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington)
  • A valid passport card

Photocopies or pictures of documents will not be accepted.

Norwegian Cruise Line & Sunflower Travel strongly recommends all guests to obtain a passport for their cruise vacation for the following reasons:

 

  • If you miss the ship at its scheduled U.S. departure port and need to travel outside the U.S. to meet the ship, a passport would be required to travel internationally by air.
  • If you unexpectedly need to depart the ship from a foreign port prior to the end of sailing, a passport would be required to travel internationally by air.
  • International ports of call can change their travel requirements at their own discretion and may unexpectedly require all guests to have a valid passport to go ashore.

 


ITINERARY
  • Check your specific sailing for exact departure and arrival times. All times are local to the port.
  • Itineraries are subject to change at any time without notice.
  • View a list of tender ports.
 
EMBARKATION + DISEMBARKATION
  • Due to security reasons, all guests must be on board 2 hours before sailing on Day 1 of cruise.
  • Disembarkation usually begins 2 hours after docking on final day of cruise.
 

Cruise Cancellation Policy (Per Room):

These terms may not apply or may vary based on insurance inclusions/exclusions. 

119 to 91 Days Prior to Sailing - 25% Cruise Cancellation Penalty
90 to 61 Days Prior to Sailing - 50% Cruise Cancellation Penalty
60 to 31 Days Prior to Sailing - 75% Cruise Cancellation Penalty

A reduction of less than 7 Double Occupancy Rooms for the sailing may result in increased fares and fewer amenities. 



American Airlines requires a minimum of 10 Passengers before ticketing (April 15th) for reduced group rates. Any reduction below 10 Passengers may result in American Airlines canceling the group rates. Passengers would be responsible for the fare difference. 

Passengers who voluntarily cancel from the group after ticketing (April 15th) will be provided a Future Airline Credit less $75 Penalty by American Airlines.
